The Big Chill Soundsystem over Prague
5th June 2004, The Czech Republic.

The Big Chill Soundsystem were invited out to the beautiful Eastern European city of Prague to spend a day in the company of the Algida Chill Out Festival. It was the first time that Prague had witnessed such a thing, and regardless of the fact that it'd been raining for the two days prior to the event, spirits weren't dampened.

There were two stages, one indoor (where Big Chill Artistes were performing) and the other outdoor, both on a small island on the river that runs through the capital.

I was due on after Laura B, and I think I played a really nice set - its rare for me to really enjoy performing, but I really had a good time!

Highlights included Mixmaster Morris playing a sublime set, and Pete Lawrence playing a sadly under-attended set, due to him clashing with Bent on the other stage. They were good too, although the sound system was distorting a bit.

The event finished at about 10pm, and we were taken out for a slap up meal, after which we were ushered to the Roxy for the after-show bash, where things got a bit messy. Morris played another great set in the chill out room, while Dzihan and Kamien played a four to the floor set in the main room with accompanying visuals by our resident VJs Amukidi and The Ombudsman.

A great experience!
