Artists who would be keen to play based on the artistic value are those who surely take their craft more seriously and thus will put on a better show. Great point. Let's hope the artistic output matches what promises to be a sonic and visual extravaganza! No doubt it will Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FuzzyDunlop Posted May 4, 2019 Report Share Posted May 4, 2019 13 minutes ago, Supernintendo Chalmers said: I wonder how many acts and DJs also get sold on the concepts of these areas? I'd be amazed if they hadn't been shown concept art to try and entice them? Money surely can't be everything to these people? They work 50 weekends a year for top dollar, sometimes, if the fees might be less than usual, it must be a buzz for them to be integral to something creative, immersive and unique? DJ's seem to follow the money. In fairness though, they can't make much from selling tunes, so it is how they earn their crust. For British acts - there is a prestige playing at Glastonbury that there isn't for other nations. Quite a few will constantly play Creamfields and not Glastonbury (Prydz for example) who no doubt pay him through the nose in comparison. Plus they give him more creative freedom to pick who plays on the same day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not formulaic, lots of different styles. Very nice. I'm guessing that they'll DJ in Spaceport, though I guess they could play live. Maybe I'll ping them a message and ask. Am I misremembering, or have they had DJ booths at both ends of the Spaceport? Or did they just swap it 'round from 2016 to 2017...? Ben Main site suggests Spaceport has a new design this year - so may have space for live sets? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tommy Dickfingers Posted May 4, 2019 Report Share Posted May 4, 2019 They absolutely play gigs for money but also play gigs for the art or experience. They were all ravers once. I fully believe a lot play Bloc9 for the art myself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After Boomtown last year I was heading into this year ready to just go with the flow (as Boomtown don't release set times, I couldn't be arsed to plan whilst I was there through a .pdf on my phone) but there are too many new things that need to be seen this year, especially with the competition for tickets for the 50th next year.

Homer Posted May 4, 2019 Report Share Posted May 4, 2019 My mate used to run a hard house night in Bristol called Ripsnorter, where a pre-Eats Everything Dan Pearce was a resident. My mate put on a reunion night in Bristol about five years ago for about 100, maybe 150 people and he came down and DJed under the name Dan Pearce. He even went on fairly early as the other guys played harder than him. He did similar and played a breaks set at the Blue Mountain in Bristol in Feb when they thought it was closing down.

I used to know him to say hello to (through that club and also I interviewed him for a Bristol listings mag I used to work for). Through that mag I blagged free tickets to Escape into the Park in Swansea (big hard house/trance affair run by the old Escape clubs). He was DJing in a tent to a couple of thousand people in the afternoon. We had backstage passes with our tickets, so, being a bit spangled and pissed, I pointed at the empty stage and said 'can we get up there and dance?' He said 'go for it., We were up there for about an hour before this security guard walked on with a horrified look on his face and dragged us off - being that we were three pissed blokes in jeans and t-shirts dancing away fairly badly. Though a lot of the people in the crowd were loving us (don't do drugs kids!). Dan Pearce didn't give a shit though - I think he quite unpretentious and, like someone said earlier, an old raver who just loves the scene.

ghostdancer1 Posted May 4, 2019 Report Share Posted May 4, 2019 12 hours ago, Tommy Dickfingers said: Bloc9 for sure. That’s a big booking. I feel like Bloc9 will be the last line up dropped then this thread will all go mad. They don’t have the biggest budget for artists do they? They must be getting them via word of mouth, DJ’s must be telling others they’ve got to play/will want to see the installations/area. Block9 lineup is out 14th May, so probably one of the last big ones anyway. Although in previous years Arcadia has been after them (usually just before the full full lineup). The Wormhole said there's was on 17th May, but I'd imagine that'll be a small announcement themselves, rather than a big official thing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Couldn't believe his luck. Saw him at motion yesterday he played an early set from 5 - 7 and really got the crowd going. When he dropped the four tet track only human it really went off. Capriati was also very very good but my highlight was Heidi who just played the most amazing set. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DJL Posted May 5, 2019 Report Share Posted May 5, 2019 Forgive my ignorance on the subject (and it has probably been discussed) is there a Spotify playlist equivalent for easily checking out all the DJs in the line-up(s)?

Tommy Dickfingers Posted May 5, 2019 Report Share Posted May 5, 2019 Avalon Emerson last night my word. She was unreal, haven’t enjoyed a set like that in time. Hope she’s on properly late one night could be one for the ages. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
