Nope, it's just a list of random names as far as I'm concerned

[Matt42]

If you don't know any names on a list of a lineup maybe you're out of touch with music instead of the music being out of touch with you

Divulge because there's some great stuff there

Matt42 getting catty now that his rating isn't negative anymore

[CaledonianGonzo]

I only ever listen to redneck Bro-Country.  Why have I not heard of any of the acts playing the Spooky Dub Shack?

[Skoo]

Well this is all very exciting indeed.

I didn't make it to SEC last year and I've never been to NYC Downlow - definitely on the list for this year.

So top tip is to get there before headliners finish from what I'm reading. And to buy a stick on moustasche earlier in the day to avoid the queues yes?

[MrMac]

Earl Jeffers!! ... absolutely AWESOME news!!!!

Nope.  Just pick one at random and sound excited

If you head down there on Thursday early evening you can get in without any trouble at all, just make sure to keep the moustache you purchase for future visits - I have always lost mine and had to repurchase, but it's for charity so no great drama.

Erm, where did I imply that there was a problem?

Awesome article I just found, about the NYC Downlow.

"He says the dream is for Masters At Work to play. If Kenny and Louie read this, they would do well to get on board."

Surely you know Kevin Saunderson??

Saw MAW at a small club in Edinburgh in about 2003... 2004?

Shit went down.

[___S_o_m_a__]

And MAW playing the Downlow?

Start queuing now.

absolutely stellar mix from start to finish. If you want to see the maturest and most polished form of house music about then Steffi is the one.

Cheers for the nod Matt, I appreciate it, but I'm not sure it's my bag. Not sure what I'd do during it other than stand there swaying smashed out of my tits on MD, or is that the whole point? It's slow I guess is what I'm getting at, need something with a faster tempo/beat. Got any other recommendations for someone who likes to move it?

That's PARTLY the point. 

I mean, you don't just...'sway'.

Well, I suppose you COULD!

They're quite separated by venue. NYC Downlow will host more housey/disco sounds. Genosys has more of a techno edge - both that classic Detroit & more modern, I guess, "European". London Underground is a bit muddier I guess, but somewhere inbetween. Though I've never been in, so don't know what the vibe is like. I'd suggest popping by the Electronica/Dance thread - it'll get more traffic and everyone in there is sound - with a few examples of what you like/know. 

Fair play, I'm normally so fucking far gone by the time I reach the SE Corner I have no idea what I'm doing. This year I might try and show some restraint and actually check out the diff areas. Thanks a lot

Nope. Was he in Inner City then?

Why does the "after dark/SE corner" stuff always veer towards DJs and electronica. Are there any actual musicians in that lot, or is it all just DJs, programmers and people shouting incomprehensibly into mics?

Now I'm implying a problem @Matt42 

[funkyuk]

MAW will be epic.  Queueing isn't something anyone should have time for at glastonbury, so I dont expect to see them.  The Defected mixtapes will give you some idea of how many massive club tracks they have been behind:

 

[Memory Man]

Shangri La has many live acts i.e bands on both the hell stage and down in the rocket lounge

Won't rise to this but if you delve into what's on offer you'll find a wide range of music styles represented in the SE corner. And yes, I would class many of them as musicians

I dare you to look at what Blawan does live and say he isn't a musician. 

 

Here's a kinda idea
