Subloaded report thread!

Subloaded was proper. Not long back in London and probably not in the best condition to write a full report seeing as i haven't slept yet but everything was seriously heavy.
There were a few problems with the sound but they eventually got ironed out. What is that limiter all about? I couldn't belive it when i heard what it was for.
Set by set:
Joker - sadly i missed Joker's set - how was it?
Headhunter - deep and dark bizness, really tight set. Cha remix!
Pinch b2b Blazey - Blazey tore it up with a set of banging grime, got the crowd seriously charged up. Pinch, obviously anxious about the sound issues played some heavy heavy tracks but there wasn't really enough decktime from him.
Plastician - Skepta came down with Plastic, both sporting the fetching Boy Better Know t-shirts. Was so refreshing to hear skepta again. Seems like absolutely aeons since his last FWD appearance. Plastic was hectic as ever. He really is a banker - massive selection. Big up the duppy remix! I like to move it!
DMZ - A little more disjointed than what we've come to expect but when you've got people pill'd off their face knocking the decks what can you do. Massive selection tho. Learn was immense in particular. Antiwar dub set the crowd off big style. Pokes held it down, standard. Quality throughout.
Vex'd - in total, brilliant contrast to DMZ, Vex'd stepped up with a dex'n'fx set, mixing crunching beats with vex'd's inimitable atmospherics. The brutality of Vex'd worked really well against the dub dynamic of the Mystikz. Some of the audience seemed a bit taken aback by it at first but soon got into things. Those +up grime vocal tracks just kill it: they're almost alien sounding. Lights (Loefah mix) provided everyone's favourite singalong (in your head or otherwise).
Youngsta & Task, typical end of night set problems, the nonchemically assisted members of crowd souljah-ering on; the stamina gang. Obviously worth hanging on in for. Couple of interesting new skream bits. Tortured soul i think it was - not sure what to make of that yet. Another totally consummate yunx set.
Truly excellent first experience for me of dubstep in bristol. Great vibes, great event. Big up Pinch everytime - the man grafts!
Big up to everyone i met.
