Hold on Steffi is playing? Completely missed that. Stage anyone?

Saw her in a sweaty basement in Manchester not long ago and it was punishingly good. Pure raw techno.

Genosys, zero - with Virginia.

Your recent experience bodes well for her ripping up one of my favourite places at Glastonbury.

i doubt Beat Hotel or Stonebridge will have much/anything of what you're after TBH.

Common is your best bet.

I have the same complaints, but I've accepted that Glastonbury isn't really the place for cutting edge tbh. it's a place where Eats Everything gets as many sets as he likes, the same DnB names appear every year playing the same stages as the previous year, and a hundred boring house DJs play the same stuff for hours on end. there's not going to be weird experimental stuff, there's not going to be bangin techno generally.

 

FWIW, I think Katharsis in Amsterdam in August (same weekend as Dekmantel) would be right up your street. 2 room warehouse, starts around 11, goes until 7am. 2 nights this year, Friday and Saturday.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Off to katharsis this year on the saturday after dek, can't wait. In other news, now arts house and hessle are in silver hayes, really opens up the thursday night in stonebridge, mastermix too big for a thursday there

[TiZuff]

Sorry to ask, but friends are coming to their first glastonbury and i want them to have a good time in the late hours, but this is not my scene at all! This is the type of stuff they love, i dont know what genre it is or who is playing at the festival who does it, but can anyone guide me to the right areas / djs ?

Maybe. I just thought that if he's got a whole host of biggish names that they might want to showcase it in the newly expanded Temple capacity.

Wherever and whatever, I've definitely got my mojo back after today's foolish fretting - and Steffi has done the job!

Ben, man! Glad you pulled yourself together. There won't be a bigger party on the whole of Earth that weekend so you'll be in the right place. Definitely feel there will be a couple more techno gems to come, too.

Absolutely! Thursday seems wide open this year. It's a shame it finishes early, but I cannot wait.

I just want Joris Voorn one year. It's not much to ask for, is it?

+1 for that. Really enjoyed the half of the essential mix he did recently (though whoever did the first half was absolutely dire).

Just spoke to Craig at fabric

no Craig Richards at glasto this year. Shame

[bennyhana22]

It will astonish no-one here to learn that I am finding the new Forest Swords record rather brilliant so far...

Hope his slot and stage in Silver Hayes is not crappy.

Ben

[Tuna]

Yep I thought it was excellent. Bit disappointed he didn't get a Jon Hopkins esque Glade slot and doubt I'll be in the mood to see him if his Silver Hayes slot is late night. :-(

[bennyhana22]

If it was, say, Gully at 9-ish or so, that might work. If it's late and up there when I intend to be in full dance mode, it might not happen...

Ben

[willsnewman]

Need to listen to this forest swords loon. Super keen for factory floor at the glade also. Fingers crossed they're not lost to a horrible clash.

[ghostdancer1]

anyone else trying for secret resale tickets?

I have mine but one of my best friends who has come the last few years didn't get tickets in October/resale, so I'm trying to get one this/next week for him, especially as he's my main dance/DJ gig partner!

I love how you've posted this as you were probably still at Fabric.

Sad news Craigy won't be on the farm though

Best of luck for your pal, gd. 

If the unthinkable happens and the croupier of Fate does not deal him a winning hand, this wonderful thread will provide you with dance partners. I guarantee it.

thanks, that is good to know

i'm sure we'll bump into each other at whatever banging techno acts The Common will surely announce

Apropos of nothing other than vinyl smugness, Compassion by Forest Swords sounding smashing on 180g clear wax...

Anyone else on here going to John Talabot at the Pickle Factory this Sunday?

No sadly. Only night left before Glastonbury is probably Chapter 10 the bank holiday weekend (if I'm good).

[Memory Man]

Would anyone be interested in one solitary spare ticket for Black Madonna, Shanti Celeste & Ellen Allien at XOYO this friday?

For the bargain price of £6

I'm still going

Oh if there was any way I could make it work I would have it. Was there last Friday and it was fun. Add in the other names

Did you manage to catch him live on his tour recently? Bloody brilliant 

[OBface]

No I didn't. Going to have to make it work at Glastonbury (for now turning a blind eye to the mother of all clashes Saturday night).

Sounds like a great time and stage for him to be on (Clash dependant)! Going to give his new record a proper listen now.
