Weak. I caught them on the Mezzanine tour here, and they were excellent.

Re: (313) Sonar 2004: It Rocked!!!!!
I too thought Mills' set was amazing. I loved the way he used the old footage of Donna Summer, Chic Sugarhill Gang - it was like they were performing live with him. He played 'We are the Robots' as well - that was a definite highlight. I don't hear enough Kraftwerk in clubs! Mills was in the local record shop as well, signing new 7' records handing them out. Surprisingly, it wasn't even that busy in the shop. G. Williams, Graham To: 313@hyperreal.org [EMAIL PROTECTED]cc: m Fax to: Subject: (313) Sonar 2004: It Rocked! 23/06/2004 23:20 Good Bits Francois K Sonar Day Friday This was great; a great introduction to Sonar by day, Francois K banged it out, on such a hot day as well. Hey played records for a while then Mutabaruka ranted on for a while, kind of lost interest in this bit, but he finished and Francois K changed the music, he played Star Dancer and the place went mad! He also played Strings of Life and naturally the place went mad again. Richie Hawtin V's Ricardo Villalobos Sonar Nite Having never seen Hawtin play anywhere, and after hearing people rant on about Villalobos, I decided to check this out. Naturally our group was late in arriving at Sonar by nite, we arrived in about 1:45am, so missed the start, wandered over to the room they where on. A massive room, It was great, totally blown away by there set. I would definitely go see them again. Matthew Dear Sonar Nite Friday I can't really remember much about Matthew Dear, but I do remember really enjoying it and having a great time, although there seemed to be some small technical difficulties with the sound, but it didn't really matter. Agoria Agoria banged it out, but not the usual boring hard techno, again can't remember the tunes he played but the place was going mad, I just remember having a good time. Jeff Mills Sonar Nite Saturday Jeff Mills was amazing, I've seen Mills play in Dublin and London, but this was my favourite of them all, I half expected not to be impressed with Mills, but he was brilliant, he played a few classics like The Bells etc. Halfway through his set the Sonar Model (one of the faces of Sonar 2004) came on stage with a camera to take pictures of the crowd (although probably no film in the camera), the place was jammed at this stage so many more people there than Friday nite. Mills kept playing although he didn't seem distracted by her, but he certainly had a quick look at her... He was also playing the 909 and brought one to the front of the stage and got on his knees and played it in front of everyone. It looked great and sounded great. Totally impressed by him! They also had 3 cameras looking at the decks on the main stage so you could see from the back of the room... Miss Kitten Sonar Nite Saturday She played twice over the weekend, on Thursday and then again on Saturday nite to fill in for Carl Cox (definitely a bonus). Miss Kitten was great, can't remember the tunes she played with the exception of Stock Exchange at the end of her set. She rocked the place and was dancing around the decks and appeared to be having a great time! David Carretta Sonar Nite Saturday Only saw a small bit of Carretta, again he was rocking the outdoor part of the Sonar by nite. DJ Hell Sonar Nite Saturday Only saw a small bit of Hell, again he was rocking the outdoor part of the Sonar by nite. SonarLab (I think it was the Lab...) Sonar Day Saturday On Saturday afternoon, it was pretty relaxed in the Sonar Village, But at around 5 or 6 in the afternoon the skies where getting dark and you could hear the reliable sound of the 4, 4 coming from the SonarLab tent ( I think it was the SonarLab tent..), about 15 minutes before it started to rain, people started crowding into the tent, the kick drum was like a magnet the place was going mad, it was like 3:00am in the morning, it was jammed, then it started to rain, which made it even busier, definitely one of the highlights of Saturday afternoon was seeing the tent fill so fast and seeing everyone just going for it... I can't remember the exact time, somewhere between 4:30 - 6:00 but it was either DJ Nudge DJ Paul Naza (I could be wrong here.) Bad Bits Dave Clarke Sonar Nite Saturday Boring Boring Boring! He was $hit! I don't think e even smiled! Why was he the last DJ on Saturday nite
