A couple of my mates from Cambridge played on that rig a few years ago. It looks a bit novel but is actually a really nice sounding rig. They normally use it as the main system at the Strawberry Fayre which happens in Cambridge once a year.
It wasnt painted up like that though - just wood and speakers. Looked a lot better when it had just been built..

Nice1, I once went to a rave in the woods that was so loud you literally couldnt get a way from the noise. mad intense, It would make my summer to have a fat outdoor party with some dubstep sounds!

I got fond memories of me playing in Wales with the sun coming up to the sound of dubstep. Bare bass rolling down the mountainside....nice.
Best outdoor party i played last year was a small gathering of 100+ people for a mates birthday. The rig was built into an offroad jeep so it could be taken to places that the police would initially have trouble reaching in vehicles. The party was about 1 mile away from Chequers (for the international people that is the Prime Ministers country residence). Safe to say we had the pigs down en masse and i was playing at the time. Apparently we pissed off Tony with all the noise. (personally i think this was bullshit and he wasnt even there but it was funny all the same)...
Best bit was the police let us carry on!! They seemed quite happy when we told them that no more people than the heads already there would be turning up. We were pretty respectful of that, wound the sounds up around 8 in the morn, tidied up and fucked off.
Gonna try and do it again this year!

i've played dubstep on some outdoor raves last summer
early in the morning when the sun rises, after whole night of breakcore and hardcore tekkno - it was great experience
