culture one the aftermath
Culture one was a blast! I think the turnout was less then last years event. Still it was great to hang out in a outdoor venue and be able to walk around and check out the different music arena’s. I was very lucky to have been chosen to play in the main room, and as I expected the sound system was huge!The bass was so loud it was making me queezy, and when I went outside my ears were ringing. In all I had a great time even though I played to a crowd of 5 people but the sound system made up for it. As for the other stages it also took quite a while for them to get going, the event was getting busy by 10pm but before then everything was still quite empty. As expected all the local DJ’s all played wicked sets and I must say that I was really impressed with the Titan(minimal techno) arena. Lots of funky bleeps and beats came from that arena and I personally thought it was much more enjoyable then say the trance or indy rock stage. I was a bit suprized to see that by 3 am the venue was half full. Thai people are always complaining how they wish the clubs would close later, and look what happens when they get a event that stays open til 4! Ken Ishii was the last dj on for the night. He played a wicked set but unfortunately there were not so many people there to enjoy the vibes. I wish that shit was rammed until the end of the night… Either way I had a great time and I absolutely love going to raves. When 4 am came it was time to shut down the event and go home. I was buzzing by that time and I wish I could have went to an after party with all the crew but unfortunately I had to go to work later that day! Hopefully the organizers will be keen on making the event happen again next year and, next time I’ll make sure I have Sunday off.
I’ll have more pics uploaded later on in the week
