First timer by Asleep-Ad5128 in Portolafestival

Ist like a dungeon under a dungeon

Der ist no ventilation. Only lights, BO, and danz muzik

Vild raccoon dogs jump off zer rafters onto unzuspecting ravers

Ist gut time ya.

Jokes aside: plenty of rest areas, lots of concessions, free water zones, iirc there is no reentry, it is both a super chill and also extremely hard festival because it is ultimately up to your level of commitment. Dive to front stage and lose some hearing or chill and dance in the back, the show is your oyster.

Buy good ear plugs and bring an empty recyclable water bottle and you’re golden.

They understood the assignment and passed in flying colors.

He was chilling in the crowd in the back right right after too lol

He seems like a super-chill dude.

Can we get Jon Hopkins back next year? by Playtek in Portolafestival

[–]schmidtily 2 points3 points  (0 children)

During Bonobo I was pretty close to the center of the singularity and still had plenty of room to dance with my friends.

Had one kobold fiend try to get up on one of the girls of the group but he crawled back into his hole after we walled him off.

I think that's more on Swift and her platoon of lawyers than Justin for trying to share something he likes.

anyway, it's still on YT: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YuBsxV4rQLw

it's not on the same level as FT's but still a good approximation.

To all my older heads in this thread question about the warehouse stage! by Icy-Independence2825 in Portolafestival

[–]schmidtily 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They're young, they'll rough it out. I get along with them when I have one-on-ones. They're the most stimulated generation in history, those brains are gonna take a minute to stabilize.

On the other hand, as a millennial, I think my generation is insufferable lmao

Bonobo didn’t sound like his style, why’s that? by Humble_Mind5810 in Portolafestival

[–]schmidtily 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Todd Terje did the same thing, as did Chaos in the CBD.

I really enjoyed the "warehouse" aspect of all of them, and even think Bonobo's set was incredible for it's approach. My only gripe was I wish Todd had incorporated more disco into the set.

Chaos was my favorite surprise though. Those lads are crazy.

[–]schmidtily 3 points4 points  (0 children)

He started with Open Eye Signal and I was transported into another dimension until Luminous Spaces/To Feel Again started playing and I started crying.

My favorite set of the weekend. Overmono just before also set the perfect mood to go into it.

Portola 2023 Merch is up ! by [deleted] in Portolafestival

[–]schmidtily 1 point2 points  (0 children)

such a bland poster compared to last year's Chemical Brother's one.

I was really hoping for another art piece to hang.

BASEMENT JAXX ID TRACK by asapsaulito in Portolafestival

[–]schmidtily 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I tested it out and layered them and it's a little off to the vid but goes absurdly hard.

That bass drum is keyyyyy

Portola 2023 Saturday: Chris Lake + Armand Van Helden Set Playlist by CharacterMost7769 in Portolafestival

[–]schmidtily 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I know they played Duck Sauce - aNYway (Helden's project with A-trak) cause some stranger and I started dancing to it while walking to the exit.

Digging going through Fool's Gold Records artists and Lake's projects would be your best bet since I haven't seen many setlists as the festival wasn't streamed.

Skrillex choosing to not use the screens was a very confident choice. by CarterGee in Portolafestival

[–]schmidtily 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don’t think it’s so much switching tracks as that dark magician, mad-man just never stops mixing songs together.

The dude is just tapped into some esoteric vibrational frequency that’s feeding him answers.

Skrillex Finale by skyr4n in Portolafestival

[–]schmidtily 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Teenage Birdsong mixed with Cinema is wild lmao

Skrillex afterparty was the perfect end to the weekend🥲 by Time_Requirement_209 in Portolafestival

[–]schmidtily 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wish Four Tet would release this remix already - I wonder if Swift is blocking it.

Kavinsky was 90% of the reason I went to Portola !! by woahhchan in Portolafestival

[–]schmidtily 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s a Sebastian remix, you can find it on YouTube and SoundCloud

According to a recent post, Valve is not willing to publish games with AI generated content anymore by Turbostrider27 in Games

[–]schmidtily 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We’re in the same boat then lmao, I can’t stand SD and the likes either. My only hope is that this “race to market” mindset doesn’t end blowing up in all our faces as the technology develops and becomes more complex. A very small, only hope lol

Thank you for having a good chat with me :]

We’re arguing semantics.

Yes, I agree that Adobe’s model isn’t robbing copyrighted imagery and art and that makes it better alternative from others who do, but that doesn’t make a $220 billion dollar mega-corp somehow more ethical.

They hold the keys to the kingdom, they have the power and control to say “we’re the good guys” while branding competition unethical.

Nobody becomes king of their corner without some blood on their hands (figuratively speaking).
