two words regarding the party itself:

ep.
ic.

Let's see, Rex uses Ableton. That narrows the field down!

― Michael F Gill (Michael F Gill), Monday, 29 August 2005 18:25 (twenty years ago)

and he wears a baseball cap further narrowing the field!

somebody has half a dozen pictures of rex on flickr, just search for the "kompakt" tag.

― mike h. (mike h.), Monday, 29 August 2005 18:39 (twenty years ago)

I think it might be Rex' boss actually...

― Hans Veneman (veneman), Monday, 29 August 2005 18:40 (twenty years ago)

did he play the campfire headphase?

― cozen (Cozen), Monday, 29 August 2005 19:31 (twenty years ago)

here's my report:

There's only one usable picture of JX I've seen online but it looks like it could be a match with Rex. Or, as I think Hans is trying to imply, Rex's owner.

― mike h. (mike h.), Monday, 29 August 2005 20:01 (twenty years ago)

Considering all the mystery surrounding his identity, that picture is a rather anticlimactic one.

― deej.., Monday, 29 August 2005 20:03 (twenty years ago)

yeah

you'd think he'd be wearing a big rex mask or something

like khonnor at sonar

― manuel (manuel), Monday, 29 August 2005 20:06 (twenty years ago)

it's JX. my friend supported him at the gig in Dublin and said "hey jake how's it going" and began a conversation.

― Ronan (Ronan), Monday, 29 August 2005 20:07 (twenty years ago)

Are you sure it wasn't all part of a plan to fool you into thinking it's JX, Ronan? :)

― Michael F Gill (Michael F Gill), Monday, 29 August 2005 20:10 (twenty years ago)

it could be, it's all smoke and mirrors.

― Ronan (Ronan), Monday, 29 August 2005 20:13 (twenty years ago)

This guy (eikman?) has a pretty good set of pictures. Looks like he has a blog, no clue if he's ever been to ilm:

didnt really know that many germans had good taste ;-) sold out and blame my lazy ass for not getting a press pass...

missed it and it hurts. but i did see richie hawtin and magda do a 6 hour set outside. that was fun

― rizzx (Rizz), Monday, 29 August 2005 20:31 (twenty years ago)

Looks like the guy from the New Radical, and that would be just fantastic.

― snowballing (snowballing), Monday, 29 August 2005 20:40 (twenty years ago)

I too was turned back for not having snatched on presale. My solution was to block the entrance and ask everyone if they had an extra ticket. Got one for 20 € and laid waste to the dancefloor for the rest of the night. I even see my Basque rival in some of those flikr shots!!!

― deathbypog, Monday, 29 August 2005 22:20 (twenty years ago)

Also, Justus Kohncke + band doing 2 after 909? Extreme dancefloor euphoria. Blissfully, just one of dozens of remarkable moments. Dancing amidst Superpitcher, Justus, and Michael Mayer while Koze finishes up at 7am also very special and heartwarming.

― deathbypog, Monday, 29 August 2005 22:27 (twenty years ago)

That eikman guy has TONS of great pics. Go through his other sets!

― Spencer Chow (spencermfi), Monday, 29 August 2005 22:47 (twenty years ago)

is it me or is the 'pitcher looking more like green gartside with each passing day?

― jon dale, Tuesday, 30 August 2005 01:29 (twenty years ago)

manuel: khonnor wearing a mask at sonar? wtf

― nervous (cochere), Tuesday, 30 August 2005 02:07 (twenty years ago)

Bear city, bear bear city.
