Producer 🥰

I was introduced to the scene when someone gave me the cassette of Producer & Grooverider at Universe In2Orbit in 1992. Completely changed everything for me.

Luke was a huge favourite in the South West in the early to mid 90s, he seemed to be at every event. Come 1995 it all got a bit too gabba for me. Would love to see him play an old school early 90s techno/Belgian set on the farm.

Are we thinking we might get a Silver Hayes announcement or something this week? 

Sounds like the Arcadia lineup is a week or two away yet based on what a pal in the know told me earlier.

if you want some clarity on next announcements .... id advise you dont look in the next announcement thread

That would be quite early for Arcadia if its a week or two, usually they are one of the last near the end of May

Ah just reread the message, the pal is thinking they'll get an advance of the lineup, but doesn't actually mention anything going public at that point - my bad!

Amazing. My first event of that size was Big Love in 93. A month after my sixteenth birthday. Good times. Did you do any others?

Did the universes. A few of the orbital ones and others I just can't remember the names of,  plenty of warehouses around the South West, but that was in the back of a car and off so no idea where they were. I was looking for the flyers the other day to sick up in the shed I have my decks in. Looks like I have lost them all which is gutting beyond belief

Half knew the chap behind Universe and many years later in a small field where he put on a party I am sure Producer did that.

I have around 10% (the Universe, Fantazia, Obsession, Dance Planet and local south west ones) of my flyers from then. Like most kids at the time, my bedroom wall was covered by so many, you couldn't see the wallpaper. I put the vast majority of them all in an A1 art folder when I left home and they disappeared. Gutted.

Alon Shulman? He's since written this book. Highly recommended read. 

I think he's Carl Cox' manager amongst other things these days.

One of my first 'outdoor' bookings was the Big Love they did in Oxford in '96. Great night. Paul Shurey RIP.

    • 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.
