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

 

Ben

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

Dresden (Smagghe & Manfredas)  @ Love International Festival 2023

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

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.

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!

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

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.

    • Having done all three, Porto is lovely, very chilled but nowhere near as exciting as Barcelona (nor as many options). Bilbao BBK has charm but again not a patch on Barcelona really.   ps and the beer was 5.50, not 5, last year 😉 
    • Honest question and with the risk of getting slaughtered, do you feel people should stop the chatting on the entire field? When my group is in the front rows we surely keep the talking to a minimum and largely only about how great or bad the artist is. But surely on the main field when you are further back (lets say around the bars (200 meters from the podium) you should be able to have a conversation. If people are still annoyed about that I would recommend them moving up further.
    • I just genuinely think they don't understand technology and its felt like this since the invention of the internet.   Also see say a speech on a Monday saying we want to be a world leader in "this thing" then on a Wednesday another speech saying "this thing" is bad and needs to be banned/regulated out of existance.
    • My party again had an outstanding 4 days in Barca. We made the right call to leave the festival site early at about 10.30 on Thursday to get ourselves some excellent steaks in the city. I am with everyone that the organization should have been clearer about what is going on and also if you would like to get rid of some attendees open more exits, they sent us from gate to gate until we finally were able to get out. Biggest 'disappointment' was the beer price, a YoY increase from 5 to 6 is absolutely nuts!!! (i am living in Switzerland so me making this comment says something 🙂)   Top 10:   1. Men I Trust 2. Role Model (could have been first as well, what a great artist and great songs) 3. The XX 4. The cure (the last 90 minutes) 5. Gorillaz 6. MBV 7. Ninajirachi (another big miss of the organization, clearly on the wrong podium and wonder if Olivia's surprise set had something to do with that and they had to reschuffle late the Occident, Cupra and Port schedules) 8. NewDad 9. Big Thief 10. Annastashia      We did 3 years Barca now and for next year looking at the Porto or Bilbao festivals as an option. 
    • Personally if it was me now, I would be grabbing a green camping ticket with the knowledge closer when I've refreshed that I can still choose general if I want to....you can't do the opposite!    I would say if you are happy to watch your headliners and big bands further back to be able to see who you actually plan to later then yes it is fine. Its a much difference experience to any other festival especially food wise and camping surrounds.    Once you're in the arena as well you're not going back unless you've got a gap. If I go again I'll be going with the option of not trying to push the front and enjoying further back as you actually put too much pressure on it than the time take away can forget to enjoy other acts.
