Earlier this month I had the honour of playing at Boom Festival, which has been pretty much my dream ever since I was into psychedelic trance.
I got some good footage of the party and of my set (altho its a bit dark, and some places ive had to level the hell out of the video so its a bit dodge but still good).
My set went well! I kicked off one of the nights starting at 9:30pm with about 30 people on the dancefloor. By the end of my set the floor was packed shoulder to shoulder, and I was told the capacity is about 10 to 11,000 people so its the biggest and most responsive crowd I've played too.
I think my music was quite different to the general style there, which I blame on living on a small island/country away from the rest of the scene hehe.
I turned up at the airport (airfaires were paid well before hand), got picked up striaght away, driven in an air conditioned car to the festival where I had a tent with bed and sleeping gear set up for me. The tent even had a huge peice of canvas over it to stop the sun hitting it so I could sleep during the day!
The fed me and kept me drunk (for 9 days) and just absolutley made me feel wounderful. The artists even had thier own private beach/lake! floating around all day on lilos talking audio production with the best trance/progressive artists in the world!! YEAAHAR.
This is the perfect festival in my opinion. Everything was thought out and went without a hitch, ill be back in 2008 regardless if I play or not. The only thing that made me go WTF was the amount of fake live acts, but all thier tunes were awsome so I didn't care and danced my ass off anyway.
Anyway, the video is below. Its general festival stuff until about half way through when it kicks into my set. Theres a bit of techy stuff to gawk at, including some screen captures of my ableton setup, and some busy tech work on the Pad Kontrol, so hang in there :p
