An amazing night with phenomenal music, dancing, some fantastic glowpoi and flag spinning by Spunn – incredible friends and so much fun!! Absolutely incredible! I can't wait to do it all again!  😀

Hats off to Psymbolic for lighting the place up in fine style, and massive respect to Dan Efex, Derby and IS.

Derby — you was robbed, man, you was robbed!

So uh…were AP actually USING any of those synths, or just hitting “play” on their laptops?

I saw them touching their synths couple times …but actually wasn't paying attention 🙂

i had an absolute blast… It was a much different vibe than i usually get from that place…

Everyone i met was incredible, and a lot of familiar faces from other events… Wish i would have had more time to talk to ppl.

Not sure what AP was doing on stage, but i liked it a lot.  Definitely the best performance i have seen there since Deep Sky.

Init String was kick ass too, but i liked them better the last weekend at Geologic.

Derby, it was great talking to you.  See you tomorrow!

oh what a night! Init String string's set was amazing… love those live drums.

As far as AP's set, it had a lot of energy but i was bummed that they only
played tracks off TEN. Considering that the entire album was remixed by
newer artists, I cant understand why AP would choose to play only those.
As far as how you can play remixes as a 'live' set!?!… im stumped.
Avi & Lior are great guys though… very friendly and still humble after
all this success.

Dan Efex played a bit too long for my liking…wish Derby could have gone on longer instead.
He played Azax's Rain and that made my night!  😉

Infected Mushroom did something similiar during one of their Soundbar shows — played a “live” version of “Elation Station” as remixed by Beat Hackers.  I don't understand how this qualifies as their own material after it's received additional production by another act.  If I were performing, I'd want to play *my* rendition, not someone else's.  But whatever…

Yeah, as much as I like Dan Efex (who was playing housier and otherwise more progressively than normal), Derby could've used some more playtime at the end there.  You could tell he was itchin'!

[varun]

Well, one reason why Astral may have had to do it is that the basslines in the earlier produced Astral tracks dont sound as clean or jumpy as the new “techno-whoop baselines” … a solution to that would probably be to remaster the older tracks or maybe replace it with a cleaner bassline. Something like what Sandman did for his 2005 remastered album release of Witchcraft or what GMS did for Arabian Knights on Mescaline(2004 version).

[underfoot]

Varun — Wait, so the 2005 re-release of Witchcraft was REMASTERED?  I have the Matsuri version, and so ignored the reissue.  Is it a drastic improvement, or can I get by with the “classic” version.
