Future Music Festival 2011 :: Monday 14 March

I dont remember seeing E DC on this years bill to start off with?

his cube 3d flashy zap thing set was pretty shit in 09. Kleinenberg should have kicked him off that second story pod

Saw the Plastikman performance in Sydney last night it's f-ing awesome!

If you're going to see it, make sure you also download the Plastikman Synk app for iPhone before you go.

Just before his performance starts, connect to the PLASTIKMAN Wi-Fi signal, and start the app, wait and enjoy.

You'll see a real time track-list with BPM counter, and time code mostly, but it also does some other cool stuff during the show. My girlfriend has an iPhone 4 and it was in perfect sync with the show, my iPhone 3 lagged a little bit.

I saw 'Kamera' pop up a few times, but couldn't get it to load, apparently it's a live video stream of Richie on stage using his gear during the show.

Here are he details on the components of Plastikman SYNK:

LOGIKAL

Based upon earlier “Lodgikal Nonsense” and “Vokx” voice tracks, this state invites the audience to re-organize the word samples using a user interface of 20 touch buttons. In this state the centre of performance control is moved from the stage and into the audience.

KAMERA

This state is accessible throughout the show and gives users a live video stream of an internal perspective of the performance.

SYNKOTIK

This state explores the synkronicity of realtime-generated percussion patterns and their visual counterparts, integrating the stage LED wall and the built in displays on each SYNK activated iPhone/iPod Touch.

KONSOLE

This state is active during the entire show with realtime performance information. At specific moments an extended Konsole state becomes activated, allowing further insight into the realtime programming of the performance’s drum and percussive elements, while also providing visual feedback of musical and effect parameters. A simplified remote Konsole is available to all SYNK users worldwide and will be activated during all Plastikman Live performances.

Participants should connect to the Plastikman Wi-Fi network at each peformance and will be notified of the activation of the different states by their iPhone/iPod Touch at specific moments during the show.

The SYNK experience will not be limited to viewers of the live show. In between the performances the SYNK application will be in sleeper mode and function as a Plastikman atmospheric location shifter. By using visualizations inspired by Derivative, combined with the iPhone’s built-in microphone and accelerometer, users are immersed in a Plastikman environment. For best results, please use headphones.

Compatible with iPhone or iPod touch, SYNK requires iPhone OS 3.0 or later.

BAM m*thaf*ckers! how was the radness! Sooooooooo many people. Tonnes of good sets. Unfathomable amounts of side boob.

Had the best day out I've had in a very long time!!!

^ Not on camera but certainly burnt into my brain

MY futures experience:
I watched Chemical Brothers from the outside, then I tried jumping the fence (failed) then I got let in by a nice security guard (with 45minutes left before 10pm) then I danced my *** off to the Subs. Then I drank vodka straight from the bottle which was passed out to the crowd by the Subs.
Missed Cosmic Gate (devo) but still very good

Anyone get to afterparty at Sugar? Any special guests eventuate?

Anyone else got any news? Seems very quiet for 2 days after the biggest dance music event Adelaide has ever seen!

I went to Sugar for a bit HMC was rocking it.
Been quite as everyone is still getting over all of the flurotards.

Never seen so many gurners in one place.... plenty of overdoses.

What the fuck was the point of the area behind the foam stage? One 'secret' bar and that was it? It was where the silent disco was last year.

Cosmic Gate were epic. Presets were shit. Mark Ronson was quality.

How were the Chems compared to 08? How was SVD or Plastikman?

How were the Chems compared to 08? How was SVD or Plastikman?

I only caught the first 30 mins of the chems (wanted to see richie) and they were pretty awesome, found it really hard to drag myself away. Richie was brilliant, was an audio-visual feast! You'd almost call it performance art, the visuals and music was so tightly integrated. Something fucked up though and there was no sound for about 5 mins but he made up for it. Loved the comments from the crowd... "I heard he was minimal but this is ridiculous".

Otherwise I didn't mind the presets (some different arrangements), mark ronson was good (lost me a bit towards the end). Pendulum meh, was on one of the small stages for some reason and insanely overcrowded. Loco Dice and Sven were good from the bits and pieces I caught.

Some of the crowd was a bit fighty, but good day overall.

started with loco dice quite liked his late night sound def not loud enough - seemed to turn it up towards the end tho.(sound CLASH BIG TIME) Leftfield were the highlight of the day finishing up in the crowd for most of Sven who was better than last year.sander and cosmic gate were also up for it big crowd big day shite stage set up....

fuck i missed timmy any1

Great day for sure. Cosmic Gate, SVD, Sven Vath :D
