PLANET LOVE ROUND-UP

Ok, a quick round-up from myself.

As usual I spent to much time running between tents and once again ended up only hearing a couple of full sets (I always do this at PL!)

Anyway, arrived at PL and went straight to the Love tent and caught the end of Armin's set. Really enjoyed what I was there for and was loving it when he dropped 'Communication'

After that we had a walk around and checked the place out. Headed to the VIP for a few drinks etc. Next I headed off to the System X tent for one of two acts I'd singled out as a must - DJ Force & MC Junior.

Got to the System X tent only to discover that Force & Junior had came on an hour early and I only caught the last two tunes - hugely disappointed! I've been a Force & Styles fan all my life and was really looking foward to this!

I should have taken this opportunity to catch Bass Generator (my other must-see act) but instead I stayed for the first half of Re-con's set, which was a bit disappointing.

Next up was Jules in the Love tent and the place was pretty packed. Not a bad set from what I can remember and I stayed for most of his set.

Caught bits and pieces of other sets before going to see QFX (who once again is a group of completely new people). They played some favourites like 'Freedom', 'Children of the Night', and 'Discoland', that got the packed tent going mad. They also played a couple of tracks from their new album. I have to admit I preferred the 'new QFX' to the one I saw two years ago at PL.

Anyway, after QFX it was over to see Dogzilla live who completely blew me away. And when the fireworks went off over the stage as they were playing 'Without You' it was by far my favourite Planet Love moment of all time

At midnight I headed over to hear Mark Wesley in the crowd fatigued Coach tent. Wesley was playing some excellent trance and all I can say is that he looked like he was enjoying himself

Went to get some water about 12.30am and ended up staying in the VIP listening to some dirty 80's Disco from the Futureheads, which was refreshingly different from what I had heard throughout the rest of the day.

After that I caught about 20 minutes of PVD's set and I must admit the crowd looked like they were totally loving it. They were in awe of the German trance maestro.

And alas, Planet Love 07 was at an end. Or so I thought until the Essential Mix came on Radio 1 with Above & Beyond from PL, followed by another PL mix in the form of Marcus Schulz.

So all in all I had a great day, but missed so many acts that I had planned to see;

Force & Junior, Matt Hardwick, Bass Generator, Scanners, Babyshambles and Fedde le Grand to name but a few.

Maybe next year I'll force myself to stay in one tent long enough to catch a few full sets

Thanks to anyone who actually took the time to read all this Roll on PL 08

well atleast u had a good day , the vip was disapointing like cmon 4 toilets , u get in toilet quicker at non vip toilets lol , im a hardstyler but the djs i seen was , armin van buurin when i 1st came in pl then judge jules was pretty good then i saw eddie halliwell for 10mins then went back to love tent dnt have a clue who was on maybe still judge i think , then i seen yoji then tidy boys thats onli djs i think i saw lmao good day tho n i heard the hardcore tent was pretty pumping shud of went in for a while

Oldskool tent was packed, not many about the hardcore tent I'm afraid.

I think the Coach tent and Hardcore tent would have gotten bigger crowds if they were positioned somewhere in between the Love and Goodgrief tents - as people would have waundred in to them as they were moving between the bigger tents.

Maybe they'll do that next year though

yeah plus goodgreef tent shud b bigger far to warm in their because its to packed out

Never stepped foot in to it once Combat...

The only person playing in the GoodGrief tent who would have interested me was John Askew. He was absloutley fantastic the last time we were at Gatecrasher.

Did anybody hear any reports about planet love south if it was good or bad

from what i heard they loved it

but when u think of it what has the south really got in place of it ?? nothing really and they love a good party down there !

id say it will be back nexy year aswell ... seemed to be a sucess !

Yea, there's defiently another festival down south next year as well.

Was supposed to be brilliant but the line-up was no-where near as good as PL North

no way the northern ireland one shud always get first pref for best dj's

we've been there from day one !

Think really the only dj id really like to of seen from the summer session would of been Barry Connell thats really all Anybody know when the line up is released for the winter party even though its a while away

Probably next month sometime

i know armin and jules def on the line up and there will be a hard style dj too

there talk of a house dj aswell ... would be good to get david guetta !

theyre gna go from house to trance to hardstyle

Yea would be good to get david guetta or eric morillo over, but wouldnt be fussed on the hard-style dj, not my scene at all!!

yea bugger the hardstyle... id go home then

in fact thats when the madness would start all that slabbering about the place next thing they be doing jump style in the kings hall lol

flash back .... i actually seen people doing that jump style dancing at planet love...

Yea really hate the whole hard-style scene imo a load of drug fuelled spides And defo dont get the whole dancing lark they do

Can't stand hardstyle myself. IMO the majority of people who follow it just like it because of the heavy bass.

Have got a few sets from sensation black and just dont see the appeal of that sort of music Just not my thing

Thats all it is ... one big booooooooom of bass all night long with a screechin sound thru it


id love to give trance energy a go is say it would be good now .... i def want to get to a dance event in holland sometime

I'd love to go to one in Russia or somewhere really wierd like that

have u seen the dancing in russia lol ..... member that video it was sooo funny

its like a whole new world had been opened up to them ... theyre little faces in awe at the dj... the lights...the club....like ur first clubbing experience hehe

Yea trance energy or dance valley would be really good to go to!! But also big events in america brazil and asia that im would be worth checking out aswell

hell yea ! id be up for that !

id have been away to dance valley this year but id no money ...
