Nice car really, really loud, but slow as fuck due to all aditional weight.
Played a really nice set for an extreme sports festival I organize, banged lots of mainstream
dnb under the sun with lots of people. One of the most enjoyable thing in the world, an open-air gig.
Anyways, big up's Red Bull for letting us use this amazing truck. Much appreciated.

Not sure if you read the whole thread but few months ago I posted a sum up of a gig I organized with a bunch of friends. Motivated by the first succes of our association, we did it again.
We wanted the night to have a Berlin flavor, and because we didn't want to spend much on the decoration stuff, the "squatting" idea was 100% spot on.
Everything you'll see in the room didn't cost a thing, we just grabbed what we could find anywhere, asking factories for barrels and stuff...
First of all, the trailer. Professionally made by a friend of us. It's in French, and it's a parody of a commercial so you might not get the whole
thing. However, since we decided to make a Berlin themed party, if you're german you will love how we remixed your language.

Pure awesomeness. A seat made of a supermarket "trolley" (not sure of the translation). 100% homemade

The bar. Yep, the glass sign was a stolen traffic sign we remixed to be a glass. Notice the cans that we modified to look like speakers (they don't work, it was pure decoration).

Smoking zone outside before the shit starts. Benches made of wood planks, barrels as giant trashes. Squat-like.

Most of the walls were covered by graffitis. Unfortunately the photographer didn't take pictures of it exept this one.

A bit of back 2 back jamming as the crowd starts entering the place and getting drinks.

Warmup is over, the 2nd DJ starts his technoish set. That's some serious knob twisting right here.
http://a1.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphot...28780450_n.jpg
Then, SURPRISE. Break dance intermission for 10 minutes. Jump ! Jump !
http://a5.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphot...49964535_n.jpg
Now the crowd is dense, and the 3rd DJ starts his banging techno set

It's easier to go on the table with an S4 than with 2 CDJ + a mixer.

It was hot as hell. Again.

Haters gonna hate. (Private message to some haters that showed up at the gig)

Inconveignant of brostep : you may look like shit when it drops, but it's a part of the job I guess. Burst. Swag. ahaha
BTW we had 4kW of subwoofers, that was a pretty huge overkill, and whenCDJs were moving by 15 cm on some bass drops. My mate's MacBook Pro even felt down from the table in the middle of his set..
Note to self : put tape under the CD players and laptop next gig.

Speechless.

Sweating ? You don't say ? It was like 40°C and like 90% humidity it the room. Horrible and super nice at the same time.

A small video before the full thing, professionally made, is done and released. The YouTube channel is pretty empty for the moment since it's a new one freshly created, but new stuff should be uploaded soon.

Once again, a great night. Even though we made some mistakes in the organisations (tickets selling etc.) we made a nice profit that we will re-invest the next time.
On a musical note, I personally played a shitty set. It was one of those nights were everything sounds weird and off.. I don't really know about the other sets because I was too busy working when I wasn't playing, but judging by the feedback we received, most of the people had a great time.
Dude both this party and the last one you posted look like so much fun!

dope - I'd love to hear some more on how you organised & promoted it, I'm hoping to do something similar in the future.
