what's going on?



Saturday night, and it's the first party of the season for me. We set out late for the meeting point and whilst on the way, we had heard that the police turned up. We carried on, before getting a call to say the party was going ahead. Survival had avoided the police in the end and we were given directions to the site. On arrival we found out that we were one of the first vehicles to arrive - the convoy apparently had got lost. In the end I think everyone made it to the party.

The party was in an abandoned lockup/barn just off a winding country lane. Survival were setting up inside the lockup. The room was illuminated by a UV and a small colourful Moonflower light. Once set up, the music launched into banging techno, which was played for most of the night except or one DnB set. The room was jumping with a good, no attitude crowd. People seemed to have travelled from all over the place met a crew from Cardiff and a bloke from Mansfield. Outside in a barn, without many sides a small Dub rig from Aylesbury had braved the weather and set up playing good reggae to all the people sat around the bonfire. Nightstorm cafe was there sorting out the Tea's and refreshments. It's always good to see the Fluro T Cup. Morning came and the techno continued. I haven't danced this much in ages and my legs ache now : )

Apparently this was Survival's biggest party to date and I'm sure they'll be getting even bigger over the summer.
