Great shout, completely forgot that AWB would have been classed as Disco, my love for them has been re-ignited. It's a shame that Spotify doesn't have the full albums though (Spotify is the only way I listen to music as I am a poor student). it's only a about 10 tracks per album, ah well, still good to scout out some forgotten classics.

I had a quick look and didn't see that anyone had done this already. Here is a spotify playlist based on the set they did at Galway Arts Fest in July 2012. The Rockness setlist from the same year is a bit shorter, but has the same songs. I've gone for the longer version as they are headlining.

Chic Playlist

Probably pretty representative of what they will play Chic has been used where possible, live where possible. Best known artists versions where I can't find a Chic one on Spotify.

Really looking forward to Friday night!

I used to be the only Disco chick out of my group of friends but that changed after I dragged them to see Gwen Dickey in the big dance tent in 2004 (I think)

Instant converts, mainly amongst the men it must be said :)

Earth Wind and Fire were amazing at Bestival last year I thought, saw tons of youngsters grooving away, was lovely

Also saw Chic at Bestival a few years ago, absolutely unreal but the crowd were a bit nonplussed

Just saw on the Nile Rodgers facebook page pictures of him rehearsing with Sting and Eric Clapton, wander if he'll bring these to Glasto? (hopefully not Sting).

P.S I checked out both of your Ibiza mixes on mixcloud Denz, great stuff, love funky house. Planning on doing a few mixes myself and at the moment I'm teaching myself how to beatmap etc. and it's a lot harder than it seems.

I tried to get my friends on board for this on Monday and they so weren't! What else could you possibly want to do on the Friday but dance to disco at West Holts? Baffled but still have two months and a few days to persuade them...

Love love love larry, rip

We've stayed at the former owner/money of the paradise garages b&b in NYC

A really good read is his book my life and the paradise garage by mel cheren, it is the early days of that era, with all the dis and excesses, thoroughly recommend it, it's funny, heartbreaking heartwarming and interesting

I think we have all had or been to a paradise garage

    • Not necessarily but it should be, Download have a habit of messing it uo when others get the bookings on point. Good Charlotte I doubt are playing 3rd down and that too 3 that day while dreamy is too strong. I think you'd have one another day to help sell weekend tickets. I also doubt Papa Roach play. 
    • Here's a bit of a wild stab, few placings may be off, and for all I know half of these won't actually be touring next year, but screw it, it's a bit of fun   Pyramid: Sabrina Carpenter, Phoebe Bridgers, TBA (Florence + The Machine), Garbage, The Last Dinner Party, Interpol, Alex James Britpop Classical Other: Chase & Status, Teddy Swims, Clairo, The Kooks, Zara Larsson, Kingfishr, Sports Team, Orbital West Holts: Robyn, Baby Keem, De La Soul, Deltron 3030, JID, Dua Saleh, kwn, Daniela Latila Woodsies: Bonobo, Darkside, TBA (Tame Impala), Laufey, Warmduscher, Wednesday, The Lottery Winners, The Royston Club, Florence Road Park: Patti Smith, Super Furry Animals, Slayyyter, The Cardigans, Skye Newman, Kelly Lee Owens, Teen Jesus & The Jean Teasers   Pyramid: Harry Styles, The xx, Richard Ashcroft, The Pogues, Jessie J, Sigrid, Travis Other: Rosalia, Sombr, Mitski, Alex Warren, Holly Humberstone, Cat Burns, Pale Waves, Yard Act West Holts: Basement Jaxx, Elyanna, Clipse, L’Imperatrice, Nation of Language, Jim Legxacy, Yazmin Lacey, RIP Magic Woodsies: Suede, Chvrches, Bleachers, MUNA, The Cribs, Keo, Bleech 9:3, The Lilacs Park: MARINA, Magdalena Bay, Jacob Alon, TBA (Lily Allen performs West End Girl), Getdown Services, Isaac Wood, Snail Mail, Madra Salach Pyramid: Sam Fender, Hozier, David Byrne, Cher, Obongjayar, David Gray, Billy Ocean Other: Doja Cat, Deftones, Addison Rae, Ren, Viagra Boys, Maisie Peters, The Reytons, Hard Life West Holts: Kano, Thievery Corporation, Angine De Poitrine, Thee Sacred Souls, Brooke Combe, Sasha Keable, Master Peace Woodsies: The Wombats, Metronomy, Geese*, Dry Cleaning, EsDeeKid, Sienna Spiro, Cowboy Hunters, Radio Free Alice Park: Big Thief, Laura Marling, MJ Lenderman, Richard Dawson, Oklou, Maruja, Dead Dads Club, Ratboys   *There's always one band booked for Woodsies that ends up being massively under-billed and gets shut down really early. They'd be better off playing somewhere like Other sub, but I could see the G getting them to play a smaller stage while it's still possible
    • Another Kraftwerk one for me today, as just back from seeing them.
