Ben Klock is boring as fuck in my opinion. Dettmann is better but I’m not mad on either of them. I often wonder how many people would go mad for them if they didn’t have “Berghain” plastered all over every poster they’re on. That’s not to say people don’t like them, they obviously do.

 

Neither are my favourites to be honest, but I have heard some mega sets from both.

Here is someone in my favourites list. Not heard this yet, so afternoon listening sorted -

I thought i was woefully out of touch, but there’s enough names i recognise from the 90s there to give me a spring in my step and make me feel young again. I’m really pleasantly surprised. Thanks man

If they were any good in the 90s they're still around. My only slight criticism is that in the 90s you could tell one DJ from another based upon their style and sound. I could easily tell you who was playing just by listening to them mix or by their tune selection. Nowadays many of them seem to have lost what made them unique so it's more difficult to tell.

Damn straight, Sas!

Although I do agree that there's not enough variety of electronica throughout the night.

I’ve said it before and I’ll do it again...

I LOVE really good DnB - intelligent progression, mega breaks, interesting twists, NO vocal sampling/MCing!!! - but... I am entirely incapable of dancing to it! It’s either an 80bpm dubstep lurch or a 160bpm general jump about!

Haha! It's alright Ben, @Supernintendo Chalmers and I will teach ya. Although, there is nowt wrong with a 160bpm jump about!

 

Oh man, it's all getting a bit exciting now, isn't it?! These sets are doing nothing to alleviate my excitement levels either...keep 'em coming!

I've been digging on this one from Rampage for the last week or so. I love Dimension's style. No MC on this one either.

What's the story with Laurent Garnier? He's playing an irish fest that I can't go to because its too close to glasto and is on the road this summer. Don't think he played in '16 or '17 either. Id love to catch a long set by him.

Down with this nonsense. Different strokes for different sets and all, but sometimes you want the full airhorns blazing, MC chatting shit, dusty samples from the Terminator, dutty junglist experience.

Agree. Plus, how the fuck are you supposed to know who is playing if you don't have an MC reminding you every five minutes??? This is the major flaw of techno nights IMO ?

Love sets from Rampage! I always promise to myself I’ll go one day but didn’t happen yet.

couple of years back I was heavily into Camo & Krooked, this set was my all time favourite.

I like techno because a good set has some subtly to it, takes you on a bit of a journey. DnB is too in your face and shouty for me and Mcs are just never a thing I want to see at any sort of gig or set at all really, crige worthy most of time. Unless it's some 80s hip hop act or something.

Just listened to Diplo's set from Coachella last week...veryyyy different set from him. First 40mins was a straight up house set and he threw in a couple electro bangers at the end...kind of excited for this show.

 

Also, where is that inevitable Diplo b2b Mark Ronson set going to be?

    • Muse will be about but the issue with Muse is that they’ll have the pick of doing IOW, BST, Glasto, R&L or big parks/stadiums.

    • 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)
