Deffo. Might miss a bit of Joe Nice and Chef i'd say. Thinking of turning up about 9-9.30 myself. I think these campers have got everyone on phat paras. The way were going about it just shows we all smoke toooo much guranga. haha!

Would be something else if you could not get in at 9. The thing opens at 9!

argh, double post

sooooooooooo jealous of the people that reached dmz tonite


next year, for sure...

Just got back home, still buzzing so wont be able to sleep for a while.

One word review: Siiiiiiiiiiiiiiick

left after digital mystikz set...had to, the heat and sweat just got way too much for me...one of the best nights of my life tho...


goth-trad duppied it...such a badman...and everyone else killed it....shame about the one deck business and all that tho...


also, i'm hearing skream and benga's set wasn't all that good?

how was youngsta's and kryptic minds set?


anyway, shout out to all the DMZ crew and happy birthday

Goth trad merked it, really wanna know the track ids. He's such a safe guy as well.
Not sure if one of the sets was coki but that set was maaadness!
Room 1 was unbearably hot though, can't believe the sweat actually caused technical difficulties
Big up DMZ and the DMZ crew - was alot.

Just got back, amazing night. The heat in Room 1 was too much though, was like walking into a wall of heat when you first went in there. Shame about the technicals too.

Every set was amazing as expected.

Room 2 was so good too. Zed Bias, Teeth and Moxie's set were so big.

Out to DMZ for putting on the night of the year. Massive big up.

Heavy night! I salute the two American's that came specifically for this! RESPECT.

Room 1 was fucking hoooot, as people have already mentioned the one deck business was a shame....didn't ruin the vibes though. Goth-trad was my favorite, fucking heavy set. The Skream and Benga set was disappointing, think I just expected something else....still though I ain't going to complain as they carried on with the vibes. Moxie was shit hot. James Blake and Kode9 was probably a close second to my favorite set of the night.

I only catched Distance and Tunnidge for the last half an hour, I got there around 8 so I was at the front of the que but once inside I still had to que for the cloakroom, took time!

Also.....can someone tell me when Youngsta and KM came on? I swear I was in room 1 for almost the whole night yet I can't remember them coming on? Haha and I wasn't even that pissed.

EDIT: Totally forgot about Loefah's set, was a biggie. I've also got like 40 minutes worth of footage lol I'll upload them soon.

Joe Nice and Chef for doing the business when we rocked up.


The queue was fucking crazy, think we were in there from about half 7 and by the time the doors open it'd already snaked round the entire park.

oh and before anyone forgets...james blakes remix of changes sounded

Got the full thing on my camcorder...IN GOOD QUALITY!

Just got home. Still haven't been to sleep.

I don't think anybody was camping. I wandered past about 6 and it was completely dead. Ended up queueing from about quarter past seven and being pretty much at the front. Saw everyone in room 1.

Great night, although it definitely tailed off, though largely through no fault of the DJs. A girl threw water from behind the decks during Youngsta/KM and it screwed up the sound, so they had to cut their set short and we didn't get to see any of Hatcha or N Type, which was disappointing. And it bears repeating, it was SO fucking hot. I think it must have been close to 45 degrees in there. Absolute wall of heat when you entered.

Ranked in order of preference:
Chef vs Joe Nice - absolutely spectacular
Goth-Trad vs VIVEK
Digital Mystikz
Youngsta and Kryptic Minds - would have been higher had it lasted longer. First time I've seen Youngsta live - it is quite something.
Distance & Tunnidge
James Blake vs Kode9 - Kode9 was good, but I was disappointed with James Blake. I suppose DJing isn't really his line of expertise, but he tried a couple of things (I'm looking at you, Ms Jackson/Love What Happened Here mashup) which just didn't work at all. There was one point where he did some weird sound manipulation and I started to get a bit trippy and hear distant noises, but I can't work out if that was the music or the heat.
Loefah - I've always liked Loefah, but never got a real emotional response from his music. I was hoping tonight would be the night, but I had to go and stand at the back for a bit to cool off, so probably didn't get much of a chance.
Skream & Benga

Going into more detail on Skream & Benga, I've seen them before and loved them. But it was an incredibly boring set. I'm not going to pontificate about how they're not being true to themselves or the spirit of DMZ, because I don't think either of those are helpful concepts for the progression of the scene, but it was very disappointing, given what they have at their disposal. It's weird as well, as soon as they busted out the 'stuff for which they've been criticised', the entire front of the crowd suddenly seemed full of bald steroid-pumping topless teenagers, gurning away. I hadn't seen any of them before all night. I'm sure that brand of dubstep just conjours them out of thin air. But either way, it definitely didn't fit. And nor did the dancier stuff they did for me. There was a new exclusive Skream dubplate that sounded like a late-90s Ibiza tune - horrible.

One of the teenagers apparently had some kind of Messianic complex and jumped on stage and started conducting the crowd. Wouldn't have minded so much, but he stayed up for Youngsta until he was eventually shouted at enough to get down and sort his life out.

Overall, pretty good vibe. Fair few tits flailing their arms about in tight spaces and taking the direct route to the front without considering anyone else, but that's standard club fare I suppose.

Certainly very glad I went.

When's the next DMZ ?
