Goddamnit Justin!

Apart from in between sets, do you peeps reckon that there'll be much foot traffic around the stages? I'm trying to keep my hopes up that I may just be able to work around the main stage when A&B are on

A&B and Jizzepieeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee eeeeeeee

am i the only one wondering why there is a changeover between dirty south and guetta? both play similar music, and they are both just dj sets so what needs to be changed?

LOL I never even noticed that... I just assumed that Changeover was some rubbish filler act. Not that I've really taken notice of what's on that main stage anyway! It seems though that festivals want to build up to the big main acts by putting in a gap. There was a break before Armin at Stero, and when I was at Future this year (in Sydney) there was a good 15 minute break before SHM came on. Looks like they are doing the same here, will probably have some random tunes pumping to try and get the crowd ready (they might as well just switch on Fox FM )

It's gunna be awkward when 95% of attendees are at the mainstage when A&B are on..

Hmm, convenient that A&B are on in the tiny little 90min break between my cousins wedding ceremony tomorrow and the reception. Maybe I can fistpump to some trance as the most well dressed punter there ever was?

I'll take one for the team.. it's just the kinda guy I am.

Lawl, peeps would be like, I wonder who he's come as.

Pumped as a mofo for a&b! Think I'm gonna wee my pants a little when they play. Excited to see tritonal and Giuseppe too.

Gonna be an awesome day tomorrow, can't wait!

yeah when a&b are on its going to be packed on main stage but still worth it though

Fuk I'm fknnn pumped

Happy Creamfields day party people

They posted a 360 view of the main stage, looks pretty awesome to me, will be even better as the sun sets when a&b plays!

Sun setting is irrelevant when its indoors

Anyone want to get rid of a cheap ticket? I'm in need.

I've got a ticket for sale for $100?

Vitalic! JPS vs Nam and The Heavy Innit boys all kicked some serious ass!

I feel sorry for all the people that were watching Guetta and missed Ottaviani's EPIC set.

W&w and Giuseppe ottaviani were epic

Seriously one of the best days that I've had in a long time. 8+ hours of pure pumping trance!!

Above and Beyond blew me the fuck away!! Oh. My. Gawd. SUN AND MOON!!.One of the most EPIC moments... EVER!! The atmosphere at that stage was like nothing I've seen before... the messages they were typing added a nice touch for sure!!

My biggest regret was leaving A&B 15 mins early (after Sun and Moon) for W&W. They were slightly disappointing for me. Very hit and miss. Some of their songs were amazingly mental (ZOMG INVASION!!!) But a few of their songs i wouldnt even call trance.

Otherwise... Marlo was fantastic. Tritonal played heaps off Piercing the Quiet which I was happy about. Sied had a good set. And im so glad that I was with someone who didnt want to see Guetta and just went fucking nuts dancing like losers to Giuseppe... but we dont care!!! Haha

Only negative. Trance stage... where is the fkn AIR CON!! That room was like a sauna... compare that to main stage which had 10 times the amount of people and was perfect temp.

Oh and nice to meet ya MJay! Hope you got finished in time for A&B!

Pretty awesome day, only gutted that I couldn't see much of Tritonal and Sied van Riel since I was ambassador-ing for ITM, and then hanging around the mainstage to get a good spot for A&B.

Given the expectations I had for Alesso when I was there for the second half of his set, I have to say it was pretty good just to party to. Nothing spectacular, just the general catchy commercial cheese that was expected was fun to party to.

A&B... definitely were NOT missing these guys the second time. And wow! Loved every minute of it, knowing most of the tunes playing whilst getting exposed to some new stuff, it was awesome (Prelude - definitely a highlight!). Only gripe (I expected it from the start), the crowd. It wasn't that bad during Armin @ Stereo IMO, but yesterday, there were people on the verge of fighting, some idiot brought in a glass bottle and dropped it in a pretty crowded area, some dude was practically dry-humping (deliberately of course) the friend I was dancing with, and the list goes on. Could only wish that there was a larger trance stage, and that they could've closed the night there to split the crowd more.

W&W were great I thought (soz Chris ). Although it did seem like they were just playing absolute banger from the past year after another, the energy was awesome. Really fun partying with heaps of people around me who were also getting into them heaps, really fun times, probably one of my more favourite "partying" sets (rather than general awesomeness ie. PvD, Gaz @ Future).

Haven't really heard much of Giuseppe's stuff until yesterday; but now I know why everyone on here's like "JIZZEPPEEEEE!!!!!" Man, great live set, awesome uplifting trance to close out the day, shame the crowd diminished heaps so there was pretty much only the front row who're really getting into it. But so many IDs I want now!!!

Awesome meeting you too Chris (albeit it was only for like a minute)!! Chuck us a fb request (pretty sure you can find me using "Mjay"), it'll be easier to tee up meeting at Armada Night or something.

Hey thanks for the tracklist deeptrance, did you manage to get any other tracklists ? Guiseppe/W&W?

In about an hour I'll be off to the Sydney edition.

Great reviews by the edm community here down under. Can't believe they will leave sun and moon til the end.

Unfortunately I didn't get others but all I can say is they were both awesome. Like others have said W&W played all their big hits/party tunes with their 'tech house' sound and guiseppe plays some nice uplifting tunes. I went in not knowing a whole lot about guiseppe, I was dead tired but he still managed to keep me moving till the end, loved it. Also Tritonal had so much energy!

Phenomenal night. Above & Beyond + Guiseppe Ottaviani...fkn awesome

Media Player

Above & Beyond | CREAMFIELDS MELBOURNE 2012 | A THING CALLED LOVE - YouTube

hmmmm pretty epic day. Loved a&b (altho accidentally (??heh) found myself pretty mashed for their set, so memory aside from epic awesomeness is a little sketch. W&W, sid van riel, all awesome, giseppe was an incredible way to end the day!

so... I also lost my wallet, anyone have an idea of who I could call for potential lost&found? (not much chance I guess... but worth trying?)

ITMers you are an embarrassment to serious electronic music!

Shut the fk up Flyn you trollololololo

As for you forsaken, you must have been really fkd up to lose ur wallet hahaha. Lost in the anjuna deep of trance awesomeness hahaha:pppp!

[Warning: somewhat jaded old trance fan here]

Rocked up about 2.30 to see a bit of Vitalic, couldn't get into it, so wandered over the the trance shed. MaRLo and Tritonal played, frankly, unremarkable, trance/house type stuff which the kids were going absolutely mental for. Tried to like it, and couldn't.

After a break for some fresh air, we dove back into the trance oven (now at about 50 degrees inside) to see Sied van Riel. Again, he played a couple of driving tracks before slipping back into a tech-house kind of vibe. Again, disappointed.

As we wandered into the main room, Alesso had the crowd eating out of his hand, despite the sound being woefully underpowered to fill the space crammed with thousands of people. A&B stepped up and played their hits, plus a couple of other Anjuna tracks. Fun, but certainly not mindblowing. The sound (boomy, muddy bass, lack of midrange and tinny high end) probably had a bit to do with my opinion.

Wandered back to W&W, who really hit the mark - they were super. Plenty of energy behind the decks, a great mix of anthems (Love Comes Again, Be Your Sound, Invasion, Silence) and tech trance.

Finally, a word of advice to the interstate punters: DO NOT MISS GIUSEPPE. I've been going to trance events for 10 years, and his set was the best thing I've ever seen. Full stop.

He stepped up and slammed out an hour and a half of genuine old school uplifting trance... very few make music like this any more. His remixes of PvD's Lost in Berlin and Don't Deserve You are phenomenal.

A rough tracklist from GO put together from scouring Youtube and Soundcloud this morning (in approximate order):

Giuseppe Ottaviani – ID (track 1 of ASOT 550 set)
Giuseppe Ottaviani – Linking People (just about died when I heard this coming in)
Giuseppe Ottaviani – Through Your Eyes
Betsie Larkin & Giuseppe Ottaviani - Toys
Giuseppe Ottaviani – Angel (Club Mix)
Paul van Dyk feat. Michelle Leonard – Lost in Berlin (Giuseppe Ottaviani Remix) CHOOOOOOON!!!!
Paul van Dyk & Giuseppe Ottaviani – A Wonderful Day
Sean Tyas & Giuseppe Ottaviani - Arcobaleno
Giuseppe Ottaviani – ID (track 3 of ASOT 550 set)
Giuseppe Ottaviani – ID (track 7 of ASOT 550 set)
John O’Callaghan & Giuseppe Ottaviani – Ride the Wave
U2 – City of Blinding Lights (Giuseppe Ottaviani Remix)
Paul van Dyk - For an Angel (Giuseppe Ottaviani Remix)
System F – Out of the Blue (Giuseppe Ottaviani Remix)
Gareth Emery – Sanctuary (Giuseppe Ottaviani Remix)
Paul van Dyk feat. Plumb – I Don’t Deserve You (Giuseppe Ottaviani Remix)
Giuseppe Ottaviani – No More Alone

Amazing. Reckon I'll retire from trance gigs now - I'll never see anything remotely that good again

why were W&W so late? not happy jan

Apparently one of the songs in there was a new one with Alana Aldea. It was a top set. I really didn't have any real expectations from Giuseppe and didn't expect to stay right until the end but I did. He ended the night with a bang. My friend and I were just dancing like crazy as were the people around us. It was good that the room wasn't so packed for him so had our spot on the side to bring Creamfields to a close. He was great.

I'm still buzzing from A&B a day later... Sun and Moon... yeah!!

so 200 people got arrested hey?

Last track of the night was Toys one of his best

My opinion

Creamfields was a disaster for a few reasons
1. For above & beyond being in a main stage (all trance artists should be together IMO)
2. Sound in the main tent must have been setup by amatuers... seriously underpowered and i was 20 meters from the front. Guess they didnt want to wake the neighbours lol.
3. The trance arena shouldve been placed in the same arena used for Stereosonic, or and the very least, used the whole room as there was 30 meters of extra space behind the stage.... poor arrangement. Influx of ppl to see w&w was surreal, but have close to a few thousand trying to push into that room proved that it was under sized.

overall i give this a 5/10
Stereosonic (which is also run by the same monkeys that ran creamfields) was far more success....

and i do hope they read and take on board peoples opinions.

Agree on your points there, although I still thoroughly enjoyed it. Above & Beyond should have really closed off the trance stage, majority of the crowd was just standing there even to their big hits. Also could barely make out their intro but I think they did turn it up higher a little during 'In And Out of Phase'. Still, pretty much had to force my way to the front to actually hear anything properly. I think the trance stage was fine, nice and dark just the way it should be unlike the white shed which is also very narrow and has bad sound. I thought size was also fine, never really felt packed, especially after being squashed at A&B.

Agree with some that the sound system in the main stage was seriously underpowered. Also where the hell are the lasers?!!
Both sound and visuals in the trance stage shit all over main stage, but my god was it hot in there.
Giuseppe's sets done it for me last night. From the moment he starts right up to the end, it was epic.

Your comparing 'Creamfields' to 'Stereosonic'!

Creamfields Melbourne 2010 8,000ppl. 2011 12,000ppl, 2012 unknown.
Stereosonic has been going for many years now and there at around 37,000 - 45,000ppl. Completely different AV budget levels.

Pretty sure A&B opened up with a remix of Stealing Time. Most of the people there were 'OMG A&B... I love Sun & Moon' fans. Had no idea with most of the tracks. Rather A&B come down when it's their own tour.

A&B were great... but set of the day definitely goes to Giuseppe. Perfect closing trance set. Loved Angel, Out of The Blue & Sanctuary.
