Be surprised if Palms Trax wasn't at Beat Hotel or Stonebridge. Excited to see Ben's thoughts... MCDE next? 

That would be the dream for me and my mates! I saw that thing on Resident Advisor he did and he suffers from anxiety issues so is quite selective in his gigs and doesn't ever take too much on. I can't see him doing Glastonbury for the money that'd be on offer with that being the case. Shame.

So...

I've listened to the whole of the Antal set and, in fact, had already listened to the Hunee set.

Guys, guys, guys...

That they are terrific mixers is not in any doubt. But. Awww man, it's just too flipping major key for me! I can't lie. I like my music minor. Pretty much all of it! I listen to loads of electronica, ambient, drone etc. and almost all of my favourite stuff is minimal, glitchy and minor in key. I guess it's the extrapolation of that into dance music for me that is the reason why techno resonates so much - and, indeed, why most of today's tank top selfie tech-house (love that!) doesn't.

Palms Trax? For this Benny...? Face Palm Trax.

I am very happy to go searching for stuff in the line up and I know I'll find it. But funky electro-pop and disco, no matter how well mixed, might not quite be it!

The Blues probably works, Maceo Plex last year was a bit odd, L U C Y would be even more so 

I turned up for Maceo Plex but I reckon I must have got my times wrong because there was only jungle coming out of The Blues.

Definitely saw him a couple weeks later at Dour and he was great.

At least Lucy isn't in Sonic!

Begs the question, where the hell is he? Not Gully, not Wow!, not Sonic.

Can't be Pussy Parlure, surely?

Which leaves...The Blues...

Blimey

:huh:

Ben

Are we sure it's the techno Lucy rather than another?

Palms Trax has been on the Beat hotel line up recently. can't remember the year though. '14, '15 maybe?

Ah right, cheers. That'll be quite early on then and clash with Super Saturday on West Holts.  Oh well - will keep an eye on them cropping up elsewhere. 

Im pretty sure he is somewhere else too. On his own. My mate runs a night in manchester and had Hunee on, was impressed.

Yeah, Cieran - his RA listings has him in Silver Hayes on Thursday. 

Ben

Last time I checked, RA were listing some other acts for Thursday who definitely weren't playing then so I think the day thing can be ignored. 

Extrapolating on that, the fact there's no other similar DJs and the odd typing and I don't think it's him.

Sorry to be a misery.

Soul-destroyingly, I think you're right:

L U C Y Facebook

RA have done no favours there. 

Luckily that means we have another Grime / DubStep act on the bill

Good searching! I had spent ages googling but didn't get anywhere.

Yeah, that'll be it. Another stab to Ben's techno dream.

I'm feeling this.  Where's he playing?

He's doing a few but Beat Hotel on Thursday is the one I'm turning up for and as Benny says he'll be in Wow! with Antal on Saturday.

He's also doing NYC Downlow on Friday night.

    • Not sure what this means for 2027 but it looks like Holt Farm's website and email are both now inactive and unavailable.   It'll be a shame if they don't operate for 2027 as it was an excellent alternative to the other off-site offerings.   Fingers crossed they're just enjoying their downtime 🤞
    • Deftones, Blink, Muse?   Deftones as the next bump up makes all the sense, Blink as the "band that has never played before" and round out with Muse as its been a long time since they headlined and they have a new album coming which seems on the heavier side from the singles so far.   I could see Muse do their own tour to be fair, maybe MCR in their place? Could also see Deftones switched out for Slipknot/SOAD depending on who is about.
    • I have no issue with the Primavera crowd in most respects. They’re always friendly, respectful and no hint that there could be trouble at any point.   However…the talking is horrific here. The xx was pretty much ruined for me due to people having conversations with their mates the whole way through. Noticed it from all different nationalities across the weekend…English, Irish, Spanish etc. There seems to be no understanding of the nuances of when it’s okay to talk and when it isn’t. And obviously the sound being quiet at a lot of spots on the main stages exacerbates the issue. That alone has made me reconsider whether I will be coming back, it would probably take a lineup as good as this year (unlikely)

    • I found the vibe a little different to recent editions.. definitely an older crowd, less queer, less Spanish.. certainly has something to do with the lack of Glastonbury this year. And I felt Saturday was a little overcrowded. I‘ve never seen Mordor as full as last night for the xx and Gorillaz. Did not enjoy that too much.
