I'm only just back from Cork now (5 hour bus trip to Galway )

First impressions were fairly bad... mostly due to the pig ignorant scum that these kind of events attract like moths.
Got a chance to check out most of the people i wanted to... was hanging around with a mate all day, so we made plans on who we were going to see early on in the day.
Umek - ****ing quality!
Fergie - utterly ****e
Marco Bailey - pretty damn good
Keri Chandler - cheesy as hell but entertaining nonetheless)
Adam Freeland - his essential mix is one of my faves... his set from ggg was one of the lowpoints of the day... monotonous crap.
Danny Howells - highlight of the day. wasn't sure what to expect but i'm sure as **** going to get more of his stuff now.
Dave Clarke - meh...
Steve Lawler - meh...
Paul Oakenfold - pretty entertaining actually. "where the streets have no name" sounded ****ing immense through that system
Sasha & Digweed - couldn't get into them tbh.
Tiesto - i can see what the fuss is about now. would love to get a copy of this set
Lisa ****ing Lashes - first three tunes were ****ing abysmal (this coming from a hard nrg freak), her mixing seemed so pissweak after Tiesto (wtf was with all the gammy sounding spinbacks and cutting???). another lowpoint. but at least i knew what to expect this time...
Coxy - decent

Ste-

Never ever thought you'd say anything of the sort about Tiesto.

i'm surprised at fergie too, last time i saw him though was when he just started playing techno, and he was class!!

cant wait to see sasha and digweed this week, they were supposed to be brill, and dave clarke cracked it out too, so i heard from all me mates.

tman - who did you think was the best, and who was the biggest surprise??

Excuse my ignorance but where and when? Thought that was it.

Its not in Dublin anyway, just to stop you getting potentially exited only to be disappointed.

I would have loved to see them together down there but I couldnt make it.

What made Tiesto so good?

I was very disappointed by Tiesto, didn't play any of his best tunes. Oakenfold was also a let down.

Eddie Halliwell stole the show, surprised he was on so early.

best was most likely Danny Howells - he should've been on instead of Sasha & Digweed imho.
Biggest surprise was definitely Tiesto. you can't really appreciate what he does until you've seen him play to a crowd that size. his superstar status is definitely well deserved

I didnt make it to the gig but what was Eddie Halliwell like? Have a few of his sets and saw him in Waterford a few months back. Quality stuff.

cmcquaid

i thought sasha and digweed were class as well as oakenfold cos he played all the classics

eddie halliwell is one of the best djs around atm. seen him twice in ibiza last year and in the red box last time he played.
