With Melbourne coming down from an intense hail storm the day before, the turn out for Future Music Festival 2010 was looking a little uncertain.

By midday, the rain had subsided and the crowds began to flood the entry gates. Music blared from end to end across ten massive stages and dance areas. The disco sheik dress sense of the millennium generation was in full force with many looking like they’d just stepped out of a low budget Pet Shop Boys music video.

The ‘Likes of You’ tent was home to a Digico D5 console which kept both the crowd and the onslaught of DJ’s by the likes of Dubfire, Booka Shade, Sven Vath and John Digweed grinning ear to ear. The console was driving a huge system for the massive under cover arena which hosted some of the bigger names at Future Music Festival 2010.
