Some sunday evening viewing..

I love charlotte, she mixes how I mix, long transitions, get rid of the bass on the outgoing track & the tracks will naturally bleed out & mix if you pick the right tunes (which some people cant pick). No dicking about or pretending to do x, y & z. Let the tunes tell the story.

By far, my favourite mix of hers! Can’t remember if this track is on this one, but if it wasn’t for her, I wouldn’t find this:

She has done a few for the tunnel. She is ace.

I didn’t realise. Think I was always listening the same one :)

I presume none of you listens to Radio1 on here, but I always do on Friday nights at work (since I got my aux cable confiscated ?) to make it a bit more bearable. She was on Pete Tong on Friday, playing harder than usual, it was soooo good! She was on again on Sunday night as part of her residency ?

She’s on from 01:30:00.

They're often about. They also played in 2015 if I remember correctly, doing that siriusmodeselektor double bill thing.

I just want to see Evil Twin on a massive stage.

Wasn't that at Wow? I remember all weekend I was looking forward to that and it getting towards their set time and I was in the SEC in no fit state to get there in time.  This time it'll be different.  I will still be in a mess but hopefully I'll make sure I'll get to where I need to be first

 

and @bennyhana22, wonderful write up.  Though I must admit, the longer it goes without a confirmation from Jon Hopkins, the more worried I get that he isn't playing.  Think I'm going to have to do some transcendental meditation and see if I can have a chat to him in another plane of reality.   That's how meditation works, right?

Yep, last thing on Sunday night at WOW.  I didn't go because I wasn't actually at the festival, but since I was on SecretGlasto duty that year, I probably know that year's lineup as well as any year I did attend.  Better than some, for sure!

I know there is the other thread, but it doesn't feel right having a dance music thread without saying something about Keith Flint.

I along with millions of others were introduced to "rave" culture and music through the prodigy. For that, Ill always be immensely greatful. 

Today is a day to be sad, but the tunes will live on. Keith will live on through them.

This isnt my favourite by them, but this is the first proper rave track I truely loved.

The vocal on this track is iconic

Ben

I’d hope some of it would be up your street Ben, I know you have a good and varied taste.

Its basically an event one bloke puts on every few months but he gets in people from all across the dance music spectrum. He started off as one bloke who made up a run of one off tshirts, and went from there to getting sued by Jeremy Hunt for making tshirts supporting NHS, various other things such as that and just generally has quite an interesting history. He (Johnny) seems to be someone everyone seems to like and want to play his events, so will be interesting to see who he gets in, although I’d pre warn to expect Artwork/Skream for one or two of the slots.

 I can see this being a Stonebridge bar takeover or a micro venue in Shangri La. Expect the likes of Loefah, Klose One, Benton etc..

*edit*

i read this other day too thought it was great.

    • If you had to come through the fence after coming down the hill if you weren’t already down the hill then you were probably in general. From there the blocks of toilets, showers and water points aren't far at all and to your right is aldi. I know of the lake but apparently it fills up super quick and is noisy and loads of bugs....I got bitten as it was lol. But I joined a solo camp WhatsApp group so followed them.

    • They are going to have Blink 182 for sure, early June upto around Werchter weekend I'd say for them. Two of Sweden Rock,  Greenfield and RFP are going to miss out.
    • I've come across a few this weekend saying Deftones aren't big enough for Download.   I would recommend b&b hotel hbf the night before....cheap, comfortable and very decent. Within 10 minutes from the station and a tram stop outside to jump on...all travel is free during the festival time as well with a kombi. Lidl is very good and cheap I can't lie....€6 for a chair with carey handle, €20 with a bag too...you can work that out yourself.   If you camp, get up at 5am and go to the queue....literally don't question it as now I know.     The travel wise part is easy when you get the hang of it and I've never had an easier exit from a festival today tbh. We were camped in the turn left section but past the registration and to get water you have to come right out.   Opening up an exit through he camp at least by Friday morning when everyobe is there would be much better but you csnt walk through general if you're green and sonon.   I think the issue for me probably too is I have never taken like a mutliple litre water too, I've always done a 6 pack water from like poundland lol but you definitely need it. I had one shower that was cold lol   Talking of getting into the front, Volbeat was the only easy one, for Maiden and especially Linkin Park if you weren't in the queue for it by at least the last quarter ot Architects you had no hope....it was shocking. I do like orbit to sit down. I had to decide to sack off Within Temptation too or no chance.   Second stage biggest gripe is the faff of walking all the way round when VIP or whatever it is literally get access to each bit. I did read tbh before going people though RIP/Ring was turning too much the wrong way.   Also as a side note, caught some of Limp Bizkit last night too and they are not headliner but any distance at all. Yes they pull a crowd...they would do with LP finished but on the grand scale its a super weak booking. Stop, start for video recordings all the way through a headline set?, 1hr 15 minutes and you can't play for that time. I'm so glad they were not chosen to headline main.   On another thing, if RIP played it right they'll get GC and Avril to sub/second stage headline on the Blink day.   Toilets and cleanliness is a big plus I will say that.
