Despacio!

[Yesiamaduck]

makes me think i was lucky to go to the manc one then!

mind you was always going to be better than a london crowd

they will probably realise they can't just drop obscure stuff the entire time at a festival. another track i remember from the night we went was Harry Thumann - underwater!

they played a bit of rock early on as well, it is nice and varied! i agree tho it was at a hall with a wooden floor, quite a lot different to a tent!

The is no such thing as a good crowd in London

I've watched a few videos and this looks really good. Any indication of what time it'll be on from and till?

We know 7 hour slots and their FB says they're playing "3 nights" so I'd have thought anywhere from 7-2 to 10-5 is possible.

I thought it would be something like that. And it's only the three of them, or will they invite other Djs?

[Frankly Mr Shankly]

This has got me excited.

[Memory Man]

only the three of them, no guests.

jarvis was at the manchester saturday one, in the crowd!

anyone expecting anything remotely 2manydj's will be disappointed

Ah really? Is it just more relaxed? Basic mixing?

I went to the friday at the roundhouse and i loved it... but as well as banging house i also like old soul or disco and i think that's important. At the risk of stating the extremely obvious it means slowly in spanish so don't expect banging house! When you've been on your feet all day i think the slowly building tempo could be great - I'm delighted.

Here's the review of the despacio area at Sonar, so i'd imagine it will be similar at Glasto. 6 hours of disco!

'Heading into this year's Sónar, a lot of excitement swirled around DESPACIO, a supposed "new experience in clubbing" put together by James Murphy, 2manydjs, and the renowned McIntosh audio brand. Basically, a dedicated DESPACIO area was set up in an isolated zone of Sónar by Day, which featured Murphy and 2manydjs playing records for six hours each day, mostly of the disco variety. The space itself was adorned simply, as it was essentially just a dark room with some kitschy, space-themed decorations and a giant disco ball hanging from the ceiling. Of course, the real star of DESPACIO was the custom soundsystem, a series of seven imposing speaker stacks that encircled the dancefloor. As promised, the 50,000-watt system sounded fantastic, and the whole environment honestly harkened back to the glory days of clubbing in late-'70s/early-'80s New York. It sounds cliché, but DESPACIO was truly all about the music and the experience of being in that room, as the DJs were somewhat hidden away on one side of the room, and were all but invisible to the majority of the crowd. With nothing to stare at, and nothing to play with—camera and cell phone use was discouraged—those in attendance were free to let loose, dance, and feel the music, an opportunity that often fails to materialize in many of today's clubs. The lights and decor did add to the room's overall appeal, but they weren't over the top, and Sónar also maintained a strict capacity inside the room, so things never became too crowded. As such, DESPACIO was always bustling, but never felt oppressive or uncomfortable. Although those who weren't disco lovers might have wished for a more varied soundtrack—things did get more banging toward the end of each day—DESPACIO was truly an ideal clubbing environment, and Sónar's organizers definitely deserve some major kudos for helping to make it happen.'

I really like the idea of the DJ's being hidden. The fact people go to parties/raves to stare at/over analyse the DJ's every move grinds my gears. All about having a good dance to the music, as it should be.

I was just about to ask has anybody heard the times. I'm sure to make it at some point then.

[LondonTom]

Sounds like something to definitely check out then!! Watched the video earlier, seems impressive!

[DJL]

With those times i'm a bit worried it might get RAMMED after the headliners - may head over early or at 1 for an awesome last hour?

[rexclark]

Really looking forward to this!

According to the Glasto site it's actually Thurs, Fri and Sat. Wish it started and ended a bit later, will be very difficult to get in after the headliners. Although certainly leaves Sunday for any 2manydjs and/or James Murphy secret sets

Won't they have done enough for one weekend?

[GlastoSimon]

That's a shame, thought it would be later than that. Ah well, will still be great

[marketh]

Nah

This has sorted out my Thursday night quite nicely though.

[CaledonianGonzo]

Rats - had been planning to drop in on the Sunday evening...

[Trebor]

Me too. Looks like I'm finishing on the Wookies after all then.

[WS_Jack_III]

It starts on Thursday, sweet!

[CaledonianGonzo]

On Thursday it's going to be rammed and queued to the point of it not even been worth bothering with.

[Ruwise]

This definitely! If you want a chance of getting in Thursday you'd have to be very early.

[WS_Jack_III]

I didn't think of that.
