Global Gathering 2006
WOW ! This was a truly great festival….absolutely refreshing to see so many chilled out ravers enjoying themselves so much!
My friend Tom (Dj DEFine or http://www.djdefine.com) ended up going with the BBC 1xtra crew down to the Global Gathering. They had a smaller outdoor side tent going on, but there were enough sick beats coming outta the speakers!
First up doing the warmup set was some guy ive never heard of, but had a clean set, with some interesting beats. Next up was L Double with MC Rodney P, who TOTALLY smashed it. Pulling a variety of tricks out of his bag, not to name the countless VIP’s he was slipping in between, him and Rodney completely had the place buzzin. I gotta say this was my favorite set of the entire night.
Next flight graced the stage with MC Joker D, who at first brought the vibe right down, to start a more tech-step style dnb sound, which eventually led to some more darker tearouts & what sounded like some Metalheadz biz….absolutely smashing.
By this time “bar Bailey” was in full effect inside the BBC 1xtra tent, so there was no shortage of spliffs, vodka & cokes and plenty of bass. As Sappo and crew head on in, they are all welcomed by the BBC lot.
During Flights set we all (Double, Wrekka, Define & myself) checked out what the rest of GG had to offer. I discover this nice little mexican food stand which was servin up all kinds of Mexicano goodness….so that was like heaven for me, as a good burrito is fuckin hard to come by in these parts of Europe! For those of you that know me, you can almost gaurantee that this called for 2 burritos
There were about 7 massive tents from what i remember, with various music generes in each. The sound was astonishing, quality productions and a superb lineup!
After a heavy bombing of rain we decided to grab the record bags and head out of the party to go home.
This was a long day/night, but TOTALLY 100% worth it, as this was a party that was well worth checking out and reminded me of the good ole days back in southern california when raving was in its peak and the festivals simply rocked!
