To be honest yes I kinda like it when they mash up their songs almost beyond
recognizition, what's the use of playing live, if you stick to the original
tracks. I must admit that I even liked the version of the art of stalking,
but I tought hey I wonder if anybody will recognize this version. And thanks
for telling me who was really spinning because I quite liked Locotus. But
about Surgeon I tought he played BOOMBOOMBOOM tracks and so I was pleasently
surprized with his set.

Eerm It was not Luke Solomon spinning it was a frien of James
Pennington
called Locutus, for some reason Luke Solomon had a 'No Show'.
Locutus was my
favorite DJ of the day, yup beter then Surgeon, he played some nice
Detroit
techno and electro tracks and showed fine mixing skills.

Did you really like his live PA? I found it quite disappointing and
he
played a horrible version of his hit-track 'The art of stalking' The
rhythms
where way to hard, almost impossable to hear basslines and melodies.

Well i did saw them and tehy did their job. Acid Junkies always rock
the
crowed. I have seem them preform a lot of times and it's always nice
to hear
them, definitly hollands best live-act.
Ference also did a DJ set and he started out with some garage tracks
(and i
do mean garage not garage house), later on he started playing some
of his
I-F tracks and the place exploded when he played Miss Kitten's
remake off
'Sweet Dreams' from the Eurithmics.
