DJs such as Carl Cox, Chase & Status (DJ Set), John Digweed, Alan Fitzpatrick, Alisha, Syreeta, Eric Powell, Wilkinson, Hybrid Minds, Example, Friction, Luude and Girls Don’t Sync all played standout sets on well designed stages through punchy sound systems.
The crowd allied it up as the sun shone down and people were already talking about next year as soon as it ended.
Here are some of the pictures that best capture the magic of the weekend.
