Completely agree with you here. When I was college age back in the late 90's / early 00's, there was a pretty big rave scene in my area. They started around 9:00 pm, and went until the next morning.
The vibe of those parties is completely absent from these middle of the day festivals. They're just...weird. A slammin' techno set at 3:00pm is so out of place.

I used to really enjoy playing really dirty psy in the middle of the day, but slowed right down - like -10%. I loved the effect personally, but I did get kicked off the decks quite often..
I can understand that. The shift from raves to daytime 'festivals' basically killed the whole scene for me, the mood was all wrong (not to mention it was way too bright and often way too hot). I realise you can still find night raves but by the time the next one came around after a string of daytime events I'd lost interest.
Still have a giant playlist of live sets as my coding music though. I'll check out your link. :)
