Good time. My favs:
1. Benny Benassi
2. Junkie XL
3. Derek Plaslaiko
4. Tiesto
5. Telefon Tel Aviv
Benny surprised me. He played some killer tracks - such as a breakbeat rmx of Moby - "Go" that was f'in insane and then a SICK rmx of Pink Floyd's "The Wall"... it hit so damn hard. Blew me away. Unfortunately, most likely due to the massive partying @ Spybar the night before, I did not get to Purenation until after 2pm - and thusly missed Blake's set. :( Oh well. Junkie XL was amazing. It was actually the first time I saw him live. Had chances before but never got to. Again track after track of hard-hitting stuff, with INSANELY MASSIVE kicks that just obliterated the crowd. He had one of the sickest breaks I ever heard.. after the break was done, the kick started, and it sounded like that was the main kick - but it wasn't. A few bars later, the main kick hit, I just went nuts. Massive kicks. Not only was Derek's music selection fine, but he also played all vinyl, for some reason that made a real impression on me. Deep Dish disappointed me. They played the same song twice ("Party All the Time") and their set was generally low-energy and didn't do much for me. They did play Chasing Cars remix though and that was sweet. The one highlight of their set, perhaps. Tiesto had a great set, I liked much of what he played. He played some really really good trance later on.. Especially this one track. Dave Clarke - I was expecting much more out of him after hearing stuff about him. BUT one thing though - Tony said he played 2 Nitzer Ebb tracks... I was at the 2nd stage and missed em. But that is pretty sweet I would have liked to hear that. Anyway.
The sound setup really impressed me. I would have to say this was the best outdoor live sound I have ever heard. Sound setup at stage 2 was decent but I think I was spoiled by the main stage.
Great event, I will be in line for round 2 next year. Ultra who? ;p
A few pics.

I was blown away. Best music event I've ever been too. I hope they do this again next year. It was worth every dollar. Holy , I'm still moving from yesterday.
Everyone was great, except Dave Clark and Bad Boy Bill didn't do a whole lot for me. |

| Blake Jarrell didn't have much of a set. I showed up at 1:15 and all I saw was him walking away, and Justin Long putting on a killer show for the rest of their slot. Tiesto was a joke. It was my first time seeing him and all the negative reviews held up for me. At one point he completely walked away from the decks for about 5 minutes, and he also never stopped talking to the guys behind him. To me it just seemed like he wasn't taking it seriously. Deep Dish put on a killer show, and they were definitely my favorite. |

So what? Is a DJ required to be in front of the decks at all times for it to be a good show? I bet you don't even like trance. |

again I just added a Java-based fullscreen slideshow feature with configurable options. To use it open the hidden side-bar on the left (arrow icon pointing to the right) and click View Slideshow. You may get a prompt to install a Java add-in - click OK.
Hit escape to get out of the slideshow. You have to set the initial options, here is what I recommend:
