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)

    • It'd be new album stuff if it were to happen I think.  First 2027 headliner in the bag also?

    • Hilarious to describe this as suprising, for the guy who can't afford to go on holiday, the guy who goes on holiday is rich, for the guy who goes on holiday, the guy who gets 3 holidays a year is rich, for the guy who gets 3 holidays, the guy who stays in 5* hotels is rich, for the guy who stays in 5* hotels, the guy that flies business class is rich, for the guy who flies business class the guy with a private jet is rich etc..   I think one of the greens video's that they put out that went viral, Zacks description of "the rich" covered 12 people in the UK.
