Reviews - Winter Sound System 2009

Aaah, winter in Melbourne. That feeling of ice against skin as you step on the floor getting out of the bed in the morning. The sensation of walking into a bathroom full of fog and steam after the hot water tap has been on for 4 seconds. That hot coffee becoming ice coffee after 4 sips. What better time to bring back the night festival!

Reviews - Future Music Festival Adelaide 2009

I won’t lie, I entered Future Music Festival this year with some reservations. 12 months on from the 2008 edition and I still hadn’t been able to shake memories of fake tan and fluoro melting in the 40 degree heat. So it was with little expectations (other than to seduce Pharrell Williams of N.E.R.D) that I ventured to the Garden of Unearthly Delights on Monday. Once I’d finally navigated my way into the venue, which since last year has doubled in size, I took my self straight to the Future stage to catch the first big act of the day, CSS. Sick and tired of being sexy Lovefoxxx was wearing her usual outrageous attire, sporting a hideous floral jumpsuit/cape combo. The Brazilian electroclash band got the crowd shuffling, receiving a strong reaction to their more popular songs including Let’s Make Love And Listen To Death From Above and Left Behind.

Reviews - Future Music Festival Sydney 2009

To get the most from your Festival Experience, you need to go prepared. Future Music Festival is a city that springs from the ground once a year at the wonderful surrounds of Royal Randwick Racecourse. Forget Lonely Planet – with so much on offer and so little time, here at ITM we felt it best to present you with a step-by-step guide to what’s possible, what’s essential and what to avoid in this unique place. So lace up your boots, don your best designer singlet and pack your glowsticks (actually, on second thoughts, don’t pack your glowsticks).

Reviews - Summadayze Melbourne 2009

Summadayze rolled around again for another year, and the weather couldn’t decide what the hell was going on. Rain, sun and blue skies, cloud and then rain again – we got it all, all within the space of one minute. Unfazed by this, revellers arrived dressed in cut-off denim shorts, dayglo hats, canvas loafers, sunnies and Ed Hardy tank tops. Punters wanted a hot day, even if the weather didn’t want to oblige. On my arrival at 12pm there was a clear police presence as I saw several sniffer dogs around the venue, demonstrating clearly a show that they wanted neither any drugs or bad press.

Reviews - Future Music Festival Sydney 2008

Over the past few years, the Future Music Festival has transformed itself from its humble beginnings to an event of gargantuan proportions. While other festival events have sidelined some of the better known names in dance in search of ‘different directions’, Future Entertainment have done the direct opposite by assembling a bevy of the best DJs to ever grace the earth. This year’s offering featured seminal dance heroes The Chemical Brothers, who were ably supported by house legend Roger Sanchez, progressive house guru John Digweed and trance dancefloor destroyers Eddie Halliwell and Markus Schulz; all coming together within the fabled bounds of Sydney’s biggest racecourse. With tens of thousands of tickets sold, the summer weather returning for just one day and a party populace that was ready to rock, last weekend’s festival contained all the ingredients to deliver a day for the ages.
