If you want to party with like-minded souls in a fun atmosphere and you're not assed if you've heard Star 69 ten times previously, then head over to whichever of the various sets Norm's playing. I always try to catch one set, just for the vibe, but one will do... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn't he have a new tune with Coxy this year? Will probably be slamming that. It's actually not a terrible tune, bit acidy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then when they are warmed up I can then usually lead them (like a pied piper) onward to other more substantial acts 🙂 (if not I usually go and lose myself alone in SE corner) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blutarsky Posted May 13 Report Share Posted May 13 1 hour ago, Supernintendo Chalmers said: If you've seen one FBS show, you've pretty much seen em all. Preset, heavily edited and unashamedly bags of fun. I find it hard to criticise someone so passionate about the genre, but I would like to see him revert back to his big beat roots from time-to-time, rather than the generic EDM he's spun for the past decade. There's absolutely nothing avant garde about Norm's personality or creative output, he's extremely likeable but I can totally understand why his brand of big-room EDM isn't for all lovers of electronica. But what you see is what you get, and you have to respect the guy's longevity, his musical output spanning thirty years and an obvious love for all things Worthy Farm. Btw, that Snowbombing crowd is great. Kids from all across Europe gathering for the first proper festival of the year. Think Bestival on ice, rather than the Henley Regatta. I've been told - to be fair, the snowbombing comment was snobbish and ill-informed. Mea culpa. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dubnobasswithmyheadman by Underworld and Incunabula by Autechre. Putting on Dubno... first was probably a sliding doors moment for me in terms of being exposed to more intelligent electronica from what I was listening to up to that point. That said, Autechre, and that particular sound has, and probably will always be a touch too intelligent for my limited taste Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
