Pretty sure I'll be at Overmono at IICON - I've joined the whastapp group. Safe travels all and have a cracker 🙂

To be honest Ben, if I was on my own I'd be with you, however I have a sneaky suspicion the missus isn't going to miss John Talabot for the world, so I'm a bit scuppered....

So looking like for me late night wise.... Thurs (probably my biggest clash in terms of being opposite ends of the site) can't decide between Marshall Jefferson > I. Jordan > Giant Swan > Talaboman (I do like the Thursday vibe around San Remo/Beat Hotel, and love John Talabot) or Marshall Jefferson > Deena Abdelwahed > The Carry Nation > Sedef Adasi (some great techno which is more up my street and couple people that I have never seen and should I be making to most of it, but then it is far away for a Thurs and I will be spending a lot of time there over the weekend...dunno) Fri - Four Tet (Park) > Overmono IICON > see if I can get into the Temple for end of VTSS and then FJAKK > Cinthie / Freakenstein Sat - get to NYC Downlow early for Virginia > Roi Perez/Todd Edwards > OK Williams > Partok > Pangaea x Pariah Sun - Bicep > Daniel Avery x VTSS > Job Jobse > Batu ... then 6:30am coach home 😴

If it is a bit chilly at least we won't have to deal with boiling hot cans of beer hey...

Did I hear the Temple changed layout slightly in 2019? Last time I was there it was a full queue system around the edge...but is it a bit more open now?

Have to say San Remo has pulled a few surprises and put some spanners in the works with getting over to the SE corner early...

Freddy K would be fantastic on Genosys - he played a cracking set at the white hotel back in January Will also be checking out Bonobo's new live set in Manc next week. The last time he was on West Holts, I think 2014?, was bliss!

Ahh can't wait! Got a feeling there will be a load of the Ilian Tape crew on IICON over the weekend hopefully

Hello - been a while since I've been on here but looks like it's still going strong. Area lineups dance wise so far have been pretty strong I think Great to see some chat about Job Jobse too, caught him twice in Manchester towards the end of last year and both sets were superb (and I lean more towards techno). Hoping he gets a solo set somewhere...sunrise would be perfect for him over in the SE corner (anyone remember him and Ben UFO b2b closing The Temple Sunday morning 2016?!) Didn't make 2019 so haven't experienced IICON but it seems perfect for the likes of skee mask/stenny/batu...🤞
