Did any of those at field day watch Moodymann then? @Winslow Leach @OBface I think this is at you two 

Just seen an article saying he played Sex on Fire by KOL which is the biggest LOL I've ever seen 

I saw moodyman and I have to say it was the worst set of the day. He started off by playing purple haze which I thought was slightly odd but didn't question it too much and then when he started playing dnb, future and the Beatles I thought 'naaaa'

I had previously stated fears in hear that the man has absolutely gone at the game lately. Shame to hear that

Was shocking. No attempt to even mix, just fade out one song, play something different... could have been any old twat with an iPod on shuffle. Weren't even good boogie tunes like.

Yeah, I heard from friends who were there, it was very poor. They left after about half an hour !

Question: Anyone been to the Rabbit Hole?, Whats it like as a venue?, Is it one in one out?

Want to go there late on the thursday night to catch Nick Warren.

Thanks

 

Rabbit Hole itself can get busy but I've never had to queue to get in there.  Warren's playing a new part though (Funkingham Palace), so no-one knows yet how that'll be set up.  I'd be tempted to stop in for a recce and a drink sometime earlier in the day if you definitely want to make it inside.

Haven't seen the bloke in half a decade and had such fond memories too! At least Nina made me happy

Nina was great wasn't she! Apparently she hated it though according to twitter, she felt that the sound was awful for her, though I didn't really notice too much where I was standing

A review of EPIC 5.0 and what I saw in Ibiza.....

EPIC was very good. Got in there to see Cristoph - someone I wasn't really familiar with. He played a good mix of tech classics (Oxia - Domino was the first tune he played) and some newer Prydz sounding stuff. I really enjoyed him.

George Fitzgerald was excellent. Techno, a great warm up for prydz, but....

Kolsch was on afterwards and was pretty boring. Started with some chumpy crap house tune (I like house, but this was bobbins) and only slightly picked up.

Prydz was very good, after a pretty slow start, once on/off lazer beams started he kicked into it. The production was brilliant and I am very glad I went. One thing - once we got let out of the park we had nowhere to go. No directions, phones not working.

Ibiza - Cocoon. Saw Dorian Paic who was good. Played a top warm up set - then Illario Alicante.... someone I had never seen before - banging techno from the second he started. Classic trance style noises running through it, basslines and a proper groove. My kind of thing tbh. Played a remix of DJ Rush "Motherfucking Bass" which I think will end up being massive.

Left after an hour of Nina Kravitz who was good, but not as good as Alicante.

Saw Eats Everything b2b with Hot Since 82 at Mambo - really good. House and techno, great setting. I love café mambo. On the rocks and steps in front, sun going down, best way to end a holiday.

Thanks for your report, Fuzz.

Glad you had a good time.

Glad George F was good too - I saw him for (just :( ) 2 hours on Friday and he was excellent - mostly techno with a bit of Ibiza ravey stuff too and it was great. My last pre-GF warm up.

I think you'd have liked Alicante, with the exceptions of "motherfucking bass" and a remix of "Age of Love" - there it was a vocal free zone. The boiler room set I have found is different to how he played... but it was a peak time set at Amnesia, so a very different setting!

George was really good, we all enjoyed him. He had been on my to see list for a while and I'm pleased he is getting good reports from others too.

I saw him DJ just after the album came out and he was decent enough, but hadn't even realised he was back DJing until I saw his name on the list, would guess he plays straight up house and disco, and drops a few of his own productions in there to keep the crowd interested in watching him play.

As this seems to be a thread that talks about all sorts of non-Glasto related stuff (but still dance). And there seems to be a  good community spirit here with reviews and what not. Do you guys stay on here all year round or just the run up to and come down for the festival?

    • If you had to come through the fence after coming down the hill if you weren’t already down the hill then you were probably in general. From there the blocks of toilets, showers and water points aren't far at all and to your right is aldi. I know of the lake but apparently it fills up super quick and is noisy and loads of bugs....I got bitten as it was lol. But I joined a solo camp WhatsApp group so followed them.

    • They are going to have Blink 182 for sure, early June upto around Werchter weekend I'd say for them. Two of Sweden Rock,  Greenfield and RFP are going to miss out.
    • I've come across a few this weekend saying Deftones aren't big enough for Download.   I would recommend b&b hotel hbf the night before....cheap, comfortable and very decent. Within 10 minutes from the station and a tram stop outside to jump on...all travel is free during the festival time as well with a kombi. Lidl is very good and cheap I can't lie....€6 for a chair with carey handle, €20 with a bag too...you can work that out yourself.   If you camp, get up at 5am and go to the queue....literally don't question it as now I know.     The travel wise part is easy when you get the hang of it and I've never had an easier exit from a festival today tbh. We were camped in the turn left section but past the registration and to get water you have to come right out.   Opening up an exit through he camp at least by Friday morning when everyobe is there would be much better but you csnt walk through general if you're green and sonon.   I think the issue for me probably too is I have never taken like a mutliple litre water too, I've always done a 6 pack water from like poundland lol but you definitely need it. I had one shower that was cold lol   Talking of getting into the front, Volbeat was the only easy one, for Maiden and especially Linkin Park if you weren't in the queue for it by at least the last quarter ot Architects you had no hope....it was shocking. I do like orbit to sit down. I had to decide to sack off Within Temptation too or no chance.   Second stage biggest gripe is the faff of walking all the way round when VIP or whatever it is literally get access to each bit. I did read tbh before going people though RIP/Ring was turning too much the wrong way.   Also as a side note, caught some of Limp Bizkit last night too and they are not headliner but any distance at all. Yes they pull a crowd...they would do with LP finished but on the grand scale its a super weak booking. Stop, start for video recordings all the way through a headline set?, 1hr 15 minutes and you can't play for that time. I'm so glad they were not chosen to headline main.   On another thing, if RIP played it right they'll get GC and Avril to sub/second stage headline on the Blink day.   Toilets and cleanliness is a big plus I will say that.
