The Mud! The Horror! The Human Waste!
It didn't take me, or any other sentient being, long to realise that something was Badly Up with last year's Sunrise Celebration – less than ten minutes from finally getting through the main gate on foot, in my case.

Mutate Britain @ Behind the Shutters Gallery
Review by Alexia
Photos Alexia
The first room of Mutate Britain hits me in a series of sensory impressions that I don’t really need to analyze in order to understand. It's almost too much for a writer to put into words, and for a moment I'm tempted just to do the same thing everyone else does: stare, take some pictures and move on. But then I decide to get my pen and paper out and have a go at describing it.

Fuck Fake Live Artists - Do you give a fuck?
By Dave 'Matchstick Man' Griffin
You look up in ecstatic awe through the flashing lights and crisp-sounding beats, to see your favourite trance act playing their new tunes. You're lost in the groove and starting to "have it large" when someone pulls the plug, rudely bursting your bubble. On whipping out your opera glasses (happy that they've finally come in useful) you can see a guy by the decks holding up a banner with the words "FUCK FAKE LIVE ARTISTS" on it. He's quickly despatched by security and in the time Its takes for a formula one car to pit stop on a three-stop strategy the musics back on. Phew... thats a relief. Maybe time for a top-up?

Luminopolis: First Impressions
review by Alexia
photos Jam Gorilla
As I passed the awareness raising stands about the third world, the economics of fair trade, the sheet painted with anti-capitalist slogans, I felt the sneaking suspicion that some – if not all - of the people helming the Good Ship Luminopolis might be veterans of the late 90s free party scene, like myself. My suspicions intensified when I entered the second to last room, where a “Birth of Rave” discussion going on. A panel of talking rave-heads sat on a stage tossing ideas back and forth in front of a camera lens, a-la chat show.
