Day two of Secondfest, the world's first virtual festival, turned out to be a much more complicated and - dare I say it - festival-like affair. It was impossible not to miss something, as headliners rocked all four of the music stages at once, forcing the faithful to make difficult decisions: Hot Chip or the Cinematic Orchestra? Organic juice or the spit roast? Clayton or Guilty Pleasures?
The newness of the technology caught up with the event when Gilles Peterson's Live from Brownswood set was punctuated by a few loose server issues in the Dance tent, fortunately though the music was back on track by the time Hot Chip did their phenomenal hour. They stole the afternoon, making the house thump, the walls throb and the hundreds of festival goers freak out.
The best surprise of the evening was The Cinematic Orchestra, whose blinding- albeit short - set, soared over the main stage arena and across the Dance Tent.
