I think its a bit bonkers that LCD Soundsystem and Faithless are on at the same time. I would imagine those who would want to watch one would also want to watch the other. And those who would not watch one would also not want to watch the other. But I may be wrong!

Bonobo and Four Tet absolutely. I saw Bonobo in Plymouth the other week and they were excellent.

Sort of crossing genres here but check out Quantic as they're great.

I know they're not playing so this is a little off topic but for chilled music definitely have a listen to Emancipator, you'll most likely recognise a few of his chowns, and they're perfect for a lazy afternoon.

Ha cool, me too, sort of, get to Barcelona on Wednesday for the Mobilee Party at City Hall, Sonar Thursday, Friday, Saturday, flights home Sunday night, work Monday and Tuesday, Glastonbury Wednesday to Monday...and hopefully not a coffin on Tuesday.

Some cool stuff on at Sonar this year. Particularly looking forward to the Lucky Me showcase, Claude VonStroke, Robert Koch, BFlecha, Sandwell District, Hudson Mohawke and of course the new Chemical Brothers set.

Thought I bump this thread to see if anyone had any electronics recommendations this year. Highlight last year was again holy f**k who I saw twice, even missed the Germany to watch these. A sensible choice in hindsight! Bloody brilliant they were

Liking Mirrors at the moment, anyone got any other suggestions.........?

This year's picks have to include James Blake on the Park and Nicolas Jaar on West Holts. West Holts also has Jamie Woon, Hidden Orchestra, Little Dragon and Hercules Love Affair. Brandt Brauer Frick is electronica played by a full orchestra with ballet dancers!

As has been mentioned Caribou is excellent, however someone you have likely not heard of is Pretty Lights. I caught his set last year in The Glade Lounge before Dave Seaman and I was very impressed so much so I now have the majority of his stuff, he is playing Sunday night at The Glade.

This is his best known track, Finally Moving (2006):

This a more recent tune, Out Of Time (2010):

thursday's blend of house and bass music supplied by maya jane coles and julio bashmore should be decent!

there's no doubt that sunset / darkness slots from James Blake and Caribou on the park will be very special if you're a fan.

one you might not be familiar with, east dance sunday, Azari & III Live. This will be great, they do a mixture of old school house music with live vocals from two talented singers / mc's and some electro/techno tracks too with less vocals.

    • Considering how popular of a booking Scooter have been I think they'd go down well
    • I mean I think unless you are camped in a particular bit which apparently you just get no sleep i feel it would be better setup to travel in from a hotel each day and back. Ah there is so many downfalls to it for me, I think the Download main stage area is so much better and that's coming from me. If you're camped in green to go round all the time and out for lidl and even water is stupid!
    • Did you camp or go for a hotel? I looked into it briefly and seems easy enough to get back to Nuremberg.
    • Been last time in 2018 when the festival was happening in parque Bela vista. ls the new location good for such a big festival? What's the temperature in the evening near Tejo? Should we bring a raincoat or a jacket?
