this festival took place last weekend in Co. laois in Ireland
Skream headlined the foggy notions tent on Sunday night
his set was unbelievable
did any of ye peeps have the pleasure of being at this gig?
The Electric Picnic
It could of been louder. I was dragging my mates around the dancefloor (sorry skankers) looking for the sweetest bass spot. My favourite track from the whole weekend* was him dropping the Klaxons remix, it just put a huge smile on my addled head. Excellent set from Skream totally bumped him up my list of favourite Dj's. Convinced my Girlleen to make a pilgrimage to DMZ or FWD with me too. (Looking for the sweetest date possible for this, if i can can grab Skream and Loefah on the same bill I'll swim over)
(*I also loved Electrolane, Sonic Youth, Iggy, Jesus and Mary Chain, The fall, Serena Marrish and they all could of been louder too. I like my ears but it wasn't as loud as other festivals. Lot of drug busts too, people outside tents skining up. Like shooting ducks in a barrel for the DS bastards)

Ya, that was a feature of the whole festival - low volume. Quality of the sound was good but way too low for my liking, moreover for someone like Skream where bass is all-imporatant. Not half enough speakers in the tents.
Not really gone on that Klaxons tune - reminds me of Oakenfold/Trance, which is a bad thing IMO.
Didn't have any run-ins with the law myself, but just thought their strong presence was a waste - what did they achieve like??? Fuck all. Go back to inner city Dublin n' sort out the heroin problem.
Thought the security were a bunch of fucking stnuc though
Skream was great though, in all fairness.

They got their arrest quota's to keep the Powers happy. I only realised recently that the festival organisers have to PAY the cops to be there, how fucked is that. That Klaxons remix is a total guilty pleasure. Reminds me of being a teenager even though if you asked me back then i would of told you i hated it. I'm thinking of giving the E P a miss next year and taking myself to the Dour festival in Belgium, cheaper and no chance of a cop ruining your weekend/life.

LOL@ "guilty pleasure".........know what you mean man; it's growing on me as we speak.
They have to pay them to be there, ya?? First I've heard of that.....sounds a bit strange, but nothing really surprises me in this fucking country anymore. Their presence there, for the most part, is futile IMO.
Bunch of pricks alright, but I had more of a problem with the security and the whole organisation of the thing TBH.
