Was absolutely fantastic

I agree, saw Erol Alkan and the 2 bears in there, was fantastic.

Could do with being open a bit later though, especially with Shangri-La being so f**king impossible to get in to....

Erol smashed it

Really wanted to go but never got round to it.  Mate said it was good though.

Gutted I missed Erol - so hit and miss (IMO) but when he's good he can pull out some epic sets.

Was hoping it was closing earlier this year as I ended up being camped opposite it!

WTF??? It stayed open till 3.30 am every night. Very loud. I know, I always camp on the small field opposite that area ( We used to have the Guardian Lounge there, last year it was the karaoke place ) Cocktails overpriced and watery, more ice than actual drink.

Skream's Disco set on Sunday was absolutely fantastic. Best late night event of the festival. He even got a little emotional towards the end, saying that this was the best set he's played in absolute ages.

I wasn't there but just going by the name of the set I'd say it sounds better than any other set he's played

Him and Benga where great in East Dance, thought the place was going to fall apart during Killing in the name of then stage diving brave bastards!

Totally agree about Skream's set, it was so weird seeing him playing disco, of all things! I've seen him play dubstep, house, and the like but he blew me away with his disco set. Definitely one of the positive effects of hanging out with Jackmaster I reckon.

what was through the wardrobe?  I saw people coming and going but couldnt be arsed getting up to go investigate

[windy_miller]

I stopped there on sunday afternoon for a lovely bit of shade, and then my first ever go in a hammock!

[Memory Man]

an absolute revelation, who needs shangri la?! Erol killed it as per and filthy dukes were amazing great party set on the thursday!

Skream was ok with his disco set but i've heard resident DJ's in leeds at various venues who play that kind of music on a regular basis play a lot better, there was no mixing at all!

was the beat hotel not the place you walk through, take your wellies off, go through a cupboard like door and theres a load of women dancing around on beds?

[Memory Man]

i think thats slumbarave! beat hotel was between pyramid and John peel, it did have a bed behind the barrier next to the DJ booth!

[JC-Mo'Fucka]

oh damn my minds in shangri-la, excuse me!

[fingers_mark]

Can't remember much from Friday, but can vaguely remember Erol jumping up and down the bed and playing Les Rythmes Digitales
