nope it was good, the main room anyway.
right thru the haze and the lack of sleep ...
I still maintain the place is one of the 7 rings of hell. after an hour and a halfs queuing, and watching bouncers randomly pick people off to get out of the queue etc it was a relief to get in, and find a loo too mind, as i had gone through several stages of conciousness. The whole queuing thing seems to be totally needless too.
Got in just as diplo was half way thru, a good mix of dancehall, hip hop, spinning in the odd curveball, around the world by daft punk etc, dropping ice rink really amped the crowd, (it sounded just incredible, hearing it on the fabric system is a reminder of just how brilliant it is)
roll deep, well the whole crew were there and some, kano and ghetto from nasty, gods gift, (his new one was reloaded alot) taliban trim. Wiley was guiding proceedings for sure, quite a mentor, it's endearing, but ghetto was the firestarter, spitting energy and anger, got the crowd going, got the onstage moshing violently. God's gift's rough throated verses were a highlight as well, as were Kano's, who's probably the smoothest and least reactive mc of the lot.
the whole thing needed to be a bit louder (always my complaint), but vibe caught on, more energy than precision for sure,
everybody seemed to be enjoying it, even though the lyrics couldn't really be heard at times.
