Describe in a Tweet: Fred Falke gets the crowd moving at #Oxegen 2010

What Happened: As the rain started to getÌýheavier on the site it seemed that the smart money was on an act in a tent, where it's always dry and always night time. With this in mind,Ìýyour unhardy reviewerÌýheaded to check out one of the hottest producer/DJs on the scene at the moment. Legendary for his own productions, as well asÌýcollaborationsÌýwith long time partner-in-rhymeÌýAlan Braxe, Fred isÌýcurrently one of the most in-demand remixers in the business.

Glad to see then that the Oxegen crowdÌýwas not disappointed with his hour long set. HeÌýbegan by putting a record on (well, pressing play onÌýa mac) and picking upÌýan electricÌýbassÌýandÌýplaying along live. The crowdÌýlapped it up which,Ìýcombined with the dramatic light show, resulted in a very active dancefloor. In the last half hour of his set, FredÌýplundered throughÌýhis own remixes of tracks by Goldfrapp (Number 1), Gossip (A Heavy Cross), Ke$ha (Tik Tok) and finally, accompanied by himself on bass, Robyn's latest single Dancing On My Own. At this point he cleared the stage for next act Aeroplane to rapturous applause and chanting. FredÌýisÌýclearly welcomeÌýback anytime.Ìý

Crazy in Love:ÌýThe addition of live bass from Fred Falke himselfÌýadded a new level to the set.

99 Problems: At one point, while meandering towards the stage, your brave reviewerÌýaccidentally stumbled into "the circle of fear", where there was a stand-off between two angry men. Security were straight in though to split it up, otherwise, y'know, Team ATL would have got involved.

Oxegen Rating:Ìý8/10
