I don't think Ableton was out last time I saw him intentionally!

I see him on his first Uk tour in 2008 and he was using it then.

I love The Blues and wanted to see FBS but it was so busy you couldn't move and decided to go elsewhere. Took about 15mins to move 30 yards to the edge of the crowd.

Jaguar Skills doing a secret set on friday in Pussy Parlure was exceptional though.

I've yet to see a good set at Sonic but I think that's more to do with the stage and the location TBH. 

I really enjoyed Annie Mac before him but that was probably due to sobering up as to why I was disappointed. But I agree, there's way too much sound bleed in the whole of that area.

First UK tour in 2008? Really? Didn't he tour for the 12 year prior?

[stardustjunkie]

Despite the fact that he seems to play multiple times every year, every stage he plays at is rammed. It's impossible to even walk through Silver Hayes if he is playing in there.

I probably got closer to him than his hard core fans have managed to at Glastonbury. I watched Stevie Wonder in 2010 and he was stood with Zoe Ball behind us.

You've made me think now. Did he? Under the name of Deadmau5?

I had never heard of him until i see him sub Fatboy Slim at Wireless.

Hang on, have we been at cross purposes for the past few posts? I'm still talking about Fatboy Slim, not Deadmau5. I've not seen Deadmau5, but I believe he puts on a bit more of a show than Norman.

Maybe there could be a big beat special featuring Fatboy, Derek Dahlarge, Jon Carter, Bentley Rhythm Ace , Propeller Heads and The Wiseguys.

As far as I can remember big beats popularity coincided with a dearth of quality drugs and was quite popular as it sounded good when you were pissed and doing amyl nitrate/ Next thing you know the strong pills reappeared and everyone was listening to Dutch Trance and sticking glow in the dark clothes pegs on their heads..

Even though I was there at the time I've no idea if any of this is true. I just wanted to say that this is an absolutely cracking 'theory' though.

 

Weirdly enough I'm actually going to see A-Skillz at Koko tonight (and if I think a out it, chances are that I will indeed just get pissed).

An interesting article from Damien Harris the founder of Skint Records on the Big Beat scene.

Some of it was pretty good to fair such as this Jon Carter selection

I like Damian Harris. Weirdly enough he features on Alan Davies' Arsenal podcast (they went to uni together apparently) and he seems a really likeable guy. I'm not even a Gunner but it's a good listen.

Haha apologies. I was talking about Mau5.

[CaledonianGonzo]

Jon Carter's Live At The Social Volume 2 is an absolute classic. It's a carnival in a can.

Wall of Sound records hosted a Silent Disco in the Sonic tent a couple of years back, I think.

Norman just said on 6music that he's playing on JP this year, not sure if that's already in here.

[srb]

Just heard that too. Would expect he will headline then

Quite looking forward to catching that if I can!

[Mouseboy11]

What's he like nowadays? His Creamfields set from a few years ago looks awful

Guess that makes it more likely that he'll be playing a proper set of his own tunes rather than what he usually does on site. Also explains why he's on the poster

It would be cool if they've managed to extend the licence for the JPT a bit because of its move, allowing them to have late night 'closing' sets in there. So Underworld on the Friday, Fatboy on the Saturday and Annie Mac on the Sunday. 

Obviously thats a pipe dream but still

That would be amazing. Let's go with that 

[EFC1996]

Attempted to see him at the blues stage, absolutely awful couldn't hear the music and couldn't move, thankfully seen him at the stronebridge bar on the Sunday where he played his secret set and he was brilliant.

That's a cracking theory that I'd love to be true but can't see it
