I'll be almost completely solo this year. Been about 40% solo last two years, mixed response. 2022 I met two strangers at Four Tet and we went on a all night side quest showing a first timer the whole site, finishing off dancing at Iicon til sunrise. Magical. 

Last year didn't have such luck and overheard one group I got chatting to in Shangri-La say to one another "we don't wanna be looking after her all night" so quickly excused myself and kept myself to myself after that.

 

Hoping for more of the former this year as, other than my worker friends, I don't have any other good mates there this year for the first time ever. 

You’re always welcome to tag along with me, as long as you want to be at the stuff I’m at of course!  And this year, you might catch me when I’m not on my tod too!

If anyone wants stupidly cheap last minute tickets for Air this evening at the Royal Albert hall then have a look on a certain ticket resale site that starts with the letter V. There's a pair currently going for £21 (that's for both tickets including fees) in section R in the circle.

 

Little tip: go to the .com version of the site and not .co.uk as they're always cheaper.

 

I wouldn't normally entertain using them at all but in the last few weeks I've managed to get well below face value tickets for Tenacious D, Olivia Rodrigo and now Air.

A question for you E&D ers - how much of your dancing time (if any) do you spend solo? 

 

For live acts, I'm always very happy to go off and do my own thing for a bit, but late night tends to be together. There's only two of us this year so I may be left to my own devices after they retire for the evening, but still want to catch some of the late night offering. My current strategy is just to get down the front where all the energy is and away from the big groups falling around the place on the edges. But any tips appreciated.

 

I quite like spending my dancing time alone if i'm honest. I get to go and see what a want, don't have to talk to anyone and can just concentrate on the music and get into the zone. I inevitably do get talking to people though, as you do.

 

This year a mate into E&D is coming but he doesn't always want to do what I want, he can generally be persuaded though - although I didn't manage to persuade him to come to HAAI's set on Genosys a few years ago and year later he's singing her praises! He does tend to talk a lot when i'm trying to dance and has a tendency to want to see FBS which i'm not into.

Hello fellow Enthusiasts! Haven't been on here for a couple of years, obviously the first port of call when I logged back in! 

 

Really looking forward to some Paranoid London, Ivan Smagghe b2b Manfredas and a couple of sets from The Orb this outing. 

 

No Helena this year (so far) is a bit of a downer.

Same here, not posted since last year ... It's great to be back!  Excitement is building!

 

Looking forward to Dresden as well , seen them twice last year at Love International and The Golden Lion , along with Sean Johnston they are carrying the mantle of the late , great Lord Sabre with quality chug and acid sounds -  Amazing DJs.  I see there's quite a few others from the Spun Out stable on too , Chez de Milo, Felix Dickinson, Dave Harvey. All well worth catching.

This thread already delivering - cheers mate! Felix Dickinson also playing a festival in Ireland I'm going to later in the summer. Recognise Chez de Milo from a few ALFOS EBS tracklists, that's an immediate addition to the list.

Just listened to this set again.

 

They're playing the Assembly on Thursday night.

 

It's a great set - takes its time to reach full gas, which I imagine they'd foreshorten for a proper dance set, but if they play anything like this little beauty, I'll be there with bells on.

Hi All,

 

Long time lurker in this thread so thought I’d get involved. Few questions if I may. Where is the best place to find mixes. I have SoundCloud and Mixcloud but sometimes find it tricky navigating around those platforms. 
 

Secondly; I’ve seen Luke Una getting a fair bit of airtime recently and see he’s due on the Farm next month. Wondered what genre he would be classified as, what to expect, and where to find him.

 

Thanks 🙂

Quite a specific request but would anyone be able to recommend some DJs who are likely to play some Italo Disco in their sets? Palms Trax being one for example. Don't care if it's a big name or DJ playing in some smaller tent. Few of our crew going would lap that stuff up.

Yep. Check out Demi Riquísimo. He's playing a few times, if I recall correctly. He does play other types of house too (I really enjoyed a couple b2b sets with Manami last year), but I reckon he's a good bet to scratch the Italo itch

Depending on what you're into, YouTube is a great source for live sets. Search for Hör Berlin, Boiler Room, Anjunadeep or BOG Bristol for starters. Loads of stuff across all genres amongst that lot on there.

 

Difficult to pigeon hole, is Luke Una. Disco, Balearic house, techno, samba, soul. His sets often transition through them all, it's probably what he's best known for.

Welcome to the thread of threads. 
 

I think Luke Una is going to play House and Disco most of the time, that would work for his Stonebridge set. But he can play techno or even jungle, so who knows for his other, as yet unplaced, set! 
 

We'll know more on Monday (we'd bloody better!)

    • As many said before, not my favourite Primavera. sh*tty weather is something I'm not really used to when enjoying music. Poor communication (more than 1 hour long radio silence during the worst rain) didn't help, but the main problem was me. I decided to leave the venue after things seemed to be getting back to normal. Massive Attack were supposed to play again (with Hymn of the Big Wheel back on the setlist!) as were all other artists on the smaller stages (including Fcukers with one my favourite albums of the year). FOMO was at an all-time high. However, after 4 hours in the rain, I had to admit to myself that I'm not cut out for this. I wasn't even that soaked (water-proof jacket worked). I was just fed up with the rain, wind and cold and wasn't able to enjoy music anymore.   Also, they should stop ignoring the growth of some artists between signing them up and their actual performing. Both PinkPantheress and Ninajirachi sets were ruined for me by completely inadequate stage choice.   However, I felt very much the same way after the 2022 edition and have thoroughly enjoyed all subsequent editions. So I'm still buying early bird tickets for 2027 and hoping this was a hiccup not the start of a downward trend.
    • I will definitely be buying a 2027 early bird pass, partially because of the priority reservation privileges for the Ciutat sets. Hopefully the organization will take action to improve upon this year's failings. Because I thought the free water options and sound quality were an improvement over last year, so clearly they can actually implement positive changes.   I also hope all the douchebag chompers get in the sea, cause I was more bothered by them than in the past few years.   Highlights: The Cure, Ninajirachi, Knocked Loose, Current 93, Blood Orange.    
    • Similar feelings to a few others on here. Not my personal favourite edition but a long way from giving up on it. Felt overcrowded at times and there are just too many people there that don't seem to like music that much! Hardly went to main stages which was the plan. Highlights Ralphie Choo, rusowsky, Gorillaz, Geese, Gelli Haha, The Sophs, PinkPantheress, Dijon. Accommodation booked for next year. Thanks for your company and comments over the past year.
