Warehouse 2010 – what a day! I knew that I would have to do a little researching before I actually attended the festival, because there were so many artists to see, with so little time to get between them all. This was the first time I had been to Warehouse, and I was very impressed with the set up.

I got in just in time to see the Bloody Beetroots’ Death Crew 77, and it was absolutely amazing. Those boys proved how talented they all are musically, taking solos left right and centre. I was particularly impressed with the drummer, who was dominating his own performance for the crowd. They powered through Dimmakmmunication, Warp and new one House no.84, and with a fabulous light show to accompany it, it’s no wonder that the crowd went absolutely nuts.

I then headed out to catch MSTRKRFT. Having already seen the duo at 360 last year, I wasn’t going to let that stop me from getting up the front and having a little boogie. Brining out their own Heartbreaker and 1000 Cigarettes, MSTRKRFT really perform to the crowd. They provided us with lots of head-banging and jumping to get the crowd even more wild. Marco V followed MSTRKRFT, providing a change in style to trance, but he still was able to get the crowd going, especially with some of the basslines being pumped out.

While waiting to see LMFAO, I wandered to and from all three stages, to hear Canberra local DJ Bricksta at the Club stage, Joris Voorn at the Terrace Stage and then DJ Hyper in the Arena. I also managed to hear a little of Sam Scratch, who played all the favourite club tracks all the girls loved to dance to. Although Steve Angello didn’t play, it didn’t seem to matter to the crowd, who still partied just as hard as ever and had a ball. I saw lots of coordinated clothing, glow-sticks and even a giant Elmo.

After wandering around, and grabbing a few more quick drinks, I made it to the front of LMFAO’s set. Those guys really know how to get a crowd going, especially all the ladies. After hearing La La La, I’m in Miami Trick and a few more, it got a little to heated and I headed outside. I swear it had dropped several degrees when I made it outside, but I was in time to hear the end of Yolanda Be Cool’s set and have a nice dance to We Don’t Speak No Americano.

After then nagging my friends to come inside for one last dance to see Ferry Corsten, I was so glad I did. It was the best way to end my night. His set was such a different feel to all the other artists that had preceded. Presenting his amazing version of Adagio for Strings, Radio Crash and many more, it was a soothing, great way to end.

The whole event was organised really well. There was a water area in the main arena to refill for free (something I feel all festivals should be made to have). I also found getting out of the Arena at the end was really simple thanks to the buses that were organised to run to the Academy official afterparty. That was a whole other story in itself. Well done to event organisers Kicks for running it so smoothly, and I look forward to the next big Kicks event Foreshore.
