Eh whatever. Young people who like techno? Bring 'em on. It was
a little disappointing how clueless most of the crowd were when Auxmen
came on.

The stuff I was chuffed to see was thinner on the ground but:
1. Mad Professor. Brought tears to my eyes
2. Stewart Walker. Brilliant live set, best I've seen him done.
3. Ron Carroll and Boo Williams -- if you don't like house music you
won't care, but OH MY FUCKING GOD. I laid in the grass with friends
for all of Ron Carroll, staring up at the blue sky, and all of us
were flat-on-yer-back jacking to the music. Probably looked like
a bunch of fish flopping in the mud.
4. T1000 main stage. Most people who play hard techno are irritating
and boring. Alan is always musical even as he hits hard as nails.
5. Last minute Sonic Groove tag team -- Franky Bones, Adam X, and Heather
Heart. They were having fun, the crowd was well up for it, and it was
a beautiful day.
6. Deep Chord. Deep Chord. Deep Chord.
And the afterparties were lush. I saw Vladislav Delay and Herbert. Nuff Said.
Also: Terrence Parker at the Camilian Cafe. I've seen him play probably 10
times, and no two times are alike. Seeing him in his home town, with his
hometown friends and fans is always amazing.
Also Also: Ron Trent at the KMS party played a deep house set that was
like dying and going to heaven. I was so physically knackered I sat
down for the last hour or so, and drifted on the edge of sleep to amazing,
beautiful, soulful, funky music.
Ron Trent was so good, I went back to the backroom where Kevin Saunderson
was playing, and after two tracks went back up front.
