Supernintendo Chalmers Posted October 13, 2021 Report Share Posted October 13, 2021 Just seeing the results of the DJ Mag Top 100 DJs vote rolling in on my Instagram feed. I know it creates a fair bit of controversy amongst the DJ community and that many of the good people at DJ Mag itself see it as a necessary evil to tap into the rise in popularity of the EDM scene across the globe over the past decade but what are everyone's thoughts on here? My first impression is, I have no idea who most of these acts are. My second impression is more positive and it shows just how global the electronic music scene is now, which is wonderful. I wonder what the top ten artists would be on this thread? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll put a shout in for Ben Sims in the thread top 10, please! Ben Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Supernintendo Chalmers Posted October 17, 2021 Report Share Posted October 17, 2021 Have to say that e-Dancer - "Re:Generate" album is one of my releases of the year. Nothing new of course but the remixes give those tunes a wonderful facelift. Been on repeat all weekend. Special Request can do no wrong in my eyes.

His workrate is insane, feels like we get a Special Request or Woolford tune every week and they're almost always top quality. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaxPower Posted October 18, 2021 Report Share Posted October 18, 2021 (edited) Can any other venues in the UK can do large screen visuals the way Printworks can (I.e. fairly high concept, Chemical Brothers style productions)?

Great image! Not one that I'm familiar with. I'd argue that the best venues are those that have been repurposed. Printworks was an inspired choice to use as a venue, I love it there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah yeah it’s pretty crazy what they can do. They somehow have this ability to light the room to make it seem like there’s no back wall and it extends for eternity. When I was last there Patrick Topping had a pretty cool fairly simplistic thing where it was just 3 coloured balls that looked like planets, that would periodically bounce the length of the very long screen, it was mesmerising. and lots of stuff like this IMG_5379.MOV 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Supernintendo Chalmers Posted October 21, 2021 Report Share Posted October 21, 2021 (edited) Starting to make some alternative plans for the week of the Big G, seeing as I'm ticketless and the chances of that changing are slim. There's no way that I can be in the country and not on the farm so I'm considering Awakenings, which I appreciate is also pretty difficult to score tickets for. I'm correct in thinking that it's usually over the same weekend as Glastonbury, right? Has anyone on this fine thread been before? Edit: actually, this might be a non-starter, I'm sure 2020's tickets will have rolled over, too. Gahhhh.

My favourite way to do Fabric Birthday is probably Sunday afternoon to Monday morning. It’s the best vibes. I feel like the 7/8pm sets always go off. Saw Joy Orbison and Ben UFO one year and they killed it. Edited October 23, 2021 by Matt42 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tuna Posted October 23, 2021 Report Share Posted October 23, 2021 Feel like in my mind Printworks was always v temporary - remember being surprised when they announced a second residency. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
