[Matt - Ed Banger Records]

Guessing it's the Bloc Weekender? If so I've never been but the line up looks cracking - been to the Bugged Out weekender a couple of times, I'm guessing it's a bit like those but a bit more 'grown up' if that's the case I should imagine it's great 

[Tuna]

Yeah I really fancy Bloc, but might just sack it off and use the funding to go to Dekmantel instead.

[Matt42]

Could we please get some of the berghain lot at Glastonbury this year

Got given a ticket to Osgut Ton at the Hydra last night - I know a promoter so I go there a lot

Ben Klock, Marcel Dettman, Nick Hoppner, Answer Code Request etc - incredible techno, great for 4am/5am in the late night areas! Gotta be at Glastonbury, incredible stuff.

Klock Dettman b2b is always one of the best parties around, they stormed WOW in 2014, I see no reason they wouldn't come back

Absolutely crazy, definitely needs to happen again

[FuzzyDunlop]

Klock / Dettmann are great.

Klock's essential mix from a few weeks ago was a good one. If you haven't, you should check it out.

Few mates of mine are going down to WHP for NYD, it's not my favourite venue in the world and I'm going down for jungle next weekend, so choosing to stay in Glasgow, it's a great line up though, well worth the £45 for a ticket anyway

I would have gone if it wasn't at Store street.

In 2013 when I missed out on a Glastonbury ticket, I did awakenings festival in Amsterdam. It was a good festival (was only a day festival then).

If you have never been, go to Awakenings Gashouder in Amsterdam. It is the best clubbing venue I have ever been to.

I've been to AMS a couple of times and heard of that place, but never been, watched a couple of videos on YouTube last night and it looks pretty radical 

Floating Points is djing in the Hillhead Bookclub in Glasgow on NYD, pretty big bar with good sounds there's always good music on in it, starts quite early though and licence till 2, reckon that until midnight and then to subclub for Kerri Chandler all night long is the perfect way to bring in the new year 

[FuzzyDunlop]

Gashouder is only on 3/4 weekends a year. NY, Easter, Amsterdam Dance Event week.

This will be the first year I haven't been clubbing at new year since 2003. I can't really afford it.

[Winslow Leach]

I think the most important question is: when did Matt42 become such a hardcore dance head?

[Matt - Ed Banger Records]

I concur Winslow, I didn't know Matt42 was a fan of techno? Every day is a school day around here! I would imagine all of the acts he named in his previous post will be playing at Glastonbury somewhere, assuming you have a ticket Matt you will not be disappointed I'm sure.

[Tuna]

My bet is a chemical-induced epiphany

[Winslow Leach]

Anyone been to Lost Village before? Lineup is shaping up rather nicely.

Haven't, but I like the sounds of it, line up is definitely shaping up nicely too, and I'd imagine there's a few more decent acts to be added 

[Mezhyp1]

Essential mix of the year shortlist just revealed 

Ben Klock, DJ EZ, Maceo Plex, Nero and Tale of Us

I haven't heard DJ EZ or Nero, but there can really only be one winner for me, Ben Klock 10/10/15, absolutely tremendous stuff, everyone must check it out who hasn't already

[Guest]

Any chance of The Penelopes turning up next year?

[Mezhyp1]

Has anyone been to digital in Newcastle? Shindig on NYD is a game changers, Ben Klock, Jooris Voorn, Pan Pot, George FitzGerald to name a few 

[Matt42]

EZ is complete shite, either Maceo Plex or Tale of Us should win

You can't have listened to Klocks then

I've been twice, they sell glass bottles behind the bar which becomes a problem throughout the night as you end up standing on an unbroken one in the crowd and nearly breaking your ankle or the floor just turns into broken shards of glass. I quite like the club though, albeit the two times I went were to see Martin Garrix and W&W...

I'd heard amazing things about him and I've seen videos of him doing all this sick mixing. So I went to see him and he was awful, probably because I'm not a fan of garage

I have.. And maybe it's just me being biased since I'm a big fan of both maceo plex and TOU

 

also, I admit I was not always a dance head  things change and people change tastes all the time.

had a friend who was really into house / techno, showed me a few acts and took me to a few events and I guess I just warmed to it

also this years Glastonbury I spent a lot longer in the dance tents etc

Did you do the Holy Trinity techno fest that was Friday night at Arcadia, Matt?

One of my favourite ever festival dance sessions. Just phenomenal, right under the belly of the spider and my first experience of Arcadia. I so hope that there's a line up that ticks my boxes for 2016.

I was wondering, have they ever had anyone play a live set at Arcadia at Glastonbury? I'm guessing it might be too much of a faff, as they'd have to set up different equipment, rather than the seamless transition from DJ to DJ that they have now. Just thinking that there would be a few people who would be amazing playing live from the heart of the spider...

I don't know for sure if they've had live acts, but Arcadia has changed over the years, and it did used to have a stage, so if be surprised if they'd never had a live act.
