I'm def going.

Its gonna be really good...The UK needs a festival repping this sort of sound.

This is gonna be filling in the hole left when dedbeat stopped their legendary festivals at the same venue.

I know the Baselogic guys that are arranging the event. They got to be commended for all the hard work they are putting in!!

Full line up soon come.

I think they have sorted it so tickets can be bought in 2 installments which is fuckin safe if you ask me!

there's not much sun yarmouth way that time of year. I went to one of the dedbeats there and it was fucking freezing, spent a fortune on electricity cards to keep the heaters running 24 hrs and it was still freezing.

Wooooah.

What a line up. Too much good stuff. Will probably be a case of running around like a headless rubber chicken as I did at the Autechre ATP.

Iration Steppas in full effect. Not to mention TTC of course, their debut still ranks as one of the best hip hop LPs in recent years.

Plastician will be fine too, if his Waaior Dubz set was anything to go by.

Bring forth the guillotine!

Yeh March ain't the warmest of months!

The last dedbeat i went to it was pretty cold but it was sunny enough on the Saturday to still frazzle a couple of my mates that passed out for a few hours.

I hardly spent any time in my chalet. It was 24/7 carnage from start to finish...Woke up on the beach on one occasion.

I'm looking forward to more of the same at the bloc weekender! :D

definately going.... Baselogic are a good bunch. Full support on this.

funny that someone mentioned the ATP thing a few minutes ago, but this one's more worth the money, music-wise
