We love sounds 06

I've just been blown away by a band - not as much as I was when Nirvana first came out but pretty bloody close to it. The Presets played at We Love Sounds. It's like a funky mix of electro and 80's music. Fan-bloody-tastic.

I also really wanted to check out Grandmaster Flash, although none of my mates went. After about 20 minutes I could see why. He went on for about 10 minutes talking about shit and trying to rev the crowd up some more. He started the set with OPP, but kept turning down the volume so we could sing along.. But he did this way too much. Then he would like stop altogether and try to make the crowd jump (I wanna see everybody jump). Everyone around me was like, play some fucking music!

He basically sucked. I left and went and saw [what I think was] DJ Sneak instead. They were actually working their smaller crowd so much better.

Tiefschwarz were also really cool. Like a dark sounding German hardcore mix. Really good stuff. Almost didn't get in, we actually did a trick that one of my friends has done before, just go to the front of the queue and act like you've been there for hours. Nobody said anything. We would have been waiting for literally hours getting in and missed most of the set otherwise. Anyway, asses were danced off.
