OK, long post. Strap in. Got pretty obsessed about secret areas (piano bar, rabbit hole etc) in my earliest Glastonbury years and I happened to read this in the build up to the 2016 festival. Jus

OK, here's a post with a whole heap of random info on the electronic artists I like that are playing. Apologies for the ramble.  Also apologies if I've misgendered anyone here, I wasn't thinking at al

No inside knowledge but I reckon it'll be after the payment date. Hope I'm wrong though, a nice post-Lent gift would be sweet

I’ve got a feeling they may drop a stage announcement next week to jolt ticket balance payments, and if the SH lineup is as good as last year it may be a good candidate

Barry can’t swim in Rolling Stone magazine. Big feature. 
 

Don’t get me wrong I think he’s good. But is this guy really the future? I can’t really set him apart from loads of other stuff out there. 

I must be an oddity but I listen to him and Fred again and I don’t hear anything new/ that exciting. It just floats over me. I’m 45 though and listened to dance music for 20 years so maybe that’s the issue.

If you could have a label/organisation curate one stage, who and where would it be?

I know they're not putting things out anymore but if we're talking any era - Good Looking Records/Looking Good Records. Anywhere tbh, but Glade Dome would be nice.

Ltj Bukem and Conrad reunited would be epic

Do you think the issue might be that there aren't many new live dance acts coming through at the moment? I also like Barry's stuff (and will be seeing him this summer for the first time) but I get the impression the media are just looking for someone to be the 'next big thing/next big Fred again..' and he currently fits the bill.

This is of course nothing new, and has been going on for many years now across lots of genres, but the lack of competition and power of social media has definitely fuelled the rapid rise of these two acts.

Barry Can't Swim is a nice, inoffensive, entry level gateway into electronica. And I mean that respectfully. Like Metallica are for people who want to get into metal. Somewhere to start, but after a while you'll be looking for something a little deeper, harder or esoteric

Yes mate. Bukem, Peshay, PFM, Blu Mar Ten. A real shame that GLR disbanded the way it did but what a back catalogue 

Blame too, but I think he had a falling out with Bukem and i'm not sure he DJs anymore.

Zero chance of a Bukem and Conrad reunion. And Conrad offers something different to most DJs much more lyrical.  But most of the time I just want to dj to be shouting bollocks to hype everyone up
