Yeah not much for me on it. The Temple on Sunday 2016 was such a great way to end the festival, loved the venue but nothing has drawn me back since.

[Matt - Ed Banger Records]

I think beyond Hot Chip or Mike Skinner there isn't anything I would bother going to see, fingers crossed Block9 and Arcadia pull something less tech-house or D'n'B heavy out of their arse.

eris drew is the only name that jumped out for me she’s good fun - would be good in the downlow or somewhere else too if she’s doing multiple sets over the weekend

[Adam75]

Its a shame alot of SE Corner has so much bass music etc, would like more variety. Temple is such a great venue. But there are a few highlights in the Common - Eris Drew, Dj Hype, Channel One. 

[EZYSEY]

Monika Kruse will be great in the temple.

might be a few hidden gems, but yeah, same old rubbish. such stale bookings.

[Mezhyp1]

That saying, it isn't necessarily a bad thing. Temple is a big venue, if that's jam-packed on the Saturday evening it takes a big chunk of the crowd away from elsewhere. Might make queueing to get into the SE corner itself a bit of a ball ache though 

Though this is all hypothetical, i have no ticket (yes this is my plea for help)

I really banked on Aphex turning up at some point over the weekend, now i'm starting to think it isn't likely

Not looking likely, sadly!

I really thought seeing him on the Coachella line up would mean he would play Glasto

 

Fingers crossed he turns up under the pseudonym djhkshkdjh;d'as at 5am in Shrangri La.

Seen a few criticisms of the Common line up being too DnB heavy. I'm tryna broaden my musical horizons on this sort of music so could someone give me a quick ELI5 version of the differences between DnB, Electronica, House, Techno etc? Thanks

Didnt he only want to headline Other Stage and Glastonbury wouldn't go for it? I thought that's what Neil said hut I may be wrong. 

[Tommy Dickfingers]

Eris Drew and a whole load of jump up and shite tech house. 

Holding out for Eris Drew b2b Octo Octa at Downlow. Believe.

[OffshoreToon]

Heidi and Monika Kruse hopefully one after the other on Saturday night then. Dnb wise Prototypes b2b TC and Kasra b2b Randall will be worth visiting. Uninspired otherwise, though, but I'm happy to have my Temple fix with Heidi and hopefully Monika too.

[Jay89]

Soooo before I get lost in millions of sets - can anyone point me in direction of some techno, acid and even good tech-house on Common line up? Skip the well known names, I’m happy to explore unknown! 

Also, off to see Eddie Halliwell and Giuseppe Ottaviani on Friday. Can’t wait to get my trance fix. Haven’t seen Giuseppe live yet, might be quite a spectacle.

There was certainly a story along the lines of he was offered The Park but he wanted The Other

My thoughts exactly. He'll probably get a prime slot too like he did in 2017. Absolute scutter

I'll give you the breakdown for Drum and Bass/Jungle, based upon my musical taste for this genre:

Very quick tempo (150bpm and above), breakbeat-style electronica with influences across many genres from hip-hop and reggae to dancehall and jazz amongst others. If you're looking for a more radio-friendly, vocal-break, sample-heavy DnB, seek out the likes of Chase & Status, Wilkinson, High Contrast, Sigma or DJ Fresh. You might prefer slightly less commercial acts like Andy C, Brockie, LTJ Bukem, Hype, Roni Size, Dimension, Mampi Swift all of who have slightly different styles. There is also a multitude of more progressive DnB artists like SPOR, Konflict, London Elektricity, Evol Intent, etc. There's also a thriving underground scene. Like all electronica, there's always someone pushing the envelope in a different direction.

DJs are usually accompanied by MCs who can either be "hype men" (MC GQ, Dynamite, Conrad) or lyrically dextrous MCs who rhyme over the top (Skibadee, Harry Shotta, Inja, Fearless, Det). They're not everyone's favourite but the right MC with the right DJ can set it off right. An annoying MC can ruin the set.

Some huge DnB acts announced so far for Glastonbury are: Fabio & Grooverider, Hype, Kings of the Rollers, Shy FX, Danny Byrd, London Elektricity, The Prototypes but I guarantee there'll be loads more across the weekend

 

Who can give my guy a breakdown of techno and house?
