Just got round to finishing this, very very good.

 

That's thrown a real spanner in the works for my Thursday night

Hi everyone,

New poster here but been on the boards for a while and have never posted anything before. I messaged Fabric resident Bobby and he said that a secret thing at the Silver Hayes will be announced next week with him on the line-up so I will be keeping an eye out for that as he's a top DJ. Check this mix here. 
 

Also, not sure if anyone has recommended Christian AB b2b Quest on the Flying bus Sunday night / Monday morning. Two great DJs unearthing all sorts of unknown house, techno, UKG and other wonky strains of music. Hoping to catch them if I can get into the SEC after PSB! 

Some mixes of theirs to give you a flavour:

Thanks everyone who’s contributed to this - really helpful for someone like me who’s way out of touch with the dance scene 😄

I did genuinely laugh out loud at the “ bland” tag for FBS. 😂

[Zig-A-Zig-Ah]

Anyone know what happened to Dixon? was there a reason or did he just disappear?

[Tom White]

The google doc is such a good resource. Many thanks to everyone who has contributed. 

Currently listening to the Four Tet set linked in the sheet. I've followed them for years - but only really their albums - can't wait to hear them do a 'DJ' at the farm.

Four Tet might be my most anticipated act of the weekend! your definitely not alone in liking them

[Tom White]

Along the Four Tet lines (kinda...) is anyone aware of acts who have a Kiasmos/Olafur Arnalds style?

Couple of things:

1. @Tom White - why are you referring to Four Tet in the plural?! It's a bleedin' him! 😂. And his headline on Park could be pretty special. 

2. Kiasmos-type stuff. Not really, I don't think. Closest would probably be Bonobo's instrumental tracks, I guess. 

3. ALL - I'm planning on posting some stuff about possible meet-up sets for the E/D massive. So far I think we'll do Overmono on IICON on Friday (plus and cheeky little extra of Client_03 in Shangri-La at 0300h), Palms vs Job Jobse on Saturday, and am yet to confirm one for the Sunday. Am discussing too on Discord, as I'm active on both platforms' threads. 

Ideas for an evening (pre-headliner) or late late set on Sunday are very welcome. We're also discussing how best to arrange to meet at the stage, as IICON, for example, is bloody massive!

So ideas on that also very welcome. Will post all the details once all decided, but I am determined not to go through yet another Glastonbury meeting none of the brilliant people in the E/D thread.

Does anyone know the name of the stage. I think in Shangri La. It's a bowl shape where you're able to stand on the terraces around it?

 

Probably poorly explained haha

It's the Temple. It's in The Common (other side of the Railway Line to Shangri-La) and when it's buzzing, it's a bloody fantastic place!

Had a quick flick through the spreadsheet (s/s?) and there might be a reason for it but no Stanton Warriors on there? Breakbeat, UK Garage, House type stuff, playing Glade Dome Thursday night 00:10 - 01:25. Never seen them but they pop up in a lot of the same places as Dub Pistols so heard about them that way. Might well be checking them out.

I am, of course, aware of the difficult situation that occurred a few weeks ago, and the subsequent setting up of the Discord channel etc. 

People used to my posts will know that I would only ever put stuff in to try to be helpful and inclusive, rather than to cause office/upset etc.

With that in mind, and purely as it would work better logistically, we have now set up a thread in the G Discord called 'Electronic and Dance Meet-Up'.

The idea is to use that thread over the festival 'exclusively' as a tool to try to meet up with others from that thread and this one. We've talked every year about trying to do so! I think the best way would be to use what3words, especially in venues as big as IICON, assuming the 'net coverage is good enough. Alternatively, you could just post your rough location, description etc.

I won't link it here, but there are quite a few dual-platform users, and if I can find and use Discord as well as post here, then you lot can easily bloody find it! 

It would be ace to meet some of this gang and have a dance together.

Second Skream set on the Thursday: 

[JoeyT]

Folks, how rammed are we thinking Sasha’s set in the Glade will be on Thurs? A case of arriving crazy early?

Pretty rammed. It's the Thursday thing.

[Tom White]

@bennyhana22, I'm going to try and figure out Discord. And then we can make sure we meet up to see thems Four Tets 😉😆

As it's an open-fronted tent now it might not matter so much? More like a stage.

There used to be a stage in Shangri-La with with kind terraces around two sides where you could look down on the dance floor

How long have we known it looks like that? First I’m seeing if it and not sure what I think!

Hell I think. Remember watching something down there with people up on the sides

Nah, Hell was just a pretty big open stage - pretty much the same as Truth (may even be the same rig) but in a different position in SLa. Heaven was white and curved and I think had some platforms around the perimeter.
