First of all, I just want to say Austin is a mad-house during this week - the streets are blocked off for a good portion of the downtown district and so it has this sort of free-roaming, party atmosphere of a street festival, only it goes on for 4 days +.
I'm not going to review all the acts I saw individually but will say that I was able to check out Hudson Mohawke + Olivier Day Soul, Eskmo, and Flying Lotus at the Warp Showcase (mindblowing), Zackey Force Funk & Kutmah at Hit & Run's Party, Theophilus London & Neon Indian at Green Label Sound, Daedelus at the Ninja Tune showcase, Lazersword & Debruit @ an official venue, as well as Memory Tapes, Washed Out, Dam Funk (YES!), Nas, Bone Thugs & Mayer Hawthorne at the Fader Fort. There are probably a couple others I'm forgetting, but those are the ones which stood out.
Oh, and I finagled my way into Mad Decent's after party but lost my camera in the process (wamp wamp) leaving me with only pics from Tuesday night.

Shout out to my F.A.R.M. team homies, we held it di-down, yerrdddddd. Oh can't forget Whataburger too...you helped nourish me on those cold & lonely nights (seriously it was cold a couple of nights).
And here's a video to try & give you just a TASTE of the experience of Flylo's set (the visuals were incredible):
*EDIT* Just got dope footage of Daedelus at the Ninja Tune Showcase via my bud Aaron over @ theXshark. Bass destruction!!!!!!!
