'Infection' Game Contest Winners
We held a competition where the top three players could win a meet & greet at the release party in Fabric and a signed album. Below is a conversation with the winner, who flew from France to come to the release in Fabric. (The guys flew into Leeds cause they thought it was close to London but then had to travel for another 6 hours by train to get to London :P)

Tim from Flavour congratulating the winner:
Hey man,
you won the Noisia Infection contest! Congrats!
4 tickets for the launch party in London + meet n greet + a signed album are yours for the taking.
Noisia's manager Walter (in the cc) can cover details with you, but you can book your flight now!
Insane score man, we really went crazy here when we saw it. I understand you looped the boss on purpose for 45 mins!
Got any cool testimonial quotes we can use?
Thanks man, and enjoy.

Reply from the winner explaining how he got such a ridiculous score:
Hey!
I fear that reality is far less glorious.
I played for the first time at the end of the first week i didn't understand the concept of the game at all! in 30 minutes i arrived to the boss.
Then i worked maybe 1 or 2 hours on the transition between the 3 levels to keep my combo.
Then worked on the boss level to find how to stay alive, and i found that the end of the level hapenned only when the boss was killed.
I trained a little my combos keeping skill and then i had no limit of score since i nearly couldn't die.
I really thought that the players in the top ten or top five at least, had understood that and that they were waiting for the last day of the contest to drop high score. So did i.
Then for the two next weeks i just played once or twice just not to loose skill.
The day before the end of the contest, il played for nearly four hours. I kept my combo from the start to a combo of aproximately 1000. i was tired so i lost it and lost a lot of combo after this one too. Then i was like in trance (:D) and i did some combos around 1000 and finally two 2500+ combos (best combo 2821).
I have to admit that being a pro musician may have helped me a little...
In fact i just did the best i could to win 'caus there was NO FUCKING WAY i could miss this opportunity.
I'm comming to the event with one of my best friend who made me know Noisia and D&B nearly ten years ago, he his a total fan and so am i. They are a part of the process which made us start producing and they inspire us everyday....So.... fuck that, that's gonna be HUGE.
"It gonna be a fucking Monster Mudslide. Heavier than a Mammoth heavier than a Diplodocus HEAVIER than a Yellow Brick wall or a Tomahawk hit. A Tide of Mindstorm; a Psycho Therapy of Animal crowd. Endangered Species flooded in Cold Champagne and Milkshake, a total Brainfreeze. We will send Machineguns Far From Deep Space and we'll Split The Atom till the end. We'll Creep Out under a Black Sun known to have No Escape. That's My World....but i don't want to be Cruel nor Unusual so i'll Stop It here.
Hey can you hear that?....."
The testimonial is between " " but you can quote or use what you want! ;)
Should i contact Walter or will he contact me?
Thank YOU! great game by the way!

Budapest Roadtrip
Due to the vulcanic ash the flights to Bologna and Budapest on April 17th were cancelled. We were going to cancel the shows but in the end we could still make it to Budapest by car. We arranged for a driver, rented a car in Groningen and drove to Utrecht on Friday to pick up Milan from Black Sun Empire who was also playing Budapest. We drove the rest of the day, 10 more hours on Saturday and Martijn played the gig that night. It was in Studio, a really nice venue on the Sziget island. After two more days of driving we came back in Groningen on Monday night.
To thank us for driving all the way there the promoters sent us a custom cake:
And here's a really drunk Martijn freestyling in the club after his set. Its in Dutch but maybe we'll add subtitles later :)
DISCLAIMER: Martijn can't even freestyle when he's sober
Machtig Flyer
April 29th Machtig, the party we organise every two months in our hometown Groningen. This time: Ed Rush & Optical!! The woman holding the gat is our Queen, its Queensday tomorrow in Holland :)
