Defqon 1!

Yesterday I had the privilege of DJing at Defqon 1 Sydney, which is the largest rave event in the Southern Hemisphere - I think there were about 30,000 people there. Of course these were scattered across a large number of stages, and we didn't have too many at our industrial stage (put on by the awesome Shallow Nation crew). But it was still a great day and a lot of fun and I was happy with my set. We had quite a few people who were "outside of the scene" (i.e. general raver / hardstyle people) poking around our stage and having a dance, and it was interesting to see their reactions to industrial music in various forms. Anyway, here is what I played. It was fun playing some really fast tracks (my set finished around 170 BPM) that I don't normally play out at clubs, since most industrial music is around 140 BPM.
