There are no words to describe how good it was...just a slow deep Homer Simpson type gargle when I think about it.

 

I cant believe that I spent less there than I did at Global (including ticket, travel, drinks and souveniers)

 

Definately gonna be an annual thing. Knocks the pants off anything I've been to before.

Right thats settled it then, I am now definatly doing two clubbing trips abroad next year. (unless i die or something!) White Sensation 2005 and Dance Valley 2005!

Aaron tell me when you book it as I am going to do BOTH and take it easy before both events so I don't fuck up like this year.

 

So glad everyone enjoyed it. Gutted I didn't make it, but feeling a lot better now (thank god!)

The quality of the sound was truly awesome, it really shows the amount of trouble they go to to get it right... They start setting it up 6 weeks before the event... Maybe UK events could learn a thing or two from them...

 

Other than that had a fucking quality time, didn't get stuck in the crowds for the busses at the end either, which was cool and we were back in our hotel by 12ish...

The laws are different in Holland. Sound levels can go much higher there. I think 130dB is the legal limit there. That's fucking loud.

The sound system was undoubtedly the BEST I have ever heard.

 

Global, GCSSS are absolutly RUBBISH compared to DV / the organisation / sound / travel arrangements to and from the event / prices of food / beer / fags / freebies etc.

 

A wicked sound system makes all the god dam difference.

Words can't describe how well you can hear it no matter where you were standing...

Despite missing well over half the festival it was one of the best clubbing experience I've ever had. What got me most of all was the sheer size of the place - it was just HUGE!

 

Highlights;

 

M.i.k.e from Push dropping 'Plastic boy - silver bath' (a personal fav) in the Amarda tent

 

Marco V

 

Lisa Lashes in the Breaks arena

 

Watching the crowd and the firworks from the top of the valley as Carl Cox brought DV to an earth-shattering climax

 

Love hearts ;-) (fuck! they were good!)

 

The whole fucking weekend!

 

Defo going again next year. Even the winter one I'm tempted to do
