After all the speculation of hail stones the size of tennis balls, East London turned up good and proper with an afternoon of waves and raves in Victoria Park. Big acts like Danny Brown, Metronomy and SBTRKT pulled out respectively glorious sets from their repertoires, performing to crowds who’d worn wellies expecting a wash out. Between £6 bowls of Paella and cans of beer for a FIVER, it seemed that every dapper under 30 in London had turned up, becoming progressively more delirious as the day went on. By kick out time eyes were wide, shoes were muddy and everybody was singing along to the same riff. Here are some of the class acts MTV caught and loved.

Erol Alkan - Expertly mixed house and techno, Alkan took the Resident Advisor stage by storm, closing with his set with a beatific ‘A Hold On Love’. At 39, Erol Alkan was arguably one of the oldest people at Field Day…

Metronomy - An incredibly well deserved headline act, Metronomy lit up Victoria park with their 'every song a treat' set list. Highlights included ‘The Look’ and the band’s ever so dapper get up.

SBTRKT - Working the stragglers into a ‘we want more’ frenzy with their big drums and anthems, SBTRKT bring the hype for album number two, masked up and complete with on stage dragon.

Oneman and Jackmaster - Playing the somewhat inappropriate time slot of 4.15, the Can U Dance hit squad fired out bangers to a packed tent of early ravers.

John Wizards - The South African troupe put on late afternoon jingly sounding afrobeat vibes, making us think we were actually standing in Soweto, not Hackney.

Jamie XX - Unsurprisingly playing to one of the biggest crowds of the festival, the man XX packed out the Bugged Out tent with hits including his ‘You’ve Got The Love’ remix, as well as new treats.

Danny Brown - Danny Brown makes no compromises for the East London crowd, playing the showman throughout. Keep your eyes out for our exclusive interview with him.

25 bucks, momma braid your hair
Sit on the porch or do it on the stairs
Pull your hair out and you'll only get it twisted
Figured us maybe nice, nigga that's how we was livin

I'll not get old
If I did with my knees, if I grind on my teeth
I know
From the addict of me
From the bottoms of freaks and the way would it seems

I'm afraid that's in our fingers, couple gentile in the wrist
'Cause I feel I push that nice in-between her legs and twist
While she listen to that Ottie so I was smoking bong
On the phone, diazepam so that home girl Cory
Girlfriend worried cause her son's in a hurry
To see the state pen or a cemetery buried
Aren't we do our best? Better stay up
Nigga can't talk the street and I'm ready for them drugs
Going HAM when the house ain't takin on dangle
Daddy in and out and who turn that channel?
Niggas tryna oust you steppin on the back
Has another cigarette and a brown paper bag
Smokin joints, glad we're tryna get up on the street
Fuck them, put your terminal crash all day
I called a show for the booze and the bone
Said and done so many nights it was had to keep it goin

Now I'm trapped in a trap and the government forgettin
Wanna see me dead or life in a prison
In the system with that vision, only thing I add up
Fuck a fuck nigga tryna get a couple bucks

25 bucks so I'm a raise ya'll here
Set on the bullshit, do it on the stairs
Put your hair out and you'll only get it twisted
Figured us maybe nice, nigga that's how we was livin

I'll not get old
If I did with my knees, if I grind on my teeth
I know
From the addict of me
From the bottoms of freaks and the way would it seems

Irises, zig zag's good, man fastfood
If we're really ballin, mami call it chinese food
If you're really wonderin why these people got issues
'Cause the wet old and I'm fuckin like glue
On her knees at night, pray a miracle could do
Daddy shootin craps tryna win a pair of shoes
I've been growin my hair, bout to let mami twist it
I'm whilin with my friends, even got myself a biscuit
Only money you can win, nothing to lose
Now we stashin cracks in some hundred dollar shoes
Sittin at his crib, smoking swishers, getting faded
Told me hit my mami up cause we tryna get with it
What we gon do? See that levels dope mane
See if he got bricks, our money in our hand
Same boy jump, nigga same boy front
Me and Kev I'm tyin shit, I gotta be dropped off and homefree
And I don't mean to try, made that girl away forgettin
Wanna see a nigga then I'm locked in a prison
In the system in the vision, only thing add up
Fuck all niggas tryna get a couple bucks
Now I'm trapped in a trap and the government forgettin
Wanna see a nigga dead or life in a prison
In the system with that vision, only thing I add up
Fucked up cause a nigga tryna get a couple bucks

25 bucks so I'm a raise ya'll here
Set on the bullshit, do it on the stairs
Put your hair out and you'll only get it twisted
Figured us maybe nice, nigga that's how we was livin
