Will always be the essential speed garage tune. Still works today. Tops off!

alistair remember Pete Tong playing Double 99 - Freakazoid live from Cream on BBC1 of all places. That June Sarpong was co-presenting with Pete - absolutely dreadful!
Funnily enough AVH was on it too…
Proper cringe!

Dropped the 2006 version to close a house & techno event. I bought it a year ago thinking I’d never get a chance to use it but the original was a good track from my high school years. Nearly bottled it, glad I didn’t. Bananas is the word
His finest hour!

Dan Nah, his finest was Gandhi Khan. That Danny Howells re-edit is ace.

To those that went, what was the Soundgarden area like? Atmosphere looks good on clips. More women too by the looks of it
I did like that clip of the security dancing to Bizarre love triangle.
Yep, there was plenty where I was, all too young for a mad bastard like me, but they were pretty flirty, which was good fun.
Come to think, there was a girl at the last Bedrock, who gave me a line of coke and showed me her tits, not long after security threw her out, I’m not sure why though.
Dry-Tinder and showed me her tits
she was there with Ed and Grant?

Soundgarden stage made life difficult. It had a good lineup in the prog/melodic house scene and plenty stayed there but clearly the bigger headliners were all piled into the outdoor stage.
Herein lies the rub.
Because Soundgarden had a ceiling and walls, the sound hit you better - [15 points]
It was able to be decorated and have DMX lights above you plus a range of ‘garden’ decor like you expect from SG [10 points]
They also reinforced more funktion 1s to near the ‘open exit’ where there was a spillout terrace creating an entirely different outdoor club feel with the sun on you - yet you could clearly see ‘inside the club’ - i’d never seen a layout like this before and sometimes we stood quite far back with the sound crystal clear. [12 points]
At the outdoor exit / terrace they also had higher up stages where people were standing and dancing on (no barriers). I was thinking surely security is going to ask them to get down but many were literally still there 5 hours later - I like this type of freedom / relaxedness about a club and having people surrounding you all up for it just added to the vibe [20 points]
I can’t be 100% but I hope that place IS actually a standalone venue and they built the rest of the festival - I’d love to go back just to that.
@Smallman1 that tune is the Extended Remix of Ashee - Poison. Not the 2 minute long one.

Can you explain the scoring system please Nass?
You have scored the event at 57 points, but not explained what the maximum points total is. Nor have you explained the criteria, and potentially sub-criteria for each item.
I’m only asking as this is going to freak Hugo OUT!
Ah mate I left this there for him. Ruiner
NasserAlazzawi yeah, room looked well decked out and you notice the sound quality in the clips.
Dry-Tinder I see you met my ex

You absolute legend!
One annoying aspect was the complete melons who weren’t moving a muscle to the music but made there way to the front, what is all that about?
Very strange
Hursty Ket crew

Fell out the bottom of her crop top

Did you type all those notes on the venue from your laptop fixed to your body tethered to 5G?!

She didn’t have ginger hair by any chance?
NasserAlazzawi the sound garden room was used as a stand alone venue last year but without the stages out the back

Think the clue is in the words Space and Terrace Matty!
I think that she got clocked by security and was trying to make it look like she had stashed her drugs down her bra while actually hiding them somewhere else. I didn’t ask as I was mullered and she got kicked out. I just found it entertaining.
I can’t remember, she may have been.
