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?

    • 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.    
    • Any of the likes of Keo, Basht. and Cardinals could all fit in here.  Although they’re the sort of bands that could fit many of the stages at Glastonbury 
    • Glasto loves a come back act - how about the Rapture?    
    • Yeah mentioned in the park thread but feel more Woodsies to me
