I hope there's a techno night at Arcadia too. There's so much DnB at Glastonbury and it's not really my thing. Friday night last year was one of the best dance nights of my life. True story.

I'm hopfull the glade will throw up someone... Carl Cox on friday has potential to be very very special. Hopefully he has a decent supporting cast.

As an aside Ben - this guy is on in the Silver Hayes:

Yes, bloody brilliant, Fuzzy, and part of the Holy Trinity from last year's epic Fricadia!

Where do you think he'll play? Please not in Wow at a time when the world and his uncle are trying to cram in there. I need at least a little space to dance...

Roger Sanchez? Does that mean I have to wander around the site holding a big heart all weekend?

I think there's more chance of Prince & Bowie appearing as special guests with Radiohead for a secret headliner spot after Adele on the Saturday night 

do they not get on anymore? not really a big DnB fan, but loved the Progression Sessions series, particularly vol.5

They fell out big time over money and god knows what else. Lots of very public ranting online by Conrad and various other connected parties. 

Good Looking Records gradually ate itself over the years, so many tales of artists being taken advantage of and various silly beefs. For such a legendary label it was run terribly, now all that's left is Bukem playing the odd set here and there. 

It's a big shame, they had thier own niche carved out that no one else could really touch. Those progession session mixes were brilliant! 

Perhaps the worst thing of all for me is that they're still sat on one of the greatest d&b tunes of all time, still unreleased almost 25 years after being made:

So Shangri-La announcement sometime between thursday and saturday you reckon?

I honestly believe that Jungle/Drum & Bass is one of this country's finest cultural creations in the last century. I'm massively proud that it's still going strong after all these years 

This.

[FuzzyDunlop]

Ive never got drum n bass at all. It sounds too slow to me. (Yes I know the bpm is 170) but people dance really slowly to it. Why? 

Hard House is 20bpm slower, but people dance much much quicker and harder to it.

I think it's a northern thing. We have very few Drum n Bass nights up here. Ive tried, but after about 20 mins - Im bored.

Is it even possible to dance at 170+bpm? Even if I could manage that, what with Glasto already being a marathon coupled with an abundance of DnB on offer I think that would end me by the time Friday hit!

[Ramsden1970]

Probably be a quiet day today then in terms of announcments, need something to keep me busy whilst working

[Ben Holland]

Need some good stuff for the Saturday as thus far with what's been confirmed for the Saturday and what's being rumored, there's a serious lack of interest in more or less everything from me.

Yes.. you don't dance on every beat. You dance on the 1st beat of a bar or the 1st and 3rd.

I didn't realise there was such a science to dancing to music  

I'm in awe of this conversation.

[actionstations]

Hard House goes 'Boom Boom Boom Boom' - 150 booms per minute

Drum & Bass is more like 'Boom Tick Boom Tick' - only 85 booms per minute...

[Junglist1981]

Just wiggle things about in a way that makes you happy

I obviously need more booms!!

Now seems like a good time to repost this 

 

[Junglist1981]

that's amazing

[djdavejohnson]

Ah that explains it then... at least that's only half the effort. Good to clarify as I may have looked a bit of a numpty going in at 170 dance moves per minute
