Only two weeks and a couple days to go!!!


For those in the know (as im clearly not lol).........

Where are the decent dub systems going to be this year? Any un-official ones worth checking out? Whos playing etc?

Im not planning on getting stuck at all saints road for the dnb again :roll: Aba shanti (uni of dub) was about the only dub system i managed to get my ears near and that was only for the one day! :cry:

Who's reaching? :twisted:

Didn't go last year and essentially flopped it year before that but did manage to catch a bit of Aba Shanti. Sounded absolutely ridiculous. Definitely gonna have to reach this year.

Seriously, I had my 1st Shanti experience in the back room of the last Subloaded, missed most of Kode 9 and more cos it was that heavy, spititual business - Sadly I'm busy that weekend, all weekend =[
