UPDATE!

 

I've now been through the wonderfully weird little venue that is Platform 23. It's all over the place, genre-wise (no bad thing at all!), and for me so far there is:

 

- Aæe* - this year's Client_03. Acid-ey techno played live through analogue machine things

- Architect

- Minna-No-Kimochi - a couple of Japanese kids whose set I've seen on YT is mental! This might just scratch a Trance itch, folks!

We still have Block9 and The Common to come but the latter will just be more DnB which is ok but oversaturated at the G.

 

It will, but we did get some cracking techno in The Temple last year. It's all going to be magical, team.

Yeah there always seems to be a nice bit of techno or at least a couple of decent house dj’s in the temple on one day.

 

But it’s all about Block9 for me now. High hopes for NYC, iicon and new Genosys. 
Could be stacked.

 

I think I’ve mentioned before but hoping Felix Dickinson closes Genosys stage like he used to, it would finish off the festival very nicely for me.

Young marco’s instagram confirms he’s playing Saturday and likely Sunday. (Secret set).

 

really enjoyable set at wow last year. 

 

any idea where he will pop up this year? 
 

Amazing. 

One of my fave finds from last year. 

We got part way into WOW for it but was rammo, so another set on somewhere like The Temple would be ace.

Am I right, the main difference with the Chroma productions seems to be that they are just faster tempo and have occasional more 'acid' like sounds. Otherwise it's same as Bicep. 

 

This is no bad thing though.

 

DJ set wise - I've not heard a 'great' set by them. Their Essential Mix floated by without much love.

 

The 'live' Bicep sets  are amazing though (e.g. West Holts few years back). 

 

Anyone care to change my mind about their DJ sets and point me in the right direction?

I really like this Boiler Room set from AVA.

I'd have to admit not to being hugely familiar with their DJ sets, but they seem perfectly 'fine', but not so much the sort of set to draw me in and really get a crowd going hard. I caught the last bit of their Arcadia set and very much got the feeling that people were there because it's Bicep, only really waiting for the big drop of Glue at the end. As said, the Dove set in The Levels will be absolutely ridiculously busy, made more so by the 'buzz' of less finger-on-the-pulse people finding out it's Bicep only on the Thursday, etc.

Yeah I’m wouldn’t even attempt going near there on Thursday for that reason.

 

(I mean, i’ll be in the downlow on Thursday night, but even if I wasn’t)

    • Skylink is 24 hours... But the skylink will drop you off at Pegasus business Park or EMA (East Midlands Airport) where you'll have to use the Download shuttle link, which isn't 24 hours. The last shuttle from the Download transport hub to EMA is 12:15 TrentBarton / Local bus info here: https://www.trentbarton.co.uk/download2026   Skylink Derby / Leicester / Loughborough timetable here: https://www.trentbarton.co.uk/services/skylinkderby  Shuttle timetable here: https://www.trentbarton.co.uk/userfiles/hotel.pdf If you miss the shuttle, which is very doubtful, you'll just have to find another way to EMA / Pegasus business park, maybe a taxi. You could even walk to EMA from the Download transport hub, wouldn't take too long. Just make sure you use the airport's 'circular path' instead of the dangerous roads.  I walk the circular path often, it's nice and easy. I would post instructions but I very much doubt you'll miss the shuttle, and if you do, it isn't hard to work out. The footpath is clearly signposted from directly opposite / across the road from where the download map has labelled "Pickup and Drop Off Exit." 
    • So for Harry Styles it was actually a plastic bag that basically blocks the view of the front and back cameras. You can still use the phone screen. It's much easier than using lockers, especially for people leaving for the last train etc    I think it's basically reliant on the threat of security kicking you out if you start filming.
    • Hey, does anybody have a joining link for the WhatsApp group plz? I know the secret sets get posted there but have a new phone and number
