Ah, gone off Nature One tbh. Only thing worth going for now is the Tresor Bunker and I'm pretty sure you can get the same deal at Tresor itself. The circus tent has been a sucession of let downs the past couple of times I've been. Kind of spoilt tho' by the fact the first one I went to was the 10th birthday and they pretty much went all out for that one, definitely glad I never missed that :)

Haven't really seen any line ups at festivals which make me get excited. Just doesn't seem to be much raw Hard Techno being played anymore. Maybe I've just got more heavy and abstract in my music taste as I've got older :/

One thing I'd definitely love to see again is Justin Berkovi with his Yamaha RM1X setup, that is properly ****ed Techno :)

Oh and another dude that blew me away, but was on too early at Nature One imho, was Massimo from Cologne, the set was pretty much flawless.

Obviously like to see Robert Armani again, but I don't think that'll happen, seeing him in London was practically a miracle.

Probably many others to name, but meh, like I said, unlikely to see all of them in one place :(

No what you mean with the lack of raw techno and also with the century circus arena... to much minimal there!

Like Nature One for its campsite and the rigs.... good banter !

Theres a couple of proper good bunkers at Nature One aswell so a good bit to choose from but as you said its all about the Tresor Bunker

Think with European festivals its going to be minimal and schranz as your choice of music - not alot in between, maybe the likes of Dave Clarke and Ben Sims.....

Never done a festival last year and that was the first summer in 10 year that I never done nothing so defo want to get abroad for a bounce about this year

**qUE** · 17-02-2011, 08:30 PM

Yeah the campsite is great, but I can't help but feel something like that should exist in this country rather than me having to travel for it :(

Although then again, I can't see this country not having an authority which will bleed you of money and an attendance that will be as pleasently behaved as it is at Nature One :/

**ritaheed** · 17-02-2011, 09:50 PM

lol exactly mate, total different crowd and organisers over there....

too much stealing, fighting, ppl being diiiicks over in the UK, dont get me wrong there are planty of diiicks @ Nature One (bumped into a good few) but you just couldnt get away with taking in turntables, mixers etc not to mention wood and hammers etc to build a fence like they do over at Nature One - defo could'nt trust a Scottish crowd with hammers anyways...

Where you from qUE?

Well not actually from, but I live in Bristol, where there seems to be a lack of Techno atm. unknownsoundsystem are trying to run a campaign at the moment to bring it back because from what I remember the scene peatered out a few years after the millenium.

I'm slightly in two minds myself at the moment, not sure whether the Bristol scene is so welcoming to us doing our stuff again, plus finances are always tight so no hiring clubs for me, also seems to be a lack of places to play audio crazyness south of the river (where I live) :/
Oh well, can only keep looking and maybe start the ball rolling :)

I don't know if all of the artists are Irish but I know Christian Smith is playing there & some more artists going to be playing there which will listed on the line up soon

Monegros or Aquasella for me. The spanish appear to be the only ones good gunning for good techno still.

Did Nature One last year. Campsite was excellent, nothing like it out there but the music in the festival is pure dogturds. (bar the tresor bunker which was empty for most of the festival)

**BRADLEE** · 16-03-2011, 12:02 AM

Looks good even job Connor coming back out into the fields....

Never did Nature One last year, was the music really that bad??

The tresor bunker was crazy rammed both years I was there

Really enjoyed the century circus the first year i was there, Brixton and Space DJz (when they were playing jakn shizz) being the highlight. was basically made up of minimal and schranz apart from those 2

looking forward to monegros tho!!

might do awakenings..

just back from bloc as you already know Nils..

Personally must have fests with choice but nothing out there serves me properly so i must compromise. Some artists I love only seem to play at certain things which gets on my tits

I find the artists you want to see play in amongst everything else. Even when it's a small line up.

But then again it could be I'm being too specific :/

Did I really comprimise on taste in music in my youth? :S

**clubsynthetic** · 18-03-2011, 12:18 AM

i ahven't even mentioned any artists in this thread.

**teknorich** · 11-05-2011, 12:48 PM

Anyone going to a festival then?

I've been looking for lineups for Aquasella 2011, but can't find anything. The have announced about 5 artists on their website, tho is nothing special so far. Looking at previous years, one day is always better than the other, so I want to see the lineup and then will probs go to one of the two days, just can't book anything until i see the lineup, cos if I go on the friday and it's all Booka Shade and Crookers (

) then I find out that Dave Clarke played the saturday, I will not be impressed!

**teknorich** · 26-05-2011, 10:50 PM

Monegros Desert Festival
