I am super excited to see Tim Burton’s version of Alice in Wonderland next year.

On Monday I caught memorable sets by Adultnapper and Ellen Allien at the festival. I was pretty tired by day four so I headed to the hotel room and rested before our secret party at Oslo. Bryan Kasenic (Beyond Booking) and Eric Cloutier organized a last minute party at Oslo with Adultnapper and Steve Bug. Eric opened up and the night continued with a stellar tag team set by Adultnapper and Steve Bug. The next day Brendan and Amber picked us up and we finally ate at Slows BBQ!

Your are welcome for this photo Eric.

It was a hot sweaty dance dance party just like The Bunker

Sunday night was the only night we had a “night off” from throwing parties at Oslo. Bryan was booked to open the all night acid house party No Way Back produced by Interdimensional Transmissions.  I was wonderful to meet our lovely party hosts Brendan (from Ectomorph) and Amber.  All night (and morning ) we were blessed with awesome tunes from Spinoza, Derek, Plaslaiko, BMG, I.B.M., Mike Servito, Chuck Hampton, Carlos Souffront, Patrick Russell, and Traxx.  Yet, the best part was hanging out in the lounge at the early morning hours with a my silly wasted Detroit/Brooklyn tachno family.

We were the first people to arrive and I took this photo of Derek Plaslaiko while they were setting up.

On Sunday we ate some delicious deep dish Chicago style pizza at Pizza Papalis and headed upstairs to Ryan Brogen’s party 313 at the rooftop day party at Exodus Lounge. There was hardly anyone there but I was happy to see about 20 of my friends enjoying the music and good weather. Omar S proved to be one of the most talented DJs I heard all weekend.  The best part was watching a very adorable Japanese girls go bananas over his music.

Then we headed back to the festival to and checked out a banging live performance by the brothers team of Octave One.  Their set was one of the highlights of the festival for me.

Collectively we decided to skip a meal at Slows BBQ to catch the much anticipated performances of Innervisions and The Wighnomy Brothers.  I was sadly disappointed by both acts,  even though I love their music so much.   I fed my growling stomach some bland festival food and headed back to my hotel room to rest before the No Way Back party.
