It’s amazing what one can accomplish when one chooses to not sleep.
Here are some videos from Ultrafest 2006. I’ve been meaning to put these up for months and months. You’ll just love how the little microphone on my camera has no clue what to do with all the bass that’s hitting it.
I can’t remember the name of this band, but the lead singer kept saying that one of their songs was on iTunes’ top 100. Apart from that, he sang a lot about how weed would solve all the world’s problems.
Eric Morillo, with cruise ship visible to the right. Ultrafest on a cruise ship would be pretty awesome.
Carl Cox dance tent. I didn’t want to put up the actual video of Carl Cox DJing. Anyone who has “Carl Cox” spinning on the display behind them while they DJ won’t get any space in my blog. Unless, of course, they have “PK” spinning on the display, then that’s cool.
Drum and Bass set.
Pendulum – look out for the dude wearing the flashing glasses, it’s sort of surreal as he walks past. I felt like shooting the MC with my mind bullets during the Pendulum set, he was annoying the fcuk out of me. Oh, the reason why I was so far back? My feet were hurting like hell from jumping up and down all day, so I decided to go barefoot for a while. Those of you who have seen people dancing to DnB know that your feet would not be safe even if they’re protected by steelcaps! The Prodigy cover that Pendulum ends on in this video leads into…
The real Prodigy! Awesome, awesome, awesome. We couldn’t get any closer though, no matter how much we tried. You might see some wafts of smoke in the foreground during this set. That’s not any special effect, that’s something that causes special effects. I swear I was passively getting high during this set.
Van de Graaff generator. Check out how something wrong starts to happen. I was waiting for it to explode, but you do get to see some little sparks fly off the shaft.
BT. This was such an awesome set, and was by far my favourite of Ultrafest 2006. Fan-bloody-tastic, BT!
