This will be the year I finally go inside a venue. Always put off by the queues and sheer mass of people in the SEC. Group always ends up bailing pretty quickly, usually for beat hotel or the chai tea tent.  The number of times I have begun the NYCD wait...

Same for me. As last year was my first year I pretty much refused to queue for anything but this year I'll need to change that. 

It wasn't until I came home and googled the temple when I realised I really should have waited in the queue for it.

Saw Blawan in the LU many moons ago. It was perfect. Haven't been in since.

Definitely needs techno in there.

Shit a brick, Blawan in there would be unbelievable.

I hate you a little bit, Untz...

LU is just as great inside than it looks on the outside. Also for those put off by the queue, it usually moves pretty quickly.

If it makes you feel any better, I queued up 45 minutes and he was only on for an hour (and I missed the beginning 15 minutes of it). Probably not worth it, but it was a Thursday.

Go to NYC Downlow early one day on the Wednesday/Thursday when there won't be any queues and get a moustache (or just buy one from the pound shop before you go. You can then walk in with almost no queue every night as long as you have the moustache with you.

Didn't think of this until 4am on Monday morning last year!

I'd still have taken 45 minutes of that. Love him.

Karenn live would be fun for one of the hour slots on Arcadia

As long as you give your money to charity still

Saw Blawan play at Bestival in 2012? Was the set of the weekend, and it was a late afternoon set to a fairly empty tent, I think it was just after he had released Why They Hide Their Bodies Under My Garage, it was pure taps aff when he dropped that, think it actually ended up being a bit of Pariah and Blawan B2B in the end. My group of mates still talk about the set 5 years on.

This is what it's all about, a very worthy cause too. As far as I'm aware Downlow raise a whack every year 

But getting a tache on the Wednesday is definitely beneficial, if you don't lose it that is

Going to dust that one off later, what a tune.

Shhhhhh don't give away the secret! But seriously, buy one on the door rather than from a pound shop as all monies go to HIV charities.

EDIT: See Tuna and Mezhyp got in already.

Hi everyone

Just saw the opportunity and grabbed it...to post the 4000th post on the best thread on the 'net.

Have loved being in here since 2015 and can't wait to meet up with some of you in just a few weeks!

Ben

[Matt - Ed Banger Records]

To celebrate 4001, I've been listening to the new Octo Octa album today, been finding it very enjoyable indeed! 

[OBface]

I'm edging towards my 1000th post and determined to make it on here...

Seen that London Elektricity has been listed as a TBC. Before I go getting all excited do any of you more knowledgeable electronica types know if he's likely to play his stuff or just (just?!) a DJ set?

Love his albums but have no idea if that's what I'd actually get!

He'll be DJing as he has been doing the last few years in various places across the weekend. He would be sure to drop some of his own.  If he's touring a 'live' set around the time then also expect that.

Oh man this year is already vintage 

[ghostdancer1]

lovely stuff, I see that's from a reply on twitter.

Beat Hotel maybe?

Edited March 28, 2017 by ghostdancer1

[Mezhyp1]

Nope don't know where just know Thursday. I'd guess Beat Hotel, or maybe Stonebridge as part of something bigger. (he's done b2b with Pangaea before, maybe some Hessle Audio + guests )

Just had a gool old play of this at the mention of Blawan. On a public computer with earphones losing the fight not to jig about like a total loon...June can{t come soon enough

Also, what are people's thoughts on DJ Marky? He's been jetting about all over the shop and a quick google suggests he hasn't played the farm since 2005.  I've not seen him in too long....and an evening slot would be lush, outside maybe arcadia/glade. That gives me fond memories of Global Gathering 2007!
