Quite a specific request but would anyone be able to recommend some DJs who are likely to play some Italo Disco in their sets? Palms Trax being one for example. Don't care if it's a big name or DJ playing in some smaller tent. Few of our crew going would lap that stuff up. 

Check out Emmet Read - not on the lineup but a set is potentially in the works, pure Italo disco

Just listened to this set again.

 

They're playing the Assembly on Thursday night.

 

It's a great set - takes its time to reach full gas, which I imagine they'd foreshorten for a proper dance set, but if they play anything like this little beauty, I'll be there with bells on.

 

Sugar Free & Fonte

ah yeah this set grooves along very nicely, great option for thurs

Here's another couple of cracking mixes for you: 

 

 

Ivan Smagghe B2b Craig Richards @ AW 60 (06/04/23), Fabric 

https://on.soundcloud.com/RmC9P

 

Dresden (Smagghe & Manfredas)  @ Love International Festival 2023
https://on.soundcloud.com/zmAKh

 

Listened to this AW 60 Fabric set whilst running earlier and really enjoyed it thanks.

 

also to echo what has been said recently this really is the nicest thread on the internet, being a indie kid at heart who has grown more and more into ED stuff as I get older (in no small part thanks to Glastonbury in 2013 onwards) I find this so useful as I often  don’t really know what I like so thanks all

Has anyone done a Spotify playlist for Genosys?

Out of upvotes but cheers @Supernintendo Chalmers! Liking the sound of him on his soundcloud. A few other gems I've discovered this evening although not necessarily Italo: Dar Disku, Faff, Ouissaim & CC Disco.

 

No problem. Dar Disku is a duo that I discovered a few years ago through this very thread. They went on to be one of the sets of that weekend!

Did anyone go to High Lights on Friday? Such a stellar lineup, sadly I'm on nights this weekend but the clips on socials look insane. 

Hope it returns next year as I'd make a special trip for that setup.

What a belter of a sunny day. My car audio choice to match was some very loud Super8 & Tab - aside from Glasto would love to see those guys live

My wife went. She said the sound quality was excellent.

Wasn’t too busy but to be expected for its first year, will probably be bigger next year. Slightly older crowd too (in a good way).

They were doing £5 tickets for Saturday on SFF. Had to be in by 2:30pm but still a great deal.

Just noticed we're at 1.5 million views of this thread in just under ten years. Nice. 

worth noting the view counter was broken for a good few years like 2020-2022, i only just noticed its back on!

 

Not sure if they got counted and added when it was fixed, but we could be closer to 2 million!

Nia Archive gig on a train to Castle Cary? Interesting concept

That's the one I really fancied, would love to see Rival Consoles. Will keep an eye out for it next year for sure.

have to admit i thought bonobo was still playing downtempo stuff, but this kind of thing would go down a treat on the Levels in the sunshine

This is in my top 5 Boiler Room sets of all time. 
 

It’s a work of art.

Yes, really good, the sound is absolutely banging and the lighting at the main stage with the overhead installation is class. It was a lot smaller than I thought it would be and must've only been 30% full...Would imagine much busier on sat

 

Rival Consoles live set was superb. Max Cooper DJ set, decent. dropped off in the middle but ended strong. Not a patch on his live show imo

[Schinfler]

Dixon @ San Remo probably? Or was he somewhere else?

Yeah, kind of 'has' to be. And that works too.

Not long until we can pour over the full line up, most excited to see what day/time Prydz and HAAI b2b Ki/Ki are on. 
 

Also hoping no massive clashes for Bonobo, Bicep and Faithless.

Really hoping for a Friday Arcadia Techno night. Would start the festival proper with a bang.
