Yeah what was the dance arena's saying? who rocked and who flopped? how did the cutting edge grime sound go down?
the dance area was great: it worked really well having lots of little stages instead of one big one. fire camp etc went dowjn surprisingly well- the tent was really empty when they started, but it soon filled up. j2k and crazy titch have a nice double-act thing going as well.
The Bug was great too- played classic dancehall riddims like diwali as well as his own stuff. fatboy slim in the tank was great- it was a suprise set so hardly anyone was there and it felt really intimate- he was holding up records to us to guage our reaction before deciding whether to play them or not.
2 many djs did a great electro-house DJ set- no mashups or bootlegs at all, i don't think.
cassette boy abnd dj/rubbish were hilarious and just what a wet glastonbury audience needs. they had this MC with them who warned us, 'Don't touch children', and was bigging up his DJ by saying, 'It's as if he's not shit!'. excellent.
ceephax was a little too heavy on crazy DSP wanks for my liking- i like him when he's in a more frenetically danceable acid mood.
mark one and virus syndicate didn't turn up, sadly.
but, all in all, the dance area was a great sucess. altho it needs more drug dealers.
