Digs and Whoosh on a Thursday night is on my must do list. Saw them last festival same night same place and it was ace

The wee things that have caught my eye and made me very happy:

Digs & Whoosh on Thurs in Block 9:

They were the DiY sound system and are a _huge_ part of dance music history.

Taiko meantime every day in the Astrolabe:

Japanese drumming is pretty much Kodo's domain but this lot are ok

Pretty much the entirety of the Beats Hotel line up is ace but Beats International DJ set? Ooooohhhhhh.

And DJ Yoda and the Transiberian Marching Band - one of my fave DJ's undoubtedly causing yet more brain breaking in Hell on Friday....

God bless the complete nutters. (Can't get the last vid to embed sorry)

[dub-tech]

+1 for digs and whoosh - will be a great way to get things started

[preacherman_1]

too many too name especially dance line up wise, they definetly have someone new working the bookings this year, it is spot on!

really looking forward to catching psychemagik somewhere and also time & space machine and 65daysofstatic amongst a few others.

Martin Stephenson has played in my mates flat with no more than 4 people in it. I too will be watching him.

[James Bolivar]

i honestly can't remember if they were in the first announcement (or if people would consider them a 'lesser known' act) but Mount Kimbie playing twice on the Friday - early on the Sonic stage and then late on William's Green. amazing minimal / trippy / 'post-dubstep' (Wikipedia's words, not mine) act that put on a fantastic live show

i promised myself i wouldn't take too many drugs too early on at Glastonbury as it has messed me up in previous years but... for this, i think i may have to make the exception

I had heymoonshaker in to play the Watershed recently they bought along John Fairhurst and jammed after their set. Live beatbox blues n dubstep.

If that happens on site be there I was buzzing for weeks after simply amazing

[DJL]

Some great suggestions on here - Other Tribe, Psychemagik, Maceo Plex, Digs and Whoosh + Adam Freeland particuarly being to my taste. All added as options to the clashfinder (whether I manage to actually see them or not who knows?)

[whisty]

Loving the recommends especially the electro dance related stuff that are real bands and not DJ's. Bit behind the time here, any more tips would be great.

They are one of my two absolutely must sees of the weekend (along with 65daysofstatic) caught them in '11 on a small stage in Shangri La (I think) and they were absolutely fantastic.

[Neil C]

The view have been added (Sunday Williams Green) their 1st album was superb, well worth a watch

[Calvin Klein]

Violentango!

[shoogie woogie]

Willy Mason on Williams Green on the Saturday night.

Hot Feet on the Bandstand on the saturday afternoon.

[carlosj]

Yes, Martin Stephenson for me too, defo

[ancient_one]

Bramble FM are back in the Glebeland field - one of the daftest & funniest things I have seen.

[Slugworth]

The Pharcyde

[FloorFiller]

Can anyone confirm this? I can't see them on the line up.

[matt_berr]

not sure how 'lesser known' Steve Mason is but his latest album is the best thing I have heard in ages, having read this article for the green man festival I also like his world view:

Martha and Rufus Wainwright playing Williams Green on Saturday afternoon definitely looks a bit of a hidden gem.

After listening to Steve Lamaq on 6 Music last night i'll be going to see 'Drenge' at Williams green early on the saturday. Only heard the one song but sound like a loud heavy blues rock band, perfect for getting out of that early afternoon daze!!

[shoogie woogie]

And he clashes with Nick Cave & Smashing Pumpkins. It's the single worst clash that's ever occured in the history of thought.

His new album's perfect.
