Dreamy Days
Doureuh! So I just got back from an amazing 4 days at Dour festival in sunny Belgium and thought I'd share some highlights.
First up is Roots Manuva's dub rework of his album 'Run Come Save Me'. Manuva impressively managed to pull of a festival hiphop set without it sounding rehearsed or sing-along whilst keeping the crowd moving. Except clearly being tired of 'Witness' he seemed to be loving his set and kept laughing at the crowd's wack dancing and costumes. This album is not the most obvious choice but it shows off the dubwise heritage of Manuva's sound and is a solid piece of work in it's own right.

Next is the latest release from the producer behind what was probably my favourite set of the weekend. Proxy's dirty techno sound was perfectly suited to the massive, strobe-filled dance tent at 1:30 on Friday night. Starting out with an epic war of the worlds sounding intro, he played a blinding set which felt far shorter than an hour!

To finish, here's a release from Ratatat which is dominated by the 9 minute rework by the Animal Collective. Having bought the hype around 'Merriweather Post Pavillon', I was excited to see hear how the album's acid-folk madness would translate in a live show. I was not disappointed. Starting out slowly with layers of whirling noise which gradually rose and the fell back in on themselves, the set resulted in a noticable section of the crowd falling into a near coma and sitting / lying on the dusty floorboards for most of the set. Bliss.

Hearing Goldie dropping Be True on the valve soundsystem was a highlight of last year's warehouse project. Commix' rolling basslines filled the cavernous space from wall to wall and brought the dance to a standstill.
The same tune also synchs perfectly with this BBC footage of the London to Brigton railway:
Start the video after a few seconds of Be True and observe.
