first of all organiztation was a mess, but at least we got to see some really wonderful acts *friday favourites: -t.raumschmiere: crazy as ever (was mostly playing stuff from his new album, which is really nice, btw), went all mad when they didnt let him play louder, threw oxygen 8 (i think)into crowd (it wasnt his, so the guy in charge for equipment jumped into crowd as well, to get it back), raumschmiere refused/was forbiden to continue... -leo anibaldi, some cool drum n bass, sounded really "raw" -hellfish, my favourite of the night (he came in as a replacement for mike paradinas, i was really pleased about this as i never seen him before, playing mostly his stuff, wicked... *saturday: this is when the big confusion began-apperantly half of italy went out of electricity, so they had to cancel last 4 acts (PLAID, LORY D, THE BUG and VENETIAN SNARES) so that day was finished at 4 am already cos of this, no need to say its not that easy to check in a hotel in rome when the whole town is out of electricity there were some nice acts before the electricity trouble though: -mum, i liked them quite a lot, but the sound wasnt that cool as i think they were having some troubles with equipment...they were playing, well, their music :) -boom bip, a big disapointment, he was playing guitar?? with a drummer and bass player suporting him...weird -lots of others, nothing memorable though -RICHARD DEVINE: my favourite perhaps, i have no idea what that was, totaly crazy beats, mental stuff, and he was getting kind of wild as well hehe -the set by francisco and passarani was also likable *sunday great surprise, as some main acts were cancelled on saturday cos of trouble with electricity, they rescheduled them for sunday!!! except plaid...nothing to bad as i dont like their music that much my favourite acts on sunday: -d'archangelo, really crazy stuff, wicked beats and some cool melodies, wonderful to make you wild...i was surprised to hear music like this from him, as he's kind of soft on his records, |

second part... great surprise -gescom, just one guy, having a half our dj set?? of pretty lame music (to me at least), but at least he came to play (im pretty sure promoter had many problems with dealing with artists as well, it was a really lame organization...) -LORY D, amazing stuff, i was listening to him last year, but he was then promoting his last album (which is great, btw), but this time he was playing music i would definitely want to see it released...almost techno at times, with quite some improvisation involved, also lots of great hard beats, seemed like he really knows how to do a perfect show-not just musically speaking...unforgetable! the bug- was cool, the loudest guy on this festival, mc was there as well, but the music was so loud, we could hardly hear mc at all, but bug didnt seem to mind that, he was just doing his stuff (btw, aperantly aaron funk is quite a fan) -aperantly lots of people came to see jungle brothers, but i think many of you would agree they're shit -venetian snares: my first time seeing him, impressive stuff, looks really handy with his equipment, playing fucked up stuff as always...there were like 50 people left at the end...i dont remember i ever needed any break when i was enjoing some music, but this time i was taking a 2 minute break each 10 minutes, just way to hardcore to be able to follow, especially after 3 days of getting wild to so many other acts, and they put snares to close up the festival (on sunday at 5.30 am?), well he was scheduled for saturday first, but it ended up like this...anyway im totally impressed with his skill (the music part its not that important in his act at all imo, he's just there to bring the place down)...he had some troubles with his equipment (nothing new to the promoter), so there was a hlf hour break in between his act, but at least people were able to renew some energy :) looking forward to his future gigs (especially when/if he gets into the music part some more). i think i'll go to sleep now, as i havent slept for 35 h |

btw, imagine people that flew to rome just for saturday lineup, there were, i'd say about twice as much people there on saturday as there were on sunday, and they all missed the main acts of that night...they pick one weekend in year and the electricity goes out on a day like this... btw, i missed whole day at work today, so thats not a good thing, but i went to rome mainly to see snares so... i guess there must have been someone else there from xltronic (beside sepix) as there were lots of uk people there |

keyfumbler, where you there? (i saw a guy looking a bit like your avatar) |

sepix, were you there? what are your impressions? |
||||||||
|
|

| |||||||||
|
|
plaid and mu-ziq didn't play? i would've asked for a partial refund, especially since people on sunday's lineup were probably bumped to make room for the others.. btw what did you expect from boom bip? have you heard his album? i'd like to see richard devine live because he says he tests his craziest tracks in front of an audience.. the jungle brothers were once THE shit (not shit) but they're a nostalgia act now.. i'm not sure how they get onto so many great festivals |
||||||||
|
|

|

actually sunday original lineup was meant to finish at 1.30 am, so they put the acts that were cancelled on saturday to polay the last on sunday and it was like until 5.30 am, and the people that bought ticket for the saturday could enter on sunday after midnight for free i was kind of tired on sunday, so i really didnt mind plaid were not playing as im not a big fan (i'd rather see them instead of jungle brothers tho) also i was pleased to see hellfish jump in instead of paradinas as i saw him earlier this year, but i never saw hellfish before but, we were lucky things turned out as they did, because everything seemed to go wrong |

i was got a jetlag arrived about 2 hours ago the last 7 days have been SO wicked i`ll need another vacation ... too bad the pusher doesn`t play next friday at dissonanze *g why didn`t you tell me you go there ? we could have met ?! however i`m going to bed now more news soon *there are quite interesting recordings too but before beeing confirmed nothing will get online ;) |
||||||||
|
|

| |||||||||
|
|
about jungle brothers... i guess they're invited to attract more people i was quite shocked to see all those people enjoying that shit (i only peeked in cos i cant stand that music) then cool acts came on, but many people left...which was cool in a way (more room for hardcore fans) |

i found out i was going on thursday night, actually it was more of a friday morning...when we talked i was 100 % sure i wont go...im glad i went tho and looking forward to those recordings :) |

what crowd? he made almost all people leave :) |

and about bim boop, i had this feeling it was way more electronic music, not sure why and i now have two of his albums (i recived one from warp for free - how about that haha) i prefer the one he did with doseone tho |

[i was there with tolstoyed] sepix i remember seeing a guy that looked alot like your avatar. where exactly were you while snares was playing? i found out someone from watmm was there too :> his nickname on watmm is e-soh-coh-reh. i think hes from rome. anyhow, the entire weekend was really really great. i too was there mostly for snares, but also enjoyed lots of other acts. richard devine really managed to impress me. him and snares were my favorites. |

my actual avatar isn`t me, there will be photos up soon on my site. i was in the middle wearing a sonicterror shirt ... the festival was very italian, chaotic and strange organized - no big deal for me i`ve been to festivals in italy before. the first night was fun cause we found out µ-ziq canceled - his son got ill and he couldn`t play - instead hellfish was showing up wich was wicked because he was canceled when the lineup was shortened. didn`t care very much about the first acts but hellfish was fun - made us dancing and shouting =) still after about 30 minutes the volume seemed to be turned down and he looked a bit bored - maybe not enough people for him the second day was very weird - like the day before every act started 1, 2 hours late ... after richard devine plaid should have appeared - after a huge rain shower power was suddenly gone ... we waited about 2 hours or something until it was clear that there`s a local power loss and the evening will be canceled. very very cool was late afternoon - some beatboxing guy and 2 dj comrades did a fucking superb live show. i saw some beatboxing allready but this guy, a member from 3fx, was absolutely incredible. just said "dj set" and scratched himself on 2 "air turntables" - you really could watch his hands doing a dj job in the air while he did the complete thing with just his mouth and a mic - near to the end it got even weirder when he played m.jackson tracks and sang to them at the same time :P day 3 - some friends of us, map and siouxsie checked out the place and found out everything should continue from 4pm ... we arrived at about 7 and nothing was happening until 11pm or something ... at the office we heared plaid will play to 95% - until midnight it was clear they canceled. there was some fun going on in the hall but again i missed the groups before snares ... the music at the beginning and the volume had been perfect - after the moment i lost my glasses in the crowd everything went worse. the mixer had been fucked and aaron lost his tem |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
per ... 3 , 4 italian guys tried to fix the mixer ... aaron tried to continue ... nothing. after putting up a cd and changing the mixer it was continued but not for very long. still the short time music was played i absolutely went mental - he does good mixing and the new tracks are superb =) i am not sure how to feel about the whole thing maybe it has been just far too much positive and negative emotions at the same time ;) |
||||||||
|

"but again i missed the groups before snares" tell me you didnt miss lory d and the bug! especially lory d, one of my favourite acts... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
lory d was the one who builded up tracks very slowly right ? that was ok but everything he did just took too long. i missed the bug too, yes. saw the last 10 minutes or something wich where very impressing. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
could be you think of the right one to make sure...he was the one when the place was really dark and he had some glasses (spacey looking...could be night vision glasses) the start and the end of his set was the same tune, but in the middle there was pretty harsh stuff and nice pics! |
||||||||
|
|

strange holidays and strange festival actually that fits exactly to everything which happened the last week well i was quite dissapointed that plaid and mu-ziq were cancelled. at least snares was playing a nice set allthough those technical troubles were sort of annoying. those pics arent as good as i expected them to be. but it wasnt my camera so i dont really know what went wrong. |

yeah we are talking about the same person no big deal topov, the pics are ok there are others and a video over at watmm and hopefully on our site soon |

What a weekend... Considering how many of the acts I was just dying to see were actually cancelled, it still turned out to be great. Highpoints were definitely Richard Devine, The Bug, Hellfish and Snares, really good sets by Legowelt, Tim Wright, Debasser (who we had a fun time hangin' with, good bloke, that), Thomas Raumschmiere...D'arcangelo were fun, Gescom was kinda average (who was that guy anyway, and why not Sean & Rob?), Anibaldi & Passarani were good, Lory D I had been wanting to see for like a decade and was bored stiff... Really surprising was Sage Francis who is one hell of an MC and a clever dude as well...really varied, intelligent and wholly original stuff he did outside. Strek was a discovery as well, also played some fucked up IDM drillnbass outside. Plaid cancelling really broke my heart, µ-ziq as well, then again, so did the fact that UR cancelled previously, as did Ceephax and numerous other I had wanted to see. Had a good bouncy time with the Quannum crew, Lateef is just one of the best, no doubt no doubt... And the Jungle Brothers...well...I just went for it. THE embarassment was Andy Fletcher, who played a lazy CD set with all bootleg mashup craparoo and commercial breakbeats and electro, right after Devine Iif I recall correctly. Bad programming, for sure. The blackout messed me up big time, wandering home all sweaty and drunk in the pouring rain gave me a massive throat infection which I decided to ignore the next day, making it even worse. Managed to completely obliterate myself on Sunday, and am still recovering. kid 606 tonight, and the beat goes off.... As for Snares...I couldn't help to think that he was acting like a second rate Diva. Sho nuff, having your mixer fucked is a terrible thing, but making it more about yourself than about the audience just plain sucks, especially since the 70+ people who were still there were ONLY there to see HIM. He's been performing for years now, and simply communicating to the audience what's going on would have solved the |

batesman - yes it is true - he could have acted like nothing happened still, i met him before and we talked a bit - he would have prefered to play the night before and was a bit tired as well but he really wanted to play and also asked me what i wanna hear - the fucked equipement just ruined his mood - i`m dj`ing myelf and know the situation - you try to make the best but at some point you just don`t care anymore - 4, 5 guys fixing technics don`t help either - wether you play it or not so from my side i was nearly in tears when he just stopped but am happy that he tried to continue as long as well - wich made me dancing like nails 8) |

alright lads, well the ghostdog and 4 mates made the trip from the british isles expected some drugged up debauchery in the classic dedbeat style but were more than a little dissapointed. One dealer who, admittedly, had some quality MDMA for 3 of us on friday but utterly bogus "love" pills the other nights simply wasnt enough leaving us to satisfy ourselves with drink the most time. Except you had to buy a fucking ticket before you got your ¤3 half pint and with only 1 guy selling em it became almost farcical. A mate of mine was fucking livid calling the organisation a shower of shite before asking how many weeks in advance you had to book your beer on the internet before you got served. At least the ¤5 shots were more like 6 shots so they kept our spiriits up for a while before the browney white stuff kicked in. Music was all OK on friday night until Hellfish who fuckin rocked our socks off like a bad un. Saturday, well we didnt arrive till 230 cos we were hitting the town on the "white night", we came to half an hour of silence cos the organisers couldnt pull their fingers out. Finally Devine came on and was actually fucking good but then the lights went out and that was that. My mate, the only geezer in the joint to get something out of them "love" pills - was a fucking motormouth tho chattin to every hot (non hairy hippy) bird (ie one) and then everyone else. He went up to this bloke that organised it and said "Are you the guy running the PITS festival" upon which the guy almost bropke into tears saying "Ive spent the past nine months of my life organising this only for it to fall apart and I dont need your cheeky fucking attitude", afterwards my mate went running round the nearby blacked out train station screaming "the black night is the best night ever!!" so at least someone had the craic. Sunday I dont remember too much as I drank a litre of vodka and got completely fucked spending most of the night going up to everyone saying "ou est la pasta" (pasta=pills in italian) to no avail. Eve |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Even the organisers wouldnt give me any. Finally regained consciousness to see snares who was the don. So all in all no fucking dedbeat and a bit of shambles, even on sunday there were like 1/2 hour gaps of silence between sets. I let this be known to the organiser on friday night and she basically said, yeah I know its shit but its all the mafias fault. Apparently they had some kick-ass original venue sorted but the mafia objected to some english cunts moving in on their scene so they had a bit of a barney and, hey presto, a crappy small jazz club with 1 beer server instead. Hmmm, is seriosuly making me reconsider ever going to debeat again (have been 2 out of 3 times). Italian (non-bitz) chicks are fucking hot tho...... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
"ou est la pasta" haha, did you ever consider asking that in italian :) but i agree, they should sell that stuff along with the drinks...i had no idea about the mafia :), seemed more like not enough interest for something bigger |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
thats what I said to her "yeah right the mafia, you just fucked up the numbers" but she insisted that wasnt the case and, come to think of it saturday was pretty packed, and the jazz club was in a really shitty area too. Very nice bird (remembered her from dedbeat) even sorted me out with the MDMA too ;) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|

they'll know for next time where to put it...i mean they were constantly turning the volume down cos aperantly someone had problems with loud music and they were sending police (at least that's what some were saying). a festival (of electronic music) just doesnt fit into residential area, at least not the night part...they were saying something about having a bigger event some time april or so and it'd be great if they sort it out by then, cos i'd definitely go again, ofcourse if the lineup is going to be at least as great as this one. it was pretty hardcore music lineup, no easy listening stuff (except for mum, boom bip and some others) which is my cup of tea... |
