if you call pushing play on the laptop live (re: bogdan).
PsonicPfistpfuck was definately a highlight for me too (substance P and
davros)...  chaotic drum beats and driving basslines ...check out
http://i.am/hotf for any info on Substance P releases...   Richard fucking
Devine.   fucking amazing.  he started out with this little frequency box
and just made random sounds..moved into his laptop and let the rhythms
begin..  fucking great. the highlight of my weekend.
DJ Scud was pretty good too... mixed everything from DHR.Limited material
to noise remixes of old school ragga tunes..   fucking great.. the rave
kids hated it though  =) (also got to see some guy pissing in his hand and
drinking it behind scud..very interesting)

saturday bode less well for my tired ass.  the endpoint recordings artists
out of chicago were in full effect: .diminish (look for their release
coming out in a few months..plus the compilation track).. amazing idm
material,  CNS Engineering.. really happy and melodic.  then bogdan.  the
music is fucking amazing. heard some tracks off of Samurai Math Beats..
soem new ones that I havent heard..  only dissappointment is that he
pushed play and let the track go.  Live PA != prerecorded material played
over again  anyways the music was fucking amazing.  i want more. now.  

My tired ass fell asleep in a lawn chair so i missed out on PBO. =(

Props to the Drop Bass Network, History of the Future, and Struggle Inc.
for putting this together.  Definatley pushing the limits of sound.  for
more info on any of these groups check out http://www.dropbass.net ;

with Endpoint Records http://www.dusttraxx.com/end/index.html ; and the
/bin shows http://www.enteract.com/~egoiste    are the future of the
midwest IDM scene.
