Stereosonic 2009

I must say this has been one of the best...no... the best Stereosonic i've been to.
Although i flew solo this time round - i really had a blast! The weather was sunny, the breeze was cool and the ladies were hot.

was simply amazing. From Elvis rock and roll to hardcore-techno to minimal to breakbeats. This bad-*** pulled all the stops. It felt like a moshpit at rave if you know what i'm sayin'.

But even in the middle of all the insane beats from this dood i was still eagerly waiting and constantly checking my clock for Bloody Beetroots!
But i waited and waited, DropTheLime went on for freaking two hours and still NO Beetroots! And to make matters worst Surkin pops up (which he was suppose to come AFTER the BLOODY Beetroots!!!) Couldn't wait there any longer as i wanted to go to the other tent. FREAKING HELL and i found out later from some drunk angry reveller that organizers moved  the Bloody Beetroots to the main tent and that's why DropTheLime had the longest set in the whole festival.........I could shoot myself now. Buttttt it wasn't all that bad......


"PUT YOUR HANDS UP FOR DETROIT!
I LOVE THIS CITY!"
That's right Fedde le GRAND was up next! Man, when those lyrics get blasted the whole crowd just went berserk. It was 10 on the Richter scale. Although i missed the djs i was totally looking forward to, Fedde made it all better again.




After jumping for a whole good set. The stage crew brought up this gigantic heart

You knew it was beating for Axwell.I haven't heard any of his produced music before. But i've been to his DJ sets. And it has always been phenomena. This guy is just a real crowd pleaser. And when he played "Sweet Disposition" by the Temper Traps it was spectacular. Man, Temper Trap is awesome but Axwell made it godlike.


And what better way to end the night. Ghost and stuff? DeadMau5! I can't remember when was the first time i heard him. But he got me back into techno. I mean when you hear about techno, you'd think they sound all the same doofdoofootzootz. But man DeadMau5, HE IS TECHNO! although i wasn't into the whole vocals on "Ghost and Stuff" but he didn't dissappoint. He had an aussie Mau5 head! lol
At one time he played this really slow, extacy, melody. And some shirtless fool next to me was like "Omg he's putting me to sleep". I wanted to smack him in the head. But me being the little asian and him being the big islander guy....i decided to just enjoy the music and let sleeping kiwis lie.


All in all it was a good day.
