    Not my usual scene at all but I've been listening through the Block 9 Soundcloud this afternoon and really enjoying the Honey Dijon NYC Downlow mix. Anything in that vein announced yet? Or do I need to wait for the SE Corner lineup drops to start?

    A lot of specific dance genre terminology goes right over my head so I never know what I'm looking for or how to find it on the posters. 

    Just had a flick through it and for the most part that disco/house vibe might have to hold off a little longer for some other announcements- I’d recommend Artwork to listen to but people on here have told me he’s not too up to scratch these days 

    however Silver Hayes overall might be a good place to start, it might be a *bit* heavier in places but overall it’s still house . I recommend TSHA (just Silver Hayes set though, the Arcadia one she’ll deffo veer heavy, she has a cracking mixmag set on YouTube which is more where I think she’ll take that slot) , Jaguar , Crazy P soundsystem are both Similar en masse
     

     maaaybe Eclair Fifi , India Jordan and Denis Sulta and Eats Everything (his Defected Virtual Set in particular)  at a push but that’s getting into the territory of just banging house, though you might still enjoy!

    But none of them specify that they're live, while some do specify that they are DJ sets. Surely it's either going to be one or the other, and so if it's not a DJ set... logic dictates that it's a live set.

    Four Tet's live stuff I don't think would fully translate on the Spider though, I'm not adverse to it but that's got to be a DJ set still in my opinion. But I agree it's strange that they've taken them off, although Ishmael Ensemble is known for being a band so maybe it's just to distinguish that one?

    Oh really? Tbh feel like them rallying around and trying to get them taken down gives it a certain level of validity...

    Wonder which bit is 'incorrect' 

    judging by today maybe the 'Carl Cox' bit 😂

    That's not techn......

     

     

     

     

     

    ....leave it, boy, leave it.

    Ben

    Hahaha apologies I got annoyed at not finding a snooker related Genre-pun so just went for something vague 😂

     

    having said that, why did I not think of a 147 breaks set !! missed a trick there 

  5. The Glasto Feed getting told to take down the poster from their site then uploading a full article on it, is the correct level of shit-housery I love to see

    TSHA stands out quite a bit, I'd assume she'll go quite techno for the Spider

    Her usual stuff is pretty melodic, but think she can pack a punch if she wants to.

    I can see some form of TSHA > Jon Hopkins > Four Tet  night emerging

    Can see these guys being paired together too

    Calvin Harris > CC b2b C&S 

    Nina > Amelie

     

    would deffo put Kurupt > DJ EZ as well

    I thought dance acts mostly just did 1 live set, then loads of dj sets extra if they decide to?

    We can maybe expect Prospa Live on IICON then ??

     

    edit: obviously massively wishful thinking but I kinda expected them to be on Silver Hayes and don’t know where else they’d be this year, would be a shame if they aren’t there at all

    I'm new to the dance scene. I recently got into it because my baby likes it. She bounces like crazy when she hears a good beat 😅 I don't know many acts from the Silver Hayes lineup. Can anyone recommend 3 or 4 entry level standout acts? Cheers in advance 🙂👍

    TSHA played a really nice House set to kick things of at Lost Village last year so if she plays the same sorts thing I’d recommend her

    Gorgon City are massively popular , deeper house but also very accessible/charty

    Jaguar has a radio 1 residency so I can imagine her stuff to be quite entry level but i’m just speculating there 

    If you’re looking on the DnB side, Hybrid minds and Wilkinson are very popular and if that’s your thing they’re both great for introducing you to the genre 

    Unsure where Denis Sulta will go with his set but can sure put on a party so I’d keep an eye out for him as well

    Light on techno in the Silver Hayes announcement. Perhaps the Beat Hotel replacement will cater to that? 

    Yeah I never had Silver Hayes down as a techno area, the best/worst way I tried to describe to the newcomers in our group is that it’s  ‘entry level electronic music’ in that, if you’ve never been involved in the dance scene or it’s never been your thing- you could wander through and find some *great* DnB, House (and the slightly heavier side in the likes of Haai and others) and everything in between but it’s not too niche or brutal , and it seems like the new organisers have continued that trend

    Just had a quick look at Piri & Tommy

    Anyone know anything about them, just seen a couple of videos on youtube and they are really good. Anyone know what the live act is like? 

    There's a couple of live videos that are pretty mellow, but looks like their actual releases are a bit more banging.

    I'm digging both styles to be honest.

     

    she gets a lot of bad rep for not being great live - they're/she's big on tiktok and there was a video where she wasn't fantastic. but from what i can tell half their rise has been due to her being an onlyfans girl (no judgement here, do what ya gotta do and it's clearly working for her) which has given her a bit of a boost in publicity- the guy seems decent musically and it's all catchy Pink Pantheress stuff but i think they're being billed more/higher than they should.  Don't think i'll be personally rushing to see them but entirely a mystery on how big a crowd they'll pull what with the whole tiktok thing

    I heard some other outlandish stuff last night that I'm not going to repeat. Again, it came from within the organisation but it's so nuts, it can't be true.

    have a huge fly attached to the crane that goes round - and the spider eats it at the end of each set and it reveals the next act,  who was in the fly the whole time

    This is a studio project with arthur and another guy who isnt otherwise previously well known

    it debuted earlier this month in london (i went) it was kind of like an extended dj set including some of their own recent as yet unreleased music. Its mainly disco-y house / edits style. It was fine but ive seen artwork better

    ahhh gotcha! thanks for the heads up, i'll still hopefully pop through there as i've never managed to catch him meself
