The fitting words of a Cut Copy jam lay out the post reflection (whether any sleep occurred or not) on what truly was a massive Future Music Festival 2011 (SYD)!!! As some sceptics may have criticised the logistics of the event prior to yesterday - namely the amount of stages and the usual snares and clashes of the set-times - they were all silenced, turned or beheaded by what the day turned out to be.... showing the potential that 'hype' can have, but is often not witnessed on the sporadic and wavering sydney club and music scene!!
The Good's:
--> the weather pulling together
--> turnout of people in relation to space/layout etc
and the overall vibe of the crowd/artist's and event!!
The Grouse:
--> to see presets can still jam and mix up a two year old set (new stuff on the horizon for mid to later this year)
--> the man who always delivers on his continual world tours (not sure does he stop?)... anyway the coolest asian since Confucius, absolute entertainer and head of DIM MAK Records - Steve A fucking oki.
--> The Chemical Brother's closing and incredibly impressive set, a big fan came back a bigger one - and much of this credit much go to the visual show which cannot be payed homage by dodgy youtube recordings or pictures.... so so f'ing rad!!
The Dirty Minga's:
-->a 400 dollar alcohol consumption on public transport fine
--> being the only one to notice that within the reworked and tweaked Preset's set... they used the instrumental and almost verbally performed Tom Middleton's remix of their track 'If I Know You'
The songs below encapsulate a great day for me and hopefully others! i have chucked in a couple of ripe tracks as well for those who wish not to mull over missing out on what i believe topped Field Day & Big Day Out... and currently leads my favourite event, festival and general experience for 2011 - the munted expression's, ecstatic outburst's and childish grins from gates open to gates closed tell me many more will be agreeing!!
peace
nicK!!
