For this year's edition, NYC Downlow has been expanded and redesigned in the style of a New York "meatpacker's warehouse circa 1982," say the Block9 team. This includes a second room, The Meat Rack, which will host acts like Eats Everything, Fouk and Jo Nathan.

didn't make it in there last year so definitely have to get in this year.

And yet, that holds no interest for me. I love Hot Chip. I like Prince. I would never dance to Prince. 'We' did. In the '80's. It wasn't pretty, trust me...!

Sound at Genosys was fine when I was there for Erol Alkan's acid techno set. Think Tiga was on too and sounded great but that might have been the year before

Just had word from the Bug that he's not playing - he declined their offer.

Really? That's shame, I missed both his sets last year. I wonder why he's on that article. Weird.

Confused by this not dancing to Prince thing - would you just stand still at a gig? Nod appreciatively? <mind blown> How can you not dance to Prince?

Thursday night for Cerrone the sound was about the quietest stage I've ever heard at a festival.  Mik Artistik gets more firepower when he's at the Gateway Riser.

Physically incapable. Although tbf, I also tap one foot if I'm really into something.

I just Tweeted Block 9 saying RA beat them to their own announcement, and they replied "yes and no... ;)"

Very excited for Hot Chip Prince set, always like their cover of Irresistible Bitch. My friend queued next to Alexis for the Shepards Bush gig.

Yeah it is a shame - I missed him last year too but have seen him several times before.  He needs a big system for his music and he's extremely particular about it, so I can only guess that their system didn't meet his expectations.

Just announced the full posters on Twitter.

He's on the poster they just released...

For anyone not on twitter.

Bit gutted really. Sometimes it sucks when the music you like is a niche within a niche.

Fingers crossed for something more to my taste in Shagri La somewhere, but I'm not holding my breath.

Although there's still plenty of great stuff on there, and I'm still gonna have a wicked time regardless.

The sound was terrible unless you were stood right in front of the dj booth. The problem being, when its dark and youre hammered its very difficult to actually find the right side of it. 

 

I remember we waited for about 20 mins for four tet to start thinking it was incredibly quiet only to realise we had to be all the way round the other side.

"This year’s audio upgrade means Genosys will now benefit from the same cutting-edge sound system used by the Pyramid Stage – audiophile heaven!"

well that answers my questions  

[The Red Telephone]

Not sure if this is news, but Emily says a few weeks until full line up

[CaledonianGonzo]

"A couple" = two weeks to go!

[jparx]

24th/26th then I'd guess.

Knowing Glasto HQ though it'll probably drop tomorrow.

Yep it's news!

Shangri la, Glade and Beat hotel this week and next.

 

Week after - CLASH PROBLEMS

[The Red Telephone]

Maybe they'll announce to coincide with some London gigs by some band or other also happening in 2 weeks...

[mungo57]

I like a lot of others like the sound of Hot Chip Prince DJ set on Genosys...... shame I will be the only one in my crew that does!

Still, I might fuck off to that for an hour and can always meet the rest of them in the Unfairground after, thats where they usually end up going.

Not long now!

[danbailey80]

I can maybe see another venue or area getting their own announcement. Don't ask me what though.
