not just an addiction
First of all, your cigarettes cost more than Chicago, and thats an accomplishment. Second, your alcohol costs 5 times as much. It was like $30 or something for a case of Pabst!
Anyway, this is about music. I went to the WEMF a bit ago, my first time. It stands for "World Electronic Music Festival". It should be called something more like "a bunch of drugged out kids in a warehouse in the middle of nowhere listening to trance and crappy dnb".
Ive gone to my share of campouts, and even a few festivals, and never have i had to listen to so much crappy music. I dont want to sound like im complaining, but wow... i never knew there was so much trance there. WE camped right along a strip of forest, and about 1hour after setting up camp, a soundsystem starts up. "oh great" i think, constant music. i figured i could handle though, i mean what was i there for. plus, it started out as some good electrohouse. But it quickly changed to some of the worst trance ive ever heard. and at 7am. plus, there were about 10 other side-systems all playing trance 24/7. there was one techno tent with some good music, but it was right next to the main stage.
the main room(s) were mindboggling. massive stages, amazing lighting. one stage for dnb (see the "modern dnb is rubbish" thread - pendulum, planet of the drums, etc) and one for trance (donald glaude, chris liberator, blech). i skipped out at 45 min of pendulums set, and i heard that he spun for 2 hours, and ended with dubstep. too bad i missed that. otherwise, Icey and Reid Speed were the highlights. Also, the hardcore barn. WOW. i have never seen hardcore done so properly. just an aluminum barn with a concrete floor, a massive system, and a string of LEDs. It was so loud that you could hear the building shaking from the entire campsite. stepping inside was to be overwhelmed, and it made so much sense that they used the building as a speaker. i was in awe.
Someone, preferably from Canadia, please tell me that i just went to a bigass raver fest, and i shouldve expected to hear only trance, and that in the cities (toronto, etc) its not all crap.... please?
