Pukkelpop 2007 was an amazing edition with more then 140.000 visitors, 180 incredible bands of various music genres and a bunch of crazy party people dressed as the Power Rangers or crazy dancing pink puppets. If you live close to Belgium, this festival is one you just have to experience. Bands and Djs like Kaiser Chiefs, Basement Jaxx,The Hives, Just Jack, SHITDISCO, Tool, Goose, Justice, Booka Shade, Andy C, Dj Marky, Boys Noize, Armand Van helden and a lot more really blew up the place and made the crowd going crazy. Being a part of this crowd was absolutely amazing!

Ricky Wilson from the Kaiser Chiefs climbed a pillar on the stage while singing the song” I predict a riot” … crazy ! It was pretty high actually, but the crowd loved it! Amazing show Chiefs !!!

Wicked performance from Goose in the Dance Hall after we got warmed up by an amazing set of Justice, was perfect to end pukkelpop for me. From the start of the first sounds all the hands rose and never came down, all the bodies started to move and never stopped until the last beat bounced through the hall. I never has seen such an energetic show with such an amazing atmosphere, everyone was just dancing and singing along, moving those hands on the beat…. It was hot in there and it was more then worth it!

Captain Phoenixthe very nice upcoming british rock band has this amazing track called “Pistols and Hearts” which apperently is also very popular to for remixes. Union of Knives and The Bloody Beetroots has given it a shot! Both with their total different unique style … Union of Knives approached the song in a very abstract, dark and mysterious way, while the beetroots added some funky electro sounds to turn it into a very energetic danceable track! Don’t forget to check out the original version (the key to these awesome remixes) on Phoenix Captain’s Myspace !
