Multimedia from Sunday afternoon - I have to make a separate post for Saturday and Monday. It's been busy. ♥

Piknic Electronik I

On Sunday I went to the Ninja Tune edition of Piknic Electronik, i.e. electronica in the park. Seven hours of dnb, techno, disco and Ninja Tune variety hip-hop, plus 2CD sampler, all for the whopping sum of 5$.

Piknic Electronik II

As the name implies it was mostly a picnic - people sprawled out all over the grass in a several hundred meter radius within earshot of the DJ tent, eating and reading and making merry with friends, though I didn't take any pictures. In the central square there was dancing.

Eventually more people arrived...

As the party revved up, a single cumulonimbus moved in, lone wolf looming over the horizon.

Rain I

And it started to rain.

Rain II

The music didn't stop. (The speakers only started fizzing out later.) More people got up and started dancing than left. WET TSHIRT PARTY W00T

Cedric II

It rained...

Cedric and me

...And rained...

Cedric III

After ten minutes max it stopped raining...

Rainbow

...And there was a rainbow.

They don't shoot beer commercials this good.

Rain III

Eventually it started sunshowering (kitsune ame), and people started breakdancing. Ced and I left at 6:30PM, when our legs had about given out.

Here's a proper shot of the sculpture under which the party was taking place - it's called "L'Humanité", I think.

One Self - Bluebird
The Herbaliser with Jean Grae - The Generals Take London
Diplo - Diplo Rhythm (feat. Sandra Melody, Vybz Cartel & Pantera Os Dandinhos)
TTC - Dans le club

Some tracks from said 2CD sampler (Ninja Tune/Big Dada, summer 2005), fairly representative of the sort of thing that was being played. Did I mention they were selling off vinyl? *g* Now have Amon Tobin's Out From Out Where and DJ Vadim's USSR: Art of Listening for 5$ each. Would've bought more except I only had 20$ on me and it would've been impossible to lug around anyhow.
