Is that not part of The Levels? Ben

B2B that with The Girl With The Sun In Her Head and oooft! Ben

One of the (many, many) reasons my night at FOLD in Feb was so fantastic. Stickers on phone cameras and everyone just there for the music. Wish it was like that everywhere in the U.K. Ben

The Astoria was such a good venue. Ben

I can't tell you how utterly depressing I find this picture! For me this is just about the antithesis of everything I want when I go out dancing 🤪. Ben

That's got Truth Stage written all over it for one set, at least. Ben

Yeah, this - he was great for a sunset set on West Holts. I'm presuming this appearance has to be 'just' a DJ set or he'd be listed on one of the five main stages on the poster. I have no idea what his DJ sets are like 🤪. Ben

And over the last 3 T Days, at least, I think many/most/all of us have had that terrifying feeling. Live every moment, team. This ain't for forever, for any of us. Ben x

Fail to watch Lankum live at your peril. They are astonishing and one of probably only two must-sees for me so far from the poster. Ben

👆🏽 this with bells on. The poster is never especially relevant for me - ironically, given the sea of disappointment on here, it's probably got more for me this year than most years! But it has reminded me just how much I love seeing stuff in Williams Green and, to a lesser extent, the now retired Rabbit Hole. I guess I'll feel that even more this year. Hope the RH gets a proper live band replacement for The Park. Ben

Oh man! Block9 tourists notwithstanding, and no matter how much fun I had in Silver Hayes last year, I couldn't keep away from that bit of the SEC for all of the first three nights!! Ben

Well go on, then! 😆 There may be this absurd thing of not mentioning Discord (I mean...), but you can at least spill the beans on interesting intel from there!* Ben *Please can it be FloPo!

Some fab artists in there, MadDog. Including some minimal techno big hitters! I'd watch Jane Fitz anywhere! Ben

Yeah, like you'd know... Pffttt Ben

Oh yes! Top class electro with a real techy side. Where do I sign...? In fact, after her festival-topping set on Lonely Hearts last year, please can I have Helena Hauff b2b Stingray on IICON? Ben

Got to be time that Oscar Mulero plays the Farm, surely? And I saw Mor Elian just before COVID and she was all manner of glitchy goodness. She would smash a set on Genosys. Ben

That was a spectacular evening! Ben

I'm fine with that. Evolution, not revolution. As long as it feels like the ol' Green Monster, I'll be a happy boy. But, most of all, please, please give me that stellar sound back. I still have no idea how the sound on the bus ended up being so utterly ordinary, compared to the OG. Ben

What. A. Set. That. Was 😮 Ben

Thanks for sharing, @mjfromthelane - really helpful to have honest, unfavourable reviews, as well as all recounting great nights out. That sounds dreadful, and as someone with the attention span of a gnat and no patience (just patients, ahthangyoo), I would have been very, very annoyed! Ben

Sofia on West Holts should be a hoot. Her set on Sonic was absolutely bonkers. I'm sure she was completely off her tits and it was joyous! Ben

Beautiful report, pal, laced with nostalgia and memories of a life well danced. Ben x

Partok is soooo good! From the very brief mention of Genosys by Gideon on NTYS, my impression is that they've managed to, essentially, refurbish and rebuild it. So, I think we're going to see it in all its previous glory. Just the thought of seeing the fantastic, mind-melting video-mapping on the top of the structure (I particularly love the rotating air conditioner fans...) when spangled is giving me goosebumps. Ben

For sheer feel-good, big room, everyone smiling techno, Signor Sangiuliano is a lot of fun. So it would be great to see him on the Farm too. Ben

As @turkey twizzler says, the bus will be a distant memory! The Big Green Monster™️ is one of my favourite ever places to dance. The vibe of the space and the sound at the bus were always very mediocre for me, whereas I've seen some of my all-time best sets at Genosys. I'm looking at you, HAAi... Can't wait to hear what you think of it and share the dancefloor with you. Ben
