Elton v Fred clash poll

[Zoo Music Girl]

I'd be at Elton between those two, but could just as easily be elsewhere. Haven't heard much Fred, seems quite fun but probably be more chances to see him and I'll be knackered by Sunday.

Just another angle. Still right though.

He's an act for the picnic blanket posse and those who got lost on their way to a Stately Home somewhere.

Another thread for everyone to say the same things… again.

I actually think it says a huge amount that 12% of the efests demographic is intending to see Fred over Elton (if that happens). I've got a feeling his set is gonna be rammed, regardless.

Depends what stage he’s on, if it’s WH then it’ll be rammed irrespective of the night and who he’s up against. If its Other then it will be fine and nothing out of the ordinary crowd wise.

Well this whole discussion topic has already been had elsewhere. Fairly unsurprising.

In fairness, I voted Fred because there wasn't an 'undecided / don't want to think about it' option. I can't be the only one.

Not convinced that seeing Fred would be the right choice, no matter how much you enjoy his music, as he's going to be around a long time, without a doubt. I can see him being a regular at the farm even. Elton is a once in a lifetime kinda thing.

Yeah, hit the nail on the head with this one. Although I think me and my group will be much more set on Elton, as we've all seen Fred a couple times, it still will be a tough clash to choose - but very very likely we will set on Elton, or maybe doing a bit of both, but can't really see us doing that. If Fred *does* clash with EJ, I just hope he does a couple more sets elsewhere, ideally Arcadia with Skrillex and Four Tet, then it'll make the blow softer, and if Fred's 'main' set is on Sunday, it hopefully rules out The Prodigy clashing with EJ too (really don't want to manifest any of these clashes though into existence).

Fred and Calvin are totally different animals. 

[ghostdancer1]

Hardly totally different.

Both are producers making commercial/mainstream pop-house music, primarily build around vocals, with occasionally cheesey elements. Harris has leant into the cheese/pop side of it a lot more as he's gotten much bigger, and working with superstars, but Fred isn't far off. Main difference is that Fred's vocals are overwhelmingly samples, whereas Calvin's were purpose written/recorded.

Yeah I’d agree, they’re both very much on the commercial/mainstream end of dance. I think the issue is people like to think that isn’t the case with Fred and he’s somehow edgy and cool because they like him, but by definition that isn’t the case.

Calvin makes pop music. Albums were centred around collaborations with massive artist to garner chart success.

That’s not what Fred has done, up to this point anyway.
