the creepy fuck on the left of the picture of paris is awesome. grinning like a fucking fool/troll

Pretty nice footage of Netsky, watch it in 720p.

There are better moments of the set that could have been recorded, but it has some good bits. He played a ton of his own tracks from over the years, some remixes, some unreleased stuff. He double dropped most of his own tunes with something else of his. He played this fucking amazing unreleased track before he dropped Mellow, you can hear it for a few seconds and then in the background while Mellow is playing. Hopefully I'm not stepping into Donald's territory here...

Uhh, wow, that set was completely bonkers within the first three minutes.

[Porkchop]

YES I found it, M.A.N.D.Y I guess dropped it but I definitely heard it a couple times last night.. Heres in MANDY dropping it in low quality.


I think this is the same remix but holy shit it sounded massive in the chess village!

[moomoo]

Fuck yes, awesome find. I definitely remember when they dropped this. EVERYTHING sounded massive at that stage, amazing sound.

Christ, I can only imagine (and dream) what this face-punching techno would actually feel like.

It's like he went to a totally different event than we did, hahah.

[Distorted_Jungle]

So I finally have the energy to write my review of the night….

Jamie Jones – AWESOME! I knew before hand that MooMoo was super stoked for this set and that was enough for me to make sure I caught it, and boy am I glad I did. Best discovery of the night for me, and number 3 on my top 3 sets of the night.

Netsky – Best set I’ve ever heard on a drum n bass stage in my life, so fuckin good. My legs were already getting tired before going to this set but that did not stop me from losing all control and getting down for majority of his set. This would be the 2nd best set of the night for me, I still can’t get over how good it really was and how much more excited it made me to catch High Contrast at Coachella.

Marco Carola – I thought he spun a very good set, not as memorable as Jamie Jones was for me, but still a really great techno set.

Loco Dice – He is pretty much in the same boat as Marco Carola, he spun a great set with a lot of really heavy tracks and when he brought in the “Every day I’m Hustlin” vocals at the end it was great.

Richie Hawtin – Best set of the night hands down, it was everything I expected and so much more. He brought it dark, heavy, loud and just completely fuckin filthy. I am not even going to describe anything past that, there really are no words to put on that set.


Thank you to all you wonderful people for sharing one of the best nights of my entire life with me, such a great festival. LONG LIVE THE TECHNO STAGE!!!!

[Distorted_Jungle]

It's like he went to a totally different event than we did, hahah.

Every time I look at his pictures that's how I feel. He's always at the worst stages, he's like Deadmaufives best friend so it doesn't surprise me that much.


Funniest thing to happen all night: Walking out toward our hotel after the festival and this happened...

Wife: Can I divorce you and marry Richie Hawtin?

Me: Of course!

kid walking infront of us: *turns around* Who?

Me: Richie Hawtin

Kid: Richie Who?

Everyone: HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

Kid's girlfriend: Ummm... Kaskade... Heaven... Hellooooo...

Me: It's not even worth it, I'm good.


That taking place right after the set Hawtin played was just too much.

[ENluv12]

Where was everyone during Richie's set? I didn't know what anyone looked like or where you would all be. I was pretty close to the front on the right hand side of the stage (around where you would walk out to go to the pond.) I was just wondering if I happened to talk to any of you and didn't even realize it. I am a 6'4, blond, and was wearing gray pants and a pink shirt, with a black zip-up sweat shirt over.

[boarderwoozel3]

So to those who dug Ritchie's set: (if you haven't already) dig into any and all [-] M-uns records artists and demand they be featured at your local events.

Awesome to hear everyone had such a good time.

We were all pretty close up to the stage in the middle. I was in a chicken hat.

[guedita]

Kid's girlfriend: Ummm... Kaskade... Heaven... Hellooooo...

Yeah, some people behind me on the walk back complimented me on my pants and I asked them who their favorite set was and then they started arguing about whether or not it was Dirty South or Kaskade so I said nevermind and walked away.

I don't remember a chicken hat There was a guy next to me with red light up shoes... Do you remember seeing him?

^^^ same for every conversation I had with people touching my tentacles. :P

At least they were polite kids though. We might make fun of their choices in music, but it was nothing like the crappy kids at Coachella last year.

Wait were they light up tentacles on a backpack?? I totally was grabbing some during Richie Hawtin, a girl with glasses. Told me not to pull on them and it was your costume from Sea of Dreams?

Here is one of my videos, damn Loco Dice... some more of Loco and Richie here.

[chiapet]

Yup, that was me (Hope I didn't sound cross, a bunch of them were ripped off during the night). There were at least a dozen board people around you then.

[myvelouria94]

Nice!! I was posted in front of the soundboard for all of Loco and Richie... that's cool I didn't even know I was surrounded by everyone. But no you were very cool about it

[chiapet]

Haha, cool. I am not sure how well I was socializing at that point, Richie was completely blowing my mind. Yea, all the board people were in that area though most everyone moved closer for Richie. I went up to the rail for a little bit (that's the brilliant thing about the light up appendages, everyone is glad to let you through / in front of them). Kicking myself for not bringing a camera, I got some would-be awesome shots which are, unfortunately, total crap resolution (camera phone).


Edited: in the video you posted, on the bottom left, you can see a gold hat, and just the top of guedita's chicken head. So yup, you were right next to us.

I wore a duck hat and green dinosaur shirt........pretty much if you looked for the dozen or so people losing their mind and getting down more than everyone else there, you would have found us! next time!

[discobotica]

Christ, I can only imagine (and dream) what this face-punching techno would actually feel like.

It felt like, well, getting punched in the face in the best way possible.......I was literally punching my own face to the beat a good portion of the Hawt One's set

[Distorted_Jungle]

Nice!! I was posted in front of the soundboard for all of Loco and Richie... that's cool I didn't even know I was surrounded by everyone. But no you were very cool about it

I was right next to her when you were playing with those too, I remember that distictly. Wish I would have known I would have said hello, next time for sure.

[guedita]

You also see chia's neon gloves at the very start of that Loco Dice video. I will definitely check out the rest of your videos when I get home, myvelouria.

[Porkchop]

Wow I swear I was right by everyone and during Richie I was right by the light up tentacles! I was wearing a bright polka shirt.. Couldn't miss it!

[guedita]

I definitely remember seeing you in that shirt, porkchop! Also,

The techno stage was one of the best crowds I've ever partied in.

It was the vibe of the chicken!

Another highlight is when Paco Osuna dropped Dance on the Moon- Kaiserdisco
