When researching acts I would recommend looking for Hör sets - they give a more realistic example of what style they play out in the real world than Boiler Room

 

Proud Dad JAG - Child 1 curated a Hör set for his collective a couple of months ago! He played first. 🥹

Oh, bollocks! Of course! Apologies, pal! 
 

I had entirely erased that from my pre-pre-pre-list...as I can't stand San Remo 😆. Argh. That KLO set above now has me agonising over my self-imposed, lifetime San Remo ban 🤪
 

Just drop the line-up, Eavii, FFS!

No worries at all, impossible to remember every detail of the line up drops!

It's one set that, clashes permitting, I think I'll make an effort to get to. The other being HAAi who is closing San Remo on Friday.

Don’t do it, every time I end up in there I regret it no matter how much I want to see who’s playing. I don’t mind people talking as much as you but I just don’t like the atmosphere, I want to feel the love when I’m dancing and it always just seems a bit agro for my vibe in there.

Every year this topic pops up on this thread, a lack of classic trance and hard trance. Is there a need for an E-Fest trance takeover. Find one of the smaller stages and host a millennial rave one night with a few classic DJs, all the classic tunes, and encourage everyone to dust off their cyber gear and glow sticks and proper ‘ave it!!

This is me every year asking for this 😂. Love that so many people are into the same music and have the same quandary. I used to go clubbing early 2000s, my favourite night being Escape from Samsara at the Fridge ❤️.

Many is the time at Glastonbury a few years ago where I'd be wandering around trying to find music which was 'just right' (and failing). 

Since then I've gotten some great tips from this thread. The Ki/Ki into Amelie Lens last year was amazing so am very glad they're both playing this year. Also the Imogen recommendation is ace. Keep 'em coming you wonderful people. X

Fish Octagon has confirmed he’s doing a trance set on the Greenfields stage on his Insta today. It’s not much but it’s a start.

You know what day? He does know some bangers. 
 

I’m pleased for the lad, he’s a decent bloke but it’s a bit odd we only have this all weekend.

Hahaha, you're not wrong. I'm going to try and get in for Avalon Emerson on thursday, haven't been in there since 2017 I think, it looks a bit more open now.

Not sure. He’s on the Greenpeace and Glade posters so doing at least 2 sets but he specifically said his Greenpeace Stage set would be trance after asking his followers what they’d like and so many asked for it. 
 

I’m expecting plenty of classics.

Did anyone see THOG (The House of God) last year?

 

I think I established that it had nowt to do with House of God, the Brum techno institution, but never managed to find out who they are/what they play.

Rush Davis i belive this is mate.

He played an extended set last year on the Iicon for about 4 hours after blawan pulled out i think.

Just watching his set from Lost Paradise last year and it’s a right f**king bopfest. Deffo on my list.

Blawan has jibbed out on sets for me on both IICON and Genosys now. He'd better bring his A-game this year!

It keeps getting better 

Touts himself as the human Shazam so you’d expect him to bring the tunes. I’ve got high hopes for a classic trance set this year, hopefully see some of you there.

I think i saw Blawan in 2017 on the genosys stage, he would be great on the big head!!!


I'm pretty sure we didn't! That was the other one he bailed on! We were there in anticipation and the DJ started and we said...I'm pretty sure that's not Blawan! His replacement was good, but it wasn't the man himself.

    • I was following up to pink_triangle's post about what Reform are saying they will do to find money for defence spending.   But with Labour, they may well water down or delay some of the net zero commitments, they may find ways to cut welfare spending with Pat McFadden's welfare review thing, but I don't think it's going to be near enough. They really tied themselves down with the tax commitments in their manifesto, just reversing Hunt's NI cuts would have gone a long way. Under Burnham I think they may try and reform some of the tax system, land taxes and levies etc. Certainly needs reforming. But that might all be after a general election if Labour were to win.  I reckon they will try and do something with fiscal rules to borrow more, and try and persuade markets to go along with them.  (and he's already rowed back on that waspi thing...I think his team and others in Labour had a word).
    • Feels like Leeds getting axed is just a matter of time now, and to be honest, it might be the only way to save Reading. The whole twin-site format just feels proper dated and way too expensive to run nowadays. If they scrapped Leeds and focused entirely on Reading, turning it into a proper London-adjacent day-trip fest for the younger crowd like All Points East or Wireless, it would actually make sense financially. But yeah, for the old-school rock crowd, the R&L era is completely dead and buried.
    • Its the obvious  place to find savings but will Ed Miliband play along? Will Labour MP's finally accept benefits cuts? This is as damaging for Reeves as for Starmer. Its hard to see how either survives. Meanwhile Burnham is bringing up WASPI when there is no chance they'll get anything. He'll have to say something about funding defence.
    • Yeah, I managed 2 at once last year but the setup meant 1 per purchase, my partner had to do her one separately using her code   14th Primavera, bring it on!
    • I’m heading to this but need to leave on the Sat. Does anyone have any experience of getting back to the train station without the shuttle bus running? Seems like it might be tricky
