Jackmaster – Main Stage, Monday
Jackmaster cut an impressive figure standing tall under the main stage lights on Monday, framed by the logo arch structure across which his name flashed in projected intervals. It was all very rockstar, and the Glaswegian DJ was on a crowd-pleasing tip, expertly mixing through a hit parade of classics featuring cuts from the likes of DJ Deeon, Alan Braxe and Whitney Houston. It was a functional set that did its job well with the pulsating crowd patently pleased, but the magical setting is what made it special. A giant disco ball sparkled overhead, reflecting vivid colours onto the collection of trees that enclosed the area, giving it an enchanted forest feeling.
The Numbers boss warped and slowed down Todd Terry’s ‘Can You Feel It (In House Dub)’ as the clock struck curfew and it seemed like his set had reached its close, before he suddenly barrelled straight past it, launching into ‘Blue Monday’ and sending waves of renewed excitement through an audience that had just been preparing to disengage. Jackmaster is unstoppable, never forget that.
