[CaledonianGonzo]

AWESOME TAPES FROM AFRICA!

[Gnomicide]

Heard of none of them like, but it's nice to get any announcement.

[Alcatraz]

AWESOME TAPES FROM AFRICA!

A wonderful website if anyone is not aware of it

[___S_o_m_a__]

DJ Pierre in The Downlow gonna be epical.

[lukemack1]

Pierre and Eats Everything Should be great.

Shame there's know one of Morrales calkibre like last year, highlight of the festival his set.

[Jonohorse]

Eats Everything in Downlow and Erol at Genosys will be amazing.

[Northernsoul45]

^{pretty decent list of names so far for block 9 (and nice they are opening early)....great news}

[CaledonianGonzo]

A wonderful website if anyone is not aware of it

They'll be hammering that Ata Kak album for sure.

Loefah & youngsta some quality dub in there

[EZYSEY]

Loefah & youngsta some quality dub in there

Loefah doesn't really play dub anymore. But the stuff he is playing is fucking awesome. Such a good Dj.

Mella Dee is a good producer as well. Pioneering that whole industrial house/techno sound with big jungle influences.

[BlackHole2006]

YEAH! HORSE MEAT DISCO!

[Memory Man]

Boring... Block 9 needs a shake up.

[djcolsen]

Marcus Intalex will be heavy, guessing Drs will be with him having confirmed he is there again, best MC in the business

[Harry3]

Boring... the whole SE corner needs a shake up.

What would you prefer?

[frostypaw]

Boring... the whole SE corner needs a shake up.

Too damn right - obvious from the hyperbole:

"A 24-hour wonderland of heavyweight sound systems, underground nightclubs, huge artworks and extremely alternative performance"

So one outdoor stage, one indoor stage and a pastiche of a gay nightclub with *gasp* trannies you mean? Extremely open only for 12-14 hours of that 24 hours you mentioned?

I am being cruel but they're asking for it dressing it up like it's the promised land. Shangri-la learnt that from LV's nosedive, the common shook itself up, B9 need to do the same I reckon

[VisionOfLove]

Eats Everything in NYC YES!!

[Matt - Ed Banger Records]

Massively hyped for Loefah from that announcement

[Cieran]

Can't contain my excitement!!

[bigbilly]

Agree that as a concept its not changed that much. A new stage would be nice. Saying that the production is amazing and I love getting twisted around there

[ghostdancer1]

nice lineup, Robert Hood, Phuture, Erol, Eats Everything, Prosumer, Loefah, Youngsta, Fabio, and a few more would all get a look in.

[OBface]

Was really hoping for a MCDE or Moodymann set in NYC Downlow but will take the line up we have so far
