Jerome Hill finishes off Saturday night at Life with a flourish

The sunshine is nothing short of uncomfortable on Saturday morning, so the Green Luxury Showers that they have on site are nothing short of a God send to bring us round in the morning, even better is the healing area of the festival, were you can get all kinds of massages to sooth you back into working order.

The green cuisine truck which serves some of the nicest food I've had at a festival has completed the recovery process and we are ready for round two There's a set by the lake on Saturday evening, it's a stunning setting and has an atmosphere to match, Ricardo Villalobos draws probably the biggest crowd of the weekend, weaving his minimal magic upon those there who are lapping up every second of it. Butch's – 'No Worries' and Villalobos' own 'MDMA' tracks are two of note which receives the biggest receptions of the weekend. Although the majority of the crowd love it, I find it very samey and uneventful, like the techno equivalent to riding on an elevator.

Luke's Anger plays in the liquid tent later on. What should have been one of the highlights is spoiled by the close proximity of the Liquid tent and Big Top tent, if you aren't at the very front of the Liquid tent then over the course of the weekend there was a severe sound clash between the two.

The Japanese Popstars who've just signed to Virgin/EMI play to a packed tent and have everyone dancing for the duration of the short but oh so sweet set. A great festival act who thrive on this type of setting. Even the most cynical dance music fan couldn’t have helped but enjoy this. Big things await the three as their forthcoming album has a host of star collaborators including Jon Spencer from Blues Explosion fame. Tracks such as 'Face Melter' and 'Rodney Trotter' set the crowd off as does their upcoming remix of Gorillaz' 'Melancholy Hill'.

Jerome Hill follows on from The Japstars in fine fashion. With his own unique style, the man manages to mix up a variety of genres but not once losing the dance floor, techno, house, breaks and acid are mixed up into one big melting pot of rave to finish off Saturday night with a flourish.
