(Meat Beat, "top Techno band"? Hmmn (-: )
Actually, if you read the SoCal-Raves Calendar, this wouldn't have surprised
you so much:
Friday, June 21 - Saturday, June 22.
? - by Kingfish? 3 day event. Live performances by top UK acts
(probably some Brothers and a few spherical things ;). In the San
Bernardino Mountains. More TBA.

Actually, Big Bear is just a piece of Vermont that was transplanted onto the
top of a 9000 ft. flat plateau, so the natives wouldn't know they'd been moved.

It's about 90 miles inland from downtown Los Angeles, and it's a beautiful
place. Something our non-US readers might not know is that at the right
times of year, it's actually possible to drive down to the beach, get a
sunburn in the morning, leave the beach by Noon, drive a couple of hours, and
go skiing for the rest of the afternoon. I've actually done this ...

Well, that's kinda debatable. Personally Plantasia (Mixmaster Morris, Young
American Primitive, Carl Craig, Adam X DJ'ing) was a highlight, and of
course the aborted Vaporspace/Aphex/Orbital/Moby event that almost happened,
and for sheer "biggest" I doubt it would exceed Millennium (14,000) or
K-Rave (17,000).
Personally though I think they should call it "Tribal Gathering" and ship
everyone else who was supposed to play at TG over here and say it's the
makeup event (-:

(Who would personally rather be at Sonar the week before than see The
Orb/Orbital/Meat Beat/Chemical Brothers, since I've seen 'em all)
