A Worldwide Festival Sète 2011 Roundup

After a great weekend for it’s 4th installment in Singapore recently, we still haven’t forgotten about our amazing trip to Sète last July. So here are the official SYNDICATE videos to our first ever international festival in Europe.

Memories, memories, memories. From being the first international act on Day 1 – SYNDICATE residents Cherry Chan, Kiat feat. Van Detta and Max Lane performed a 1.5 hour set consecutively – to providing visuals on Day 4 for Flying Lotus’ special set with Dorian Concept and Richard Spaven.

A loud shout out goes to the city of Sète, Snapshot Sarl, Spin Comm, Gilles, Ivan, Franck, Boris & Gui for the invite and awesome hospitality. Plus a special thanks to Singapore International Foundation for making this trip possible.

“Clear blue skies, light salty breeze, golden sunshine, excellent wine made from vineyards just round the corner, funktion-one speakers which hug you in the perfect balance of sound frequencies, sensible music-aware festival punters locked into the same grooves (i.e. no dick-heads!), James Blake live, Flying Lotus live, Christian Prommers’ antics, Dam Funk live + Computer Jay on Atari!, us driving around in the Sète mayor’s van for a week, big support from the floor as we showcased electronica and visuals from Singapore (one proud moment for me there), meeting with artistes we respect and bumping into music friends back-stage. It couldn’t have been any better. It just couldn’t. Thank you, Worldwide Festival. I’ll see you in Sète again!” – Cherry Chan

WWF 2011 in Sète was an an amazing experience for me. It’s crazy to think that one year down the road we would be playing an international festival and for some reason I would end up doing the visuals for Flying Lotus. Sète was a beautiful place and nothing compares to the REAL experience of Worldwide Festival. My hair was literally standing on it’s end at the end of James Blake’s live set – it was like watching a new form of music come together. Incredible!” – Brandon Tay

“Performing with the SYNDICATE crew on the opening day was a privilege and so much fun. Lefto made me move, James Blake moved me, Pearson Sound blew my mind on the Funktion-One system and Brandon Tay’s visuals to FlyLo’s set made that performance so magical to me. There’s no other festival I know that pulls together such a varied selection of quality music in a place as beautiful and relaxed as Sete. Worldwide will always have a special place in my heart.” – Vandetta from Octover
