19th
So
blisteringly hot that the large chunks of ice I'd put in my drink had
melted by the time I got from the kitchen to the lounger outside.
After
sundown, we hit Cream at Amnesia,
an absolutely massive warehouse-style venue with two giant inflatable
superheroes pumped up on either side of the stage, between which was
placed a spotlit DJ booth. The crowd- quite younger than at other
clubs- lapped up the electro and dance mash-ups.
Here's
DJ DOD...
...and
Benny Banassi!
He bears
a striking resemblance to Robert Downey Jr, don't you think?
Eddie
Halliwell also performed a set although I didn't get a video for some
reason.
Most
memorably, when Laidback Luke took over, his promo team dished out
about a thousand giant pointing foam fingers, first throwing them to
the people at the front of the stage but soon frisbeeing each one as
far as he could into the surging crowd, until the whole venue was a
sea of yellow fingers, thrusting to the beat as the DJ twisted his
fingers, his thumb and forefinger L-shaped, symmetrical.
Can't
believe I didn't get a video of him either!
I
apparently missed Paul Van Dyke because- unbeknown to me- there was
another entire room with another stage, where PVD was playing.
According to the group that room was the main stage, with a bigger,
better layout. We must have split into two at some point, and found
each other later on, something I have no recollection of at all-
possibly due to not getting back to the villa 'til 7:30am.
