Monday was the highlight for me. 2:30 am - Osunlade, worth the wait. 3:30 am - Ron Trent, excellent as always. 4:30 am - Suburban Knight, playin' all kinds of crazy white labels. 6pm - Kenny Larkin, kickin' James Brown for the breakers. 7pm - Octave One, Ann Saunderson sings Somedays and Black Water. 8pm - Carl Craig, finishes with Angola. 9:30 pm - UR Live, performs single best show of my 33 years. 11pm - Mos Def, a really nice way to close another excellent festival.

The crowds are down just a bit but better than I expected so the $10 admission didn't really hurt things at all. This is an excellent sign for the financial health of the festival. Highlights -- a very fine live electro set by Bangkok Impact (I think that's who it was) in the Musicological tent although something went out with their gear right at 8 pm and they cut it short. And a thumping tech/house DJ set by our own Fabrice Lig that had the main stage up and moving consistently for the first time today. Nice touch: the good old Hardfloor Circus Bells remix at just the right hands-in-the-air moment near the end of the set. Aril Brikha was also quite good. The live sets in general are working out quite well. Off to afterpartyland . . . phred
