Ah, well. Perhaps this mini-doc might whet your palette. I reckon everyone needs some Drexciya in their lives and Dopplereffekt is the progeny.

Hey, I'm open to any new music on this thread. I'll check it out this afternoon

Prosumer is usually nailed on for Genosys/Block9 isn't he? 

Isn’t he usually in NYC Downlow?

Intel on other threads is suggesting Saturday or Sunday night Sonic headliner, I think

Hmm, vs Macca or Bicep. 

Having seen Orbital a few times I fear they'll miss out in those battles. Always interesting seeing how my mind works when actually in the field though 😂

Orbital v Bicep would be just awful

Surely they won’t put them up against Bicep…

That was enjoyable, thanks for sharing. What an interesting concept.

Pretty sure I've seen him close to early doors on Genosys too.

The team behind Love Saves The Day festival have taken over running the Silver Hayes area so with that there's potential for a revamp which possibly would then include a larger outdoor dance stage perhaps?

With Fatboy Slim and Orbital headlining (bringing the associated large crowds with them) I'd sway towards the above being a strong possibility.

An outdoor dance stage would be great I think, something like that Dekmantal one would be awesome!

I don't think it would be too absurd if Bicep weren't looking to be the largest dance headliner this year (assuming nobody is added against Macca on Other)

I'm sure we saw Prosumer in that boat in Silver Hayes too. It was during the day.

Yeah generally he plays a set in NYC Downlow and/or Genosys

Bicep are basically the new Orbital

Interesting, i hadn't really thought about it but now you say it I guess so. Too many clashes man!

Well, since Orbital have a tune called Belfast, Bicep need to write one called Otford.

Lots of research to do before this year's festival, especially with the long break since the last one. I'm getting to the stage where I often don't recognise any of the electronic acts on a lineup.

A DJ set would be much appreciated. Fairly sure they played Arcadia in 2011, but missed it due to my friend having a complete meltdown.

Would love to see Gerald Donald's Dopplereffekt at the farm.

I've no intel, just thinking wishfully; putting it out there cos I've been enjoying the new tracks and I'm excited for the album to drop

 

Bloody hell, that's good! Bleepy, glitchy, acidy live electro? I rather think so...

Well Bicep is a good place to start. Bloody amazing.

Stay on this thread, it's been an invaluable source of information on all things electronic at Glastonbury for years

[BigMarv]

Initially I thought I’d be pretty surprised if Orbital was scheduled directly vs Bicep. As much for the acts as anything else. While not exactly the same, would a Sonic headliner steal an Other stage headliners crowd dependent on weather, for example?

After further consideration, would be convenient to see both acts with that location: know I saw both Chemical Brothers (DJ Set) and Fatboy Slim (Live) in 2005 with the proximity of the two.

For sure. I've discovered a few absolute gems in here even though I only drop in occasionally. HAAi Above the Parakeets being one!

Overmono are very good. Stupidly good. 

[Freddyflintstonree]

As someone who has only very recently got into this sort of music, (Bicep specifically), who are the 'staples' to listen to first? Thanks so much!

Yeah I keep hearing about them, any sets in particular you would recommend? Didn't like their tracks on Spotify so just assumed I wouldn't like their dj sets either.

Yes, that HoB weekend looks great! Big fan of Henry Saiz' work. Danny Howells is one of the nicest guys on the scene, too. I know for sure that if he's not playing, he'll more than likely be at the festival. Probably with the likes of Cattaneo, Sasha, Diggers, Warren, etc. In fact, if at least two of those aren't in and around the Glade this year, I'll be amazed

Indeed. I'd be surprised if Sasha isn't here this year. He tends to paly every other year and it's been 5!. Nick warren and Dave Seaman virtually every single year. Digweed absolutely loved it last time so could come straight back.

As in modern acts? Or the roots of electronica?
