Shangri La Countdown

[Memory Man]

innervisions? yaaaaawn

they're everywhere and it's always the same

they are also probably very, very expensive to book - too much for glasto considering they will almost definitely get a higher £ offer somewhere else in europe that weekend.

Unless you have been booking them since well before they were anywhere near as famous as they are now, they won't "cut you a deal" to play.

the thing with the classic german sounds like kompakt and innervisions is their sound is popular the world over, as well as europe and the UK so everybody wants them - and they wouldn't necessarily see glasto as somewhere they really, really want to play. At the end of the day glastonbury does not offer a world class sound system for DJs to play on for example. Nor a guarantee they will be confronted with their "type" of crowd.

Harry3, I gotta take you to task on this. D&B comes out of several UK cities and regions, notably Birmingham/The Midlands, Bristol and Manchester.

Big UK grime fan like you and would also love see some grime artists and collectives at Glastonbury...

I did say it was a UK sound! You cant deny the biggest lineups are found in London though. Especially Critical @ Fabric

[Northernsoul45]

not surprised im not the only one a bit puzzled by the high number of drum n bass / bass / grime djs & areas in the SE corner.

on a side note, the 2manydjs despacio mix that was on radio 1 at the weekend is the best thing I've heard in ages.

definitely check it out

[Harry3]

well there was absolutely 0 grime last year, and with the amount of house spread across the festival I think we're entitled to a bit/lot of ravey bass music in one area!

I will check out that 2manyDJs mix though.. GTA5 came out for PC last week and Iv been listening to the Soulwax radio station on repeat

I was talking both about the current scene and the history. Londoner perhaps? ;-) Still, good to debate with a fellow fan.

I've never been to Critical @ Fabric - do you recommend?

I might be wrong here, but Drum and Bass seems to be a very london thing.

When I go to london, my mate is always going on about decent nights there. I just don't get it.

My only real gripe about Glasto is there is too much drum and Bass in the SE corner. I need to get to Bez's acid house this year!

Bristol has a big scene, but then most forms of music are strong in bristol. Your right though, there's an awful lot of it late on at the festival. Could do with more variation IMO. Needs More grime, which is possible as it's more mainstream than it's ever been.

[EZYSEY]

That whole Manchester sound is big at the moment. Instrumental grime without 20 Mc's is wicked. The likes of Madam X etc... Really feeling that shit.

Er, there isn't any grime in the South East Corner (to date) and I think the sole representation of it was in some of the stuff Toddla T was playing but I don't recall any grime artists on the bill last year...

Grime is a big UK musical scene full of innovators and people working their arses off often with little commercial backing and deserves to be represented.

Hey Fuzzy Dunlop - Manchester? Yes? Do you know DRS? And some good stuff on at Antwerp Mansion and Soup Kitchen.If you're interested.

Thanks Northern Soul, will check out the 2ManyDJS mix

[FuzzyDunlop]

It might be the circles I go in, but as a genre D+B doesn't register at all.

Techno, trance, psy trance and house music are the electronic music choices. Im hoping to see more of this in the SE corner

Haha no not a Londoner, Im firmly in the middle of the M4, equidistant to London & Bristol!

Probably my age but through reading stuff Ive always associated London, its pirate radio stations, big Jamaican culture and most prominent DJs with bringing about the Jungle sound.

If youre a fan of the deeper, darker side of D&B then yes definitely. Never attracts the usual jumpup wronguns either.

More psytrance is fine by me

[Matt - Ed Banger Records]

I just went and had a look at the 2014 line up because I couldn't believe that there wasn't any grime there, and I was shocked to discover that there really wasn't.

Would be surprised if Novelist and Stomrzy don't pop up somewhere, maybe some of the instrumental grime producers like Dark0 and MssingNo too, I will definitely be looking to find some grime this year.

[Winslow Leach]

A bit of grime would go perfectly in the London Underground, they should really get on that.

Went in there last year.. it really is begging to be a techno venue!

Ben Klock, Adam Beyer, Len Faki

That would be fantastic

[EZYSEY]

You never know Kanye might bring out Skepta and JME again.

With you on techno and house

Yep, they need to get on it

To be honest, trance is an old love. Im not up on it anymore

I saw Blawan in The London Underground on a Thursday night a few years ago I think. He was quality!

Saw Blawan at Bestival at about 5pm on the Sunday in 2012, absolutely skull fracturing stuff - would love to see him playing somewhere, not managed to get into the Karenn stuff as much, just a DJ set somewhere would do me.

Oh man, Blawan at Glastonbury would be too good.

I love Karenn, productions are unreal, really hope to catch them live one day

[zero000]

I'm not sure I could cope with Blawan at Glastonbury. My mind is fucked at the best of times.

Benji B is having a deviation party at Glastonbury and one of his line ups at xoyo had Wiley, Skepta and Zomby
