I don't know whether to go this year.. I'm put off by it for some reason. Usually go to either Subliminal Sessions or Release Yourself at Pacha, but trying to 'do different' this trip. Has anyone been and what are your opinions if so?

Tbh I think the line-ups are quite weak most weeks this year. The first year Tongy was having guests like Deep Dish, Tenaglia, Humphries etc and they seem to have gone steadily downhill. He probably realises he doesn't need the big-name guests on a Friday cos it will always draw the crowds in cos it's on a Friday night. I find that on Fridays/Saturdays @ Pacha you tend to get a lot of people who aren't there for the music and the DJs and are just there cos it's Pacha so sometimes the atmosphere can be a bit flat.
That said I have had some really good nights there and will probably be there next Friday and definitely in September for JLC and Danny Howells.
I'd probably see who's playing the weeks you're there and then make a decision, if it's someone you're not overly bothered about I think there's better nights @ Pacha.
