Field Day

This years Field Day left the rain as a distant memory as the sun held out for a glorious event with a magnificent line-up. Electronic mayhem saw Mount Kimbie fill out the Bloggers Delight tent with a rush of experimental dubstep and head boppers. Gilles Peterson introduced Chicago hip hop/jazz collective the Hypnotic Brass Ensemble, tailor made for sunset with chilled vibes reaching across the park . Caribou were uplifting, positive and ballsy and unsurprisingly drew a considerable crowd, all eager to catch the psychedelic pop-electronica. The highly anticipated Gold Panda proved a popular draw and Matthew Herbert entertained the crowd, mixing discordant sounds whilst mounting a silver step ladder and finishing his set inside a tent. The juddering techno of Moderat echoed an awe-inspiring headline set that leaves Field Day 2010 as a memorable one. Its just finding that there is not enough time to fit it all in, especially having to wait for so long for a beer. Field Day is an evolution of improvement as we pursue the best new music, sound and visual entertainment and this years proved that all the hard work does pay off.
