FUTURE MUSIC FESTIVAL March 12 - Forums

2006 3D awards

BEST FESTIVAL

Future Music Festival
What exactly made this so special? The line-up for one, featuring a host of artists who’d been too long between visits. A venue with unique stages run by Sydney’s best party crews and, yes, clean toilets. A clear, balmy day at the tail end of summer. Room to move. Basically, the way a festival should be.


PROMOTERS OF THE YEAR

Future Entertainment
They blindsided everyone by securing Sasha and Digweed, but the superstar duo wasn’t Future’s only prize. Two Tribes blitzed Melbourne, while Future Music Festival was the best all-dayer Sydney saw. Elsewhere, the tours were too numerous to list. Let’s just say we’re in good hands for 2007.

oh well, TV Rock will save the day.

does any one know who won the 'dj' 'battle' before the 20/20
kriket match the other night?

jules or the other dude?

i'm just dyyying to know..

HAHAH Judge Jules vs Grant Smilie aka tv rock aka tool

That would've been aweosme to see....


Two tribes finished, I cant imagine future ever going bust... not now they got that shiz goin at QBH as well now..

Still can't wait for this... Wink, Rex, Oliver Huntermann, Santiago..

It breaks my heart to say this, but i will miss this event. instead i'll be in malawi, central east africa, making a doco about third world poverty. spare a thought for me and the the starving in africa while you're all dancing wild.

That is a shame Dags. This is going to be a great show but I guess you are off on a good cause
I am sure we will all let you know how good it was.

Just got my tickets today as well.
Can't wait for March 12. Don't have to work until the following Thursday. This is going to be a massive day!

hey zeus,

big ups mate! hope adelaide's treating you well.

gravy

corn on the cob.

that was just ridiculous.


good day tho, Oliver Huntermann was awesome, shame about the lack of people there.
Josh Wink was great too, cept a little too much stupidity heheh

good: rex the dog, seb leger, ali b, oliver huntermann, having a table and chair setup infront of oliver huntermann but got asked 5 mins later to move it, josh wink by himself.

bad: the shower when i came home, mc battle which was happening during josh wink, drunk superstar dj's who think they own the world and able to do what they want.

overall, had a rad time, probably the best time ive had at a adelaide dance festival.

awesome show!! Joachim & Chris Lake

was a good venue for it...

leger started off really well... then he went all electro house...

someone tell rex the dog he doesnt have to play all his tracks so fast

only spotted 12 raver types yesterday... was great.

Huntermann and wink

and the women...

Sound like I didnt miss anything too special then. Would have loved to have gone but had no money and 4 consecutive mornings at mile high finished as the festival was getting started so going to bed sounded more attractive then walking to east tce. What sort of stuff did Josh Wink play?

Thought it was a really great day - absolutely perfect weather - great turnout and a good size space for that many people.

TV Rock were a great start to tha day - they are very consistent at getting a party started and it was good to see a great crowd.

My suprise of the day was DJ Falcon - he played what I would call a 'highlights of French House' set - eg plenty of Daft Punk and Solveig. Lots of mashed and acapellas.

Joachim Garraud was the main reason I attended and boy did he surpass my expectations - he is a brilliant musician - so many awesome samples played on that keytar! I went mental when he played bits of calabria! Took me right back to Axwell at Summadayze. That Bosco stage felt exactly like the Famous stage at Summadayze.
Tried to get into princess Superstar but it was just too dusty and I was coughing too much- if we are still on Level 3 restrictions could we please get some mats laid down or something?
All Princess Superstar seemed to do was scream out 'Perfect' over ever single song she was around - it was a bit one hit wonder for me.

Knew nothing about Nick warren but thought he was good -nice tough beats- driving prog house? I dunno.

Thought Fedde was pretty cool - he may have the most overplayed song in the world but he was still a class act. How frickin Packed will HQ be this Saturday night? Im steering well clear.

Tom Novy was a little random for my liking - once the sun went down I got cold so I stayed in the Soco tent to see Chris Lake - man it was dark and seedy in there! felt like it was 4am! Princess Superstar was whoring herself around the stages doing random MCing duties!

Went and saw some of ferry - then realised I don't really like trance.

Where were the palm size set time and map cards? Dont they do them at all future events? You printed about 20,000,000 flyers - couldn't you have done some set times and map? No-one knew which stage was which!
The security was some of the most relaxed and non-existent I have ever seen - ban on chewing gum? I took 3 packets in!

Is it true the Egg either didn't turn up or did some sort of B2B thing with DJ Kontrol? I thought they were a band?



Can't wait for next year - will be interested to see if they can use that space again if there were noise complaints from all the East terrace apartments dwellers, cos the sound was great. If they can't use it - maybe Bonython park???

I thought this show was absolutely wicked!!!! Best festival Adelaide has seen for a bloody long time in my opinion. How many people did they have through the gates? Some people were telling me 6000 when I was there. Is that true? Quite a few people turned up but was it really that many?

Sander Van Doorn was the best act for me for the day. Never seen him play before but spun some awesome trance. Was a shame about the sound difficulties that interrupted his set.

Can't wait for next year. Watch this space for the review.

The Egg was there. I believe they had trouble with the system on that stage so it was running 30mins behind. The Egg started at 3.30 and made alot of people leave but it was packed as soon as the first guitar riff of walking away was played!

yes, live band

winks set was pretty fuckin funny - was sitting down listening to it appealed to my drunk sensibilities

hunterman was rad!!

Huntermann was insanely good.


Wink was playin techno, tech house and a few house tracks.... very little acid tho which was a bit sad... still some awesome awesome shit in there... the mc'ing got a bit annoying tho... was funny the first few times.


And yeah The Egg was there, the crowd all came running back when they played Walking Away tho which was funny.


and zeus, the advertiser mentioned the attendance at 5k

dont know but i am

am i??? im not sure

It was an awesome day...hope we continue to get this sort of thing in the future!

I also had a wicked day

Highlights

Oliver Huntmann
Sebasiten Leger
Nick Warren
Josh Wink - not as good as i was hoping though but i did find all the carry on pretty funny at the time.
The Ladies
The weather

Lowlights

Getting too carried away at Nick Warren and not paying enough attention to the time resulting in me missing most of Rex The Dogs set.
It went too fast , before i knew it was all over.

anyone see the mignight juggernauts? they were gnarly at falls so just interested if they're consistently that good...

I agree it was an excellant day with great sound coming from the main stages...

for me Joachim Garraud,Oliver Huntemann (though pity he didn't have much crowd support as most were watching coxy) and Winx although he couldn't build the type of atmosphere he did in other states as one Felix da house Prat shat on any chance he had of making it one to remember....

Was also happy to hear three different Depeche Mode remixes.

He even mc'd over marshall jeffersons house music classic -move your body....insult!

Still hope its a taste of big things to come!

Hey guys!

For anyone that enjoyed FMF last weekend, just a reminder about this little webchat we've got going on with Ferry Corsten this afternoon...

Kicks off at 5pm! Would LOVE to see some of the FMF fanatics that inhabit this thread in the webchat asking questions.
