just read your review mate... Nice one.
i wasn't there anyway as i've been poor the past year. i is back now and currently listening to Sepix's mixes - review-thread to follow. VSnares at Blitz sounds as crazy as his ATP03 show.
Was Ceephax there too?

it was nice, shame such things don't happen more often. i think ceephax was scheduled at first but they cancelled him later on, as well as some other...im pretty sure it was cuz of lack of interest - not enough tickets sold on pre-sale and such, not surprising tho as the whole thing was a mess regarding organization.
it was my only time seeing vsnares, so i was quite impressed, it wasn't the best act but certanly the most exhausting one :)
i loved what lory d played this time, one of best live performances i have ever seen, and the music was excellent, i certanly hope he will release some of it in the future. i was a bit surprised to hear that most italians came there mostly cuz of lory, cuz i heard him play before and it was alright but not near as great as this time...he's definitely one of the people i'll look forward to see again.
and i loved richard devine's act - he played several (mostly harsh ones) tunes from asect:dsect and other simmilar stuff, i loved it cuz i never heard anything just like that before...i only new "lipswitch" before and it wasn't really my thing, but the stuff he played here was excellent, and well asect dsect is one of my top 5 albums last year.
do you know if there are any similar festivals planned for this year already?

hmm,yes, squarepusher...when is he doing some european gigs???
it's a really sad electronica scene we have here in europe...the promotors always need to bring some big name otherwise there isn't any interest at all. not sure if even afx or pusher are enough these days. it looks to me like sonar is doing the right thing to some extend - they always schedule the most popular dj's in techno scene and they seem to attract the majority of people to get money to pay other less popular ones and to give this festival a less mainstream feel to it. it's really sad, and i was shocked to see so few people at bitz last year...there were like 30 people at the end of venetian snares!?!?
looks like i'll have to visit uk more often :)
