[Madyaker]

For anyone who doesn't know Sunil Sharpe he's a quality DJ from Dublin, he's been a big part of the Irish techno scene for years.

For someone who doesn't like dance music this has been a frustrating week to end a frustrating month waiting for an announcement! Hoping for something more to get my teeth into next week.

just read that as Miliband instead of Midland, that'd make a very interesting b2b

I read it as Milburn, nearly fell off my chair

Likewise. Can't wait for the rest of the SE corner line up now, could well be the best yet.

That's how I feel, though I'm not surprised. There seems to be a big difference in the kind of electronic music that is popular in the UK and the one that's popular in Germany. Am I right in thinking that Drum 'n' Bass is still a very big thing in the UK? For me the only acts standing out are Four Tet (and he's playing almost every year) and Floating Points. I would love to see more acts like DJ Koze, John Talabot, Modeselektor, Solomun, Pantha Du Prince, Christian Löffler, Howling etc. on the lineup. I know many of those have played Glastonbury in some year, but they're always hugely outnumbered by Drum 'n' Bass and Dubstep. Is this a Glastonbury specific kinda thing or does it reflect the general taste of the UK?

[Madyaker]

I wouldn't be a major fan of drum n bass or dubstep. Dubstep in particular got boring very fast, not sure why it's still around. I'm more of a house, disco, techno listener but there's still plenty on that and Silver Hayes list for me and more to come in The Glade I assume?

I may be biased, but I think that D&B is kinda in the blood of the UK now, in a similar way to Techno in Germany (although perhaps not to the same extent). Took a while to be like that, and it's certainly not everyone's cup of tea, but it's an organically British sound with a lot of history that many people can't resist having a little drunken skank to, hence its ubiquity in festival lineups these days.

I might well be wrong as I'm not as down with the kids as I used to be, but I would say that most of the acts you've mentioned might be considered a little more niche here (fourtet and floating points aside) and whilst they might still pop up on the lineup they're less likely to be on the bigger  dance focused stages.

Much more lineup to come yet though. My taste in D&B is quite particular, I'm not really a fan of the big stage acts such as Sub Focus etc, and so I often have to seek out stuff on smaller stages too.  Friday night in London Underground is normally very much my cup of tea, and that can't be more than 5 or 6 hundred capacity.

Glade or Avalon next please, always a few to pick from those line ups.

[Guest]

Are we predicting the full line up by the first two weeks of May?

[Gnomicide]

Yes. Yes we are.
