A little off topic, but my 7-year old asked me the other day "Daddy, what does a DJ do?" so I played her a few of the sets from YouTube on this thread. Had a good little dance. 😃

It wasn't until afterwards I thought to ask her why she wanted to know... I'd forgotten she has her first ever school disco coming up and one of the teachers will be DJing. I fear I may have given her totally unrealistic expectations for what it's going to be like! 

Or you'll feel very smug when the teacher plays their jungle classic setlist

Sounds like the perfection time to teach her how to DJ! She'll be smashing out a deconstructed techno set at 4am in Block 9 before you know it.

I'd have to figure it out myself first 😂 She is quite into music though, I might see if there's any DJ or mixing apps or games we can have a play with.

I think (?) there's a decent number of us in this thread that DJ, so if you or your daughter do want to get into it at any point give us a bell!

- How was the school disco, darling? 

- Awful, pure anthem bashing, they even dropped The Nine FFS

letter from the school - 'your daughter has been kept behind after school. The reason for this stopping the music by spinning the DJ equipment and shouting "easy man, wheel up wheel up big tune!" and making a gun shape with her fingers

It would be a very very cool skill to pick up for later life I reckon! Also, I read a stat that only 6% of DJ's are female, so anything to tackle that gender gap as well.

Been trying to teach my nieces but all they want to do is spinback and mess around with the jog wheels

good grief i hope these boys show up somewhere good. 

 

in other music news, BUFO's residency kicks off tonight at 11 which i will for sure be tuning into !

another one who's done a Rinse Mix this month is Salute, who i'm surprised not to see anywhere on the bill just yet, seemed destined for Silver Hayes

Certainly didn't expect this from Mall Grab! Can't work out if I love it or hate it. 

Had a listen yesterday. I quite like it, dude seems to be a bit all over the place style-wise, which I don't mind.

Wonder if there's any chance he's at Block 9, would defo enjoy a Genosys set with him.

Yeah still expecting them, would be an Overmono-like weirdness for them not to be there.

Salute is absolutely sick but he’s not one im hugely surprised on not being there (yet), has only gotten traction fairly recently. Would be a great booking tho.

yeah i 100% agree on prospa, and also Salute, he'd be cracking somewhere in bright sunshine though early doors methinks

I'm gonna need some help on that Common lineup... I think the only name I know is Blawan.

Seems odd - I definitely normally know more of that area than I seem to this year, but maybe that's just how things go.

A word.

    • No worries, it's a perfectly fair question to ask. I would expect people to be talking at the back & near the bars & that is where I would want them to be talking. If your group are enjoying yourselves & the music & briefly chatting to say how much you are loving a certain song etc, you would be an ideal group to stand behind.   My issue is with people having full blown conversations (usually unrelated what is on the stage) whilst being surrounded by people who are trying to listen to the music. This was happening in the middle and towards the front of all stages, & so you have limited options to move around & you may have spent 20 minutes waiting for the band trying to get the closest position that you can. If there's a group of 8 people, there may be 2 or 3 that like the band & the rest will start talking if the music isn't their thing. This may be the norm now for festivals, and if it is, that's ok & I will focus on a band's own gigs & UK based new music festivals.    I'm also not including consequences of my own decision making. I saw Geese on Wednesday so went to Occident after Men I Trust finished so it was understandable there would be chatting that far back. Similarly, getting to The XX after Olivia Rodrigo along with most of the site, I knew my chance of a good spot & a chat-free zone had gone so that was completely reasonable.   PS. I went to Bilbao BBK in 2023 & 2025 & enjoyed it. For Pulp & Kylie in 2025, I got a position early & was surrounded by a respectful & fun crowd for both. The UK non-headlining bands tend to go on the undercover 3rd stage, & most people like to congregate outside so you can usually get close to the front of that stage.   
    • Interview on 6 music earlier, was going to get the album to have a listen, but comes out the day they play the festival 
    • Additional dates added already    
    • I feel like it's not COMPLETELY beyond the realm of possibility that they could headline but I just don't see it.    They're not doing anything other than headlining. So nah, I don't see it.
    • Consider that the sound quality can be better near the front bars right behind the soundbooth rather than closer to the stage, like with mbv. And of course, the front sections are full of talkers too.   The most courteous move would be to have conversations in the very back of the field.
