Future Music Festival - Raving for Dummies

Our first few days in KL were spent at Future Music Festival. The first day of the festival was dedicated to Armin van Buren's A State of Trance 600 Tour. It was my first time at a rave and I have to say that I enjoyed it more than I expected to. It was like doing a 9 hour spinning class in a sauna - must have burned about 15k calories dancing away :) Kept waiting for a bit of Rihanna or Carly Rae Jepson though but no joy.



Brian loved it, he was delighted with all of the DJs performances (do you call them performances? I dunno). The ASOT 2013 radio show started at 5pm with Armin who introduced Ben Gold. He was unbelievable! We missed Super8 & Tab, but got W&W in. Catherine loved them and was singing along. Don't ask me how as she never heard of them before! One of the big trance song breakdowns (slow bit of dance song) started and Catherine turned to me and asked me 'is this a slow set?' I think she was expecting Wet Wet Wet to turn up. Cosmic Gate were franking unreal! They played exploration of space and it was class, brought me back to Star Beach days with all the boys! Ked, Skinny and Johnny Maye would have loved it - there wouldn't have been a half moon in sight! Armin came on with a bang then - his show was unbelievable! Brian's Chinese-man hairs were standing on their ends. Kudos to Caff for putting up with the 9 hour song (as she says).





The second day of the festival was a bit more chilled. We saw Temper Trap, Fun, Rita Ora and the Prodigy. Fun were brilliant, they were Caff's favourite. Rita was shite, the power kept cutting out on her and she didn't even notice cos she was lip-syncing. Gas!



The food at the festival was savage, we tried the Rendang curry, Biryani, Sushi, Laksa and Roti. Don't judge us, we needed the energy for all the dancing!



We met up with some cool people from New Zealand, Oz and America while at the festival and are meeting up with a few of them today in Kuala Lumpur to celebrate Paddy's Day. We had been staying at a hotel (www.theyouniqhotel.com) near the F1 Racing Track in Sepang where the festival was on but moved to KL city this morning to a cool hotel (www.geohotelkl.com) in China Town.
