a little late, but here's some pictures from the Beach Breaks Live Festival in Polzeath, it went pretty well and a good time was had by all.
Big thanks to everyone who helped out with the visuals, namely Mourish and 1000 Errors, their sets looked awesome, but also everyone else who helped out with carrying stuff and rigging and de-rigging, your help is much appreciated!
Oh, and Jon Johnson from AVT, couldn't have done it without you, you're a star!
It was a big shame that Magenta couldn't make it, but im sure there will be plenty of opportunity to see her perform in the future!

right here's a few pictures, hopefully i'll find some more good ones of the screens but these'll do for now...

(r-l) Paddy and Giles from Mourish visualising it up while Olly 1000 Errors prepares his set for later.

been a bit slow on the old updating, bin busy preparing a video mix that will hopefully eb released on the planet01 video podcast. And working with tripldot on a AV piece for a release on net-lab.co.uk.
Our good friends Simian Sounds also had some guest DJs come down and play at our regular night, so here's a pic from the 27th of October when we had Buba King come join us at Waterman's:
we had 3 projectors for their 4deck/3mixer/effects setup:

Last week Brothers Bud from Finger Lickin came down for a spin and ripped it up, we should have a little video of the end of the set up on youtube soon...

The All Hallow's Mashup was a huge success, thanks so much to everyone who came and boogied on down.
We have however taken the note from those that vocalised that, perhaps, just maybe, it is possible to have too much gabba, so we might try and limit the 250bpm stuff next time :)
anyway, here are some pics of the best dressed -

Holifair was so much fun, nice for a change to be performing live cinema rather than VJing in a club.

heres some pictures of our makeshift film dome/tent

It was quite a ramshackle affair but it did the job and we attracted a fair audience for a few hours each night
