These photos are from the New Dawn event held in an old community center near the UofM campus in Minnapolis, MN on April 3rd, 2004. This event was absolutely amazing, and ranks among some of my most treasured musical experiences in my life. The whole Minneapolis "techno" community came together and supported this event. Even events that ran in competition canceled so they could attend and support. And, in addition, Junkie XL, who was meant to perform at The Quest, came to the New Dawn and performed instead.
Junkie XL practically played his newly released CD, Radio JXL LIVE. Breezer, Beauty Never Fades, Dirty Sticky Floors, Angels, and Blue Pill, Red Pill were among his tracks.
We stayed there until 6am, I think, to catch Gray Area performing live. Absolutely amazing.
Here are my original thought, and they are incredibly poorly written: April 4th, 2004
