There is something special about genosys in monday morning daylight though, basically a field of swaying braindead zombies at that stage, just squeezing the last few drops out of the party.

It's always nice to feel seen 😬😊

I've very recently moved to Bath for a new (well, my first real) job, if anyone has any dnb/house/funky recommendations for any day parties I should check out in Bristol please let me know, haven't done anything proper since pre-pandemic and I'm missing it

The Intrigue parties are excellent. If you want to have an absolutely mental one, the Black Swan always has something interesting on. On the House/Techno tip, this is unmissable:

The music he releases as Amon Tobin on Warp is really different...downtempo experimental electronica with exceptional production and sound design.

His Two Fingers sets are beat-heavy, halfstep mixed with dnb dancefloor stuff. Highly recommend...enjoyI

Amon Tobin’s ISAM tour with the projection mapping was amazing. Absolute glitchy heaven.

Anjunadeep’s been spoken about here back along, and how much I’d wet myself for some early Friday evening sunset vibes on the farm, preferably at the Glade 🙏  

This Böhmer set is incredible, particular attention to the track drop at 30:07… 👌

Absolutely sublime finish with Need to Feel Loved as last track.

My first visit to Printworks (what a venue that is) and this set slotted in between Jody/Grant & Tinlicker, was the surprise highlight of the night for us.

This last one I’ve played & played, was my go to for a some time. It’s probably why I was a little underwhelmed with their set at PW in December. Was the first time I’d heard Overtones, which sent me down a bit of a Frost rabbit hole afterwards.

Not sure what it is about the uplifting soul tingling progressive Anjuna tones that hits a nerve. Think it stems back to the late 90’s early 00’s trance classics, and then appreciation for Adam K, Soha, EDX, Ned Shepard and the likes, even the early Deadmau5’s years.

Have a great Saturday all 😎

I find this so strange, I went to Printworks for the first time and really wasn't impressed by the main room with the balconys - it felt like an eternal fight to stay central and I would much prefer London had a venue like WHP project. Its so thin as well so unless you want to be packed in line a sardine you end up very far away. I think its a cool venue but would just prefer a more traditional warehouse

Weird aint it, everything is subjective I suppose. We had balcony tickets, and even though you could take in the atmosphere and the lighting, the sound wasn’t the best up (wouldn’t bother with the extra expense if we went again). Was only until we ventured down in amongst it near the front, parked ourselves in front of a pillar, had a really good view of the booth & the visuals etc when it all started to make sense. Fancy a la Discotheque or Glitterbox night there next.

I found the beauty of having so many repeaters in the space is that you don't need to be down the front. The sound is good and loud all the way to the back.

I love Printworks and it's a shame it's closing to be turned into offices. 

This rumour is everywhere! The lease has been extended for a decent bit longer I think.

Its a decent venue and obviously the only place you can see DJ sets from the biggest acts but i'd just like to see something more traditional (and the other side of London!)

Oh really? That's good news if true.

It was always my understanding that it was only ever a temporary space and this article in Mixmag seemed to confirm that plans are afoot for the new development.

I think its got the rest of this year at least, its time is definitely ticking down but it was originally meant to have already shut i think.

Maybe I'm just getting old and there's dozens of places I don't know about, but between this and The Cause closing down things are looking pretty bleak in Old London Town right now.

I love the main floor at Printworks, massively prefer it to WHP at Mayfield Depot. Mayfield felt too big and sprawled out and too rammed at the same time, spent all night trying and failing to find a good spot for anything. 

WHP at Store Street, on the other hand, was a #vibe. 

for me the concourse at WHP is far superior to the depot , proper vibe in there.

This recent season's slightly revamped Archive at WHP was great too. Sound massively improved on pre-pandemic seasons. The depot can be great, but you need the right artist, time of night and crowd all to gel. Jeff Mills in
November in the Depot was a really amazing vibe.

That was the exact night I was there and just couldn't get into it! Turns out these things are completely subjective, who knew...?

a cirez d or a prydz set at the spider would be outrageous ( i know theres little chance the spider is back but allow me the thought)

    • Another note, if I didn't mention the food in the arena for main stage is right at the back. Bands wise they do very well for but as a festival so far they pros are outweighed quite heavily currently for me.
    • On another note for RIP as an event, there is some good things but there are so many things people going to UK festivals would hate and how far behind they are.  Consistent network and water, beer and pretzel like food is brought around to buy in the crowds. Topping up on the wristband is good. The camping and food arrangement is not good, you really need cooking kit. Water points inside the arena are bonkers, water points in camping are a faff unless you are close enough in general camp. Merch stands are crazy. You MASSIVELY need to think about your lidl shop for camping and try and do it so you've one stop. It's definitely worth it getting to a camping shop here, picking up a rolley between your mates and stacking it for the walk back....lidl is cheap though, not hard getting in but Thursday queues getting in and into the camping is mad. You have to register first for a wristband as well leaving any bigger bags behind so pull to a side if only two and do it separately. I was joining a WhatsApp group for solo camp so went with the flow but I've learnt. Had it been me or just two my tent would have been down much quicker.  Big final note, I got a fresh and black 3 man from decathlon before coming and put in bigger suitcase with my airbed and sleeping bag...do this. Take a smaller option for your clothes. If you go to Munich first, book your train to Nuremberg as far in advance as you can....very important!....it hikes crazy. Probably bettee overall for baggage sizes to do BA both ways but you do then need to go back to Munich after too. Use the B&B hotel hbf the night before....its very nice, comfortable, cheap and within 10 minutes of the station which also serves as a transport stop 15 minutes from the registration.  Get up literally like 5am with everything back the night before, shower and go. Transport is free anyway for festival ticket holders during the duration.  Would I just choose to travel in each day and back to a hotel?, on the basis of sleep and getting accommodation cheap enough for 3 nights i might just do especially if I picked the ticket up early enough. It doesn't feel like a festival in a normal sense....unless you are in general yoi have to exit on the paths outside the camping to walk down and in which also applies for getting water so have a stock up. Toilets are in the camping.
    • Yup and they aren't cheap   Glastonbury is different though, it's a place that will pack out for rarities they don't usually see. Download strictly speaking shouldn't be the strangest place for Avril to pop up of she had been a touring artist of longer times over the years.   Avril and GC would get the same billing for me and GC are selling arenas out quicker than Avril sold Ally Pally. Bearing in mind she'd pnly done soem Brixton dates before.
    • Avril gets above GC on rarity (see Cypress Hill this year). She drew in something like 70,000 at Glastonbury, so much so that they had to close the field off. I’d wager that she would get the biggest crowd of the entire weekend if she was to play DL.
