SÓNAR HIGHS AND LOWS

HIGHS:

- Bumper cars at Sonar night - couldn't get enough of it. Biggest high - realising bumper car token hadn't dropped in, so getting a free go.

- Touching Guru's damp vest and nearly managing to steal it from the bag of the person who caught it.

- Dancing in the sun and dancing outside! hurray!

- Saturday night - David Caretta (live), DJ Hell and DJ Tiga.

- Apparat @ Sónar Day - one of the few live acts who really made an effort - lush, crunchy and banging with great visuals.

- The 'Bulbes' installation being much more interesting than it sounded - a grid of giant 1kw bulbs that generated different sounds in random patterns.

- The lovely clean empty beach away from the city centre.

LOWS:

- Running for a bumper car only to find they were all taken by people quicker than us. Having to do the walk of shame back to the side.

- Almost catching Guru's vest but missing out by a whisker.

- 400 metre queue to enter sonar by day. Missing Billy Nasty.

- Even more time spent queueing for everything once inside.

- Too much corporate sponsorship, Sónar is becomming way too commercial.

- Label showcases dominating the lineup - get back to booking decent acts on their own merit!

- Multimedia installations and interative stuff being replaced by an uninspiring art exhibition.

- Pissing rain on Saturday afternoon.

- Braving the rain for Four Tet's disappointing 'live' set which ended the day festival on Saturday - lot's of poncing about with distortion on a laptop, not much decent music.

- More lows than there should be!
