Hoping it’s going to be a good afternoon evening...always get a bit nervous going somewhere for the first time, but 99% of the time have a blast. A new venue for this year I see? Hopefully that will solve some of the crowding issues. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never actually been Index yet heard it’s decent for a techno night. Index is great but it can often depend on the crowd, can seem over sold sometimes with a lot of people just standing around chatting but if you push up towards the front there's always a good vibe. I saw Victor Ruiz there earlier in the year and it was one of the best gigs I've been to in 2019. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not necessarily entirely referring entirely to electronic music but I figured here would be a good place to ask as everybody seems pretty clued up on their music. I live in Glasgow but I'm interested in reading more about the comparisons between music scenes (in terms of pull for getting good gigs and lineups as well as how the area cultivates their own homegrown artists). This is equally for my general curiosity but also because I'd like to move around when I'm older and knowing I could find good music easily is very important for me. I have to say that Glasgow is very good and quite similar to Manchester in many ways. I love both cities. Lots of decent venues, good people. London is the obvious location for variety and availability but I find that the crowds are less up for it and the atmosphere isn't as good as the cities mentioned above.

Tommy Dickfingers Posted July 18, 2019 Report Share Posted July 18, 2019 London be sound if you’re rich or posh no doubt. If you aren’t I’d say it’s Manchester or Glasgow. Leeds isn’t on the same level and I’ve never been to Bristol so I wouldn’t know. I totally disagree with Fuzzy The White Hotel, Soup Kitchen, Partisan are all great clubs. I’ve not seen any better than White Hotel or Soup especially outside of London so welcome to suggestions. Hidden, The Refuge have their places as do venues I personally hate such as Gorilla. WHP swallows up a lot of your big names but Jeff Mills and Marcell Dettman played Hidden in the past year along with other big names in smaller venues. Dozzy played Soup Kitchen. Clubbing in Manchester has never been better in my lifetime. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally I don't think the sound systems at the white hotel + especially the soup kitchen are much kop, same goes with Joshua brooks - (which is by far the worst).

At the Gas Tower in 2017, remember absolutely flying then hearing The Smiths immediately followed by The Cure - the actual dream! LOL, I saw his stranger things set at Standon Calling a couple of years ago - didn't really do it for me but that is unsurprising as a) i'm not really into 80's music and b) i've never seen Stranger Things, the rest of the tent was kicking off mind and i have loved him when i have seen him do pretty much anything other than the Stranger Things tour.

Time Being Posted July 18, 2019 Report Share Posted July 18, 2019 5 hours ago, Supernintendo Chalmers said: Off to Sonar Festival tonight! Anyone on this thread been? Yes, jealous of you. Make sure you leave a nice amount of time if traveling from by Day to by Night. Also, we never quite got down how to get back to the hotel efficiently from by night as uber wasn't allowed at the time and cabs were really hard to come by. Other than that, it is really well run and you will surely have an incredible time. Check out an off party on Sun if you are not completely spent. Enjoy! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Johnnyseven Posted July 19, 2019 Report Share Posted July 19, 2019 Has anyone seen what's happening at Printworks over the August bank holiday weekend? Some proper old school techno on the bill - Carl Craig, Model 500 etc. Tom Middleton from Global Communication doing their album too. 2 of the days seem to be more gig than club which suits me, I can't do all of them but I can't pick which one!
