Starting as slow as pig in the mud, the first festival to kick off Labour Day weekend had a lousy turnout from the beginning.

The whole idea of moving the disco out in the Wellington Square did not seem to appeal to the normal Perth club crowd.

The sky finally lifted when Steve Angello and Sebastian Ingrosso started their set. Their set was energetic and varied, including big names like Fatboy Slim and Chemical Brothers.

The morning gigs had a general good mix of urban and dance, and cool eighties and nineties-bopbop songs made fresh appearances in new coats, AC/DC, Lenny Kravitz, Eurythmics, just to mention some.

One genius inclusion was the so-called Silent Disco, where you could drift away with headphones in the masses of crowds shaking their booty, and it was an appropriate way of passing time waiting for the two big highlights of the night.

One of the big minuses was that the two main stages was too close together. Absence of a decent vegetarian food option as well counts as a minus, as not everybody enjoys a fat sloppy burger on a hot summer day.

About thirty fast-running jumpers disappeared into the crowd during Steve Angello’s set, making security sweat for their paycheck.

Later in the arvo was the presence of ambulances also indicating that customs probably should have lent festival management their snifferdogs this weekend as well?

Or maybe it was just the extreme humid weather that day, which could have any club head collapse of exhaustion.

The crowd (which had increased significantly since the gates opened) went absolutely insane when the hip hop rockers N.E.R.D entered the Future stage.

Pharrell Williams established the ground rules (“When I say jump – jump!”) and then they kicked off their set, with a compilation of their latest and greats, finishing with the White Stripes hit Seven Nation Army following the unspoken rock and roll tradition: Thou shalt always end a successful gig with an international hit cover song.

Basement Jaxx kicked off with Good Luck and Oh My Gosh. Their light show was amusing, their costume changes mildly entertaining, but the effort was lacking between the opening song and the closer; the mindblowing Where´s your head at?

Then, on the other hand – they gave it all, and closed off what was an ok day out. Not great, but by all means ok.
