Reading 2005 : Mylo in the Dance Tent

MyloNot since the transformation
of Norman Cook into Fatboy Slim back in 1997 has one man been heralded so much
as the saviour of dance music. And
Mylo is certainly living up to his name, with his crossover appeal for dance,
indie and pop fans becoming more encompassing by the day.





Making the dance tent fuller
than it had probably been all festival, the atmosphere was absolutely
electric. With 2 large screens
featuring Mylo’s video projections, strobes, and fantastic lighting displays,
this was the perfect festival closer for some. While some may scoff at the necessity of seeing a dance act play their
set live – after all he could just put his cd on and it would sound the same –
it was the audience that made this so spectacular. The building tension leading up to the
breakdown in Drop the Pressure was nearly unbearable and once unleashed your
oh so serious rock fans could be found dancing with the best of the pop kids.
