Last night was fantastic. Sammy Virji, KI/KI, Blumitsu, Ewan McVicar and Joy Orbison were particular highlights. 


Fantastic line up that. 
 

Ki/Ki is one of the best DJs in the world atm.

Hey team electronica,

 

I'm off to this in a couple of weeks, not been to Drumsheds before, any tips/things I should be aware of? 

 

As an old, out of touch man, I'm obviously excited about FourTet, Blawan, Kode9 and the Bug. Anything else there I should be salivating at the thought of? Sorry if these are dumb questions x

I’ll add Hagop to your must see list too - he’s been off the scale good fun both times I’ve caught him. Villager and Chloe  Robinson also well worth seeing.

Already posted in the E&D Whatsapp group but will share my gig review of Kieran here too for posterity...

I think someone (maybe Benny?) is already campaigning to bring back longer sets and this was an absolutely perfect example of why. I missed the first two hours but what I saw was a 6 hour masterclass that was perfectly crafted and had the crowd eating out of the palm of his hands. Was worried he'd go either too techno (last time I saw him at WHP in 2022 this was the case for me), too grime (I'm too old, white and middle class to know what to do with myself) or too gimmicky (we're over the Taylor remix) but it was the absolute perfect balance while keeping the classic Kieran sound. 

By 11pm the ket zombies were creeping out and yet he read it spot on, mixed it up and chucked in the dnb portion, without losing the thread. No-one lost interest at any point. 

Highlights were Neyo - So Sick remix (look right my music taste has been a journey, we were all 17 once), Burial - Street Halo, Opus (I cried), wingdings - I've got feelings, KH - Only Human, but honestly in 6 hours there was too much good to remember it all. 

 

Beautiful crowd, feels a bit vulnerable being solo and sober for that length of time (props to @Kaboom Boxer for offering to meet, was nice to know I had the option) but bumped into another E&Der briefly and was great to say hello (Jim, I dunno your username, sorry!). Rest of the crowd were a real mix, definitely a handful of underage kids in that I've not seen before but they were just having a good time, mix of ages so I didn't feel too old, everyone vibing. Chatter as can be expected but everyone danced the whole time front to back. Didn't see any dickheadery (although I pretty much stuck in two spots back right and front left all night). 

 

Haven't done a concourse only set before and I LOVED that setup - felt like the old Store Street, less general f*ckery of people wandering about aimlessly and missing the music when they have fewer options. I hadn't really clocked that at Depot before but I'd definitely like to see more of those shows there throughout the year. Bar was well-staffed, no queues, enough toilets, and - gasp - actual soap and water for handwashing. I don't know what this brand of clubbing is but as someone in their mid 30s I'm all for it. 

 

Only slight criticism is the sound... Was better when I trotted round to the front but overall there was too much emphasis on the bass. I felt the vibrations go up my nose three times. Tinnitus is roaring today despite having my loops in the whole time. They could have pulled back on that a little without losing anything in the crowd cos it sounded even worse at the back. I don't know anything about sound engineering but surely it's possible? 

 

Overall 8/10 - would've been a 9.5 if mates had made it and I'd indulged. 

 

I dunno where you put him at Glastonbury now. I worry that if Fred is headlining he'll just get a shoe-in as a special guest there and that'll be all, because any smaller shorter sets people will just turn up at on the off chance Fred and Sonny turn up. Having seen the longer sets now too, he just can't do himself justice any more in the shorter slots, he's too prolific at this point. Does Glasto ever do all night long sets? He'd be perfect for one on Levels/iicon/genosys, but it would deprive a lot of other artists of opportunities, so I dunno if it would happen. 

 

Anyway. Kieran forever ❤️
