Seems to be more on the house side (Acid, piano etc) than the hardcore stuff. Altern8 are playing Friday and Ellis Dee is also there. There seems to be loads of old skool this year.

It's sweaty, it's hilarious, it's so self-aware, it's for a great cause, and the tunes and clientele are spot on. Definitely make the effort!

eastynh Posted May 21, 2017 Report Share Posted May 21, 2017 Got given an old mix I did at a night called 100% Old Skool @ Dry Bar in Manchester a few years ago, last night. Just upped it to soundcloud. Probably not too appealing for all the aficionado's on this thread, but seeing as some peeps are asking for old skool, it might tickle someones fancy. It was done on vinyl and lets say I was a little inebriated while doing it, yet it sounds ok and there are no train wrecks. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And always can be relied on no matter what time of night. Definitely one to try if you haven't been yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt42 Posted May 21, 2017 Report Share Posted May 21, 2017 Don't mean to be negative, but I've got a lot riding on the beat hotel announcement I really hope that we get some acts that make me think 'wow' because right now on the nighttime front it's looking abit sparse :/ feeling like I'm being pushed out of some of my favourite parts of the festival I need that full lineup more than any other year I've been I think... still gonna have a top weekend but it's a shame that the late night stuff is trailing a bit behind Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OffshoreToon Posted May 21, 2017 Report Share Posted May 21, 2017 The Beat Hotel has always been ridiculously hot whenever I've gone in there and the layout isn't exactly inspiring. It'd taken something incredible for me to go there. It just feels like any old bar/club in comparison to the other venues on site. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's nothing special aesthetically, but lineup wise it's the best light-night place on site IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's hard not to feel/sound like an ungrateful toddler, tearing open a present on Christmas Day only to discard it after five seconds and demand another one - in that we seem to have been given 'so much'. And whilst there is a fair amount on there to excite me, I'm still a bit nervous that I'll have to cobble my nights together somewhat. So far, the following would make the list as people I would be very happy to have in my night-time schedule Blawan Steffi (& Virginia) Heidi Partok Kevin Saunderson Felix Dickinson Shed Pearson Sound Bicep (I think their live set could be pretty fab - presumably it'll be rammo) Seth Troxler Paranoid London Acid Mondays Hessle Leon Vynehall Tom Demac Sasha John Digweed Shaded Now, that seems like a lot, but there are a lot of planets that would need to align to ensure that I can dance like a lunatic until 6am for at least Fri/Sat/Sun. I know we have Beat and Spider to come but, as said, they finish at 0300h and I have no doubt that I'll be well catered for until then. It's that crucial 0300-0600h slot that needs sorting!!!

Joj Posted May 21, 2017 Report Share Posted May 21, 2017 Is it pretty much only SE corner venues that stay open until 6am? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OffshoreToon Posted May 21, 2017 Report Share Posted May 21, 2017 I'm surprised to see Leon Vynehall on that list. I've only listened to one of his sets (essential mix, I think) and thought it was rather soft and boring. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Winslow Leach Posted May 21, 2017 Report Share Posted May 21, 2017 Met the Black Madonna after her XOYO set the other night, really nice person. Didn't ask her about Glastonbury, did ask about Lost Village even though I already know she's playing. It was the end of the night, leave me alone.

bennyhana22 Posted May 21, 2017 Author Report Share Posted May 21, 2017 Been topping up the excitement pot tonight listening to quite a bit of Shed.
