loveddd the final credits drop from tasman - looking like a really good one tonight, have fun! xx

anyone else think blawan’s set was really off today at MV? first time listening so maybe i’m missing something but thought the mixing was crap and track selection really poor too. Especially towards the end really didn’t vibe with it

on the other hand james newmarch voicedrone was excellent as ever really good way to shut the festival down and best set of the day for me

how did everyone find it, how long did you wait, what was your fav set?

personally was a massively noticeable difference between monday and sunday with monday much better - was ridiculously busy sunday

adding mc chickaboo to james newmarsh and voicedrones set was an incredible touch, was set of the weekend imo , but overall great celebration of one of the best london events about and an incredible achievement to everyone involved

looking at the ig story today they had 10% of tickets this morning and are on course to sell out this eve. Has it ever sold out before? Maybe my memory is just shit

And is this even a good thing lol. Without sounding like the most pretentious cunt, I’m a bit worried the crowd is going to get a lot worse this year it definitely seems houghton is becoming more well known and with that comes (definitely not everyone) the gearhead laddy crowds and chatterboxes

I definitely trust in the programming and the lineup is of course stacked so hopefully they’ll be putting unai same time as joy o lol

2nd release of artists announced today. Full programme now I believe. Shame there’s no skee mask but banging lineup regardless

Just want to show some love to midland, a really excellent show at koko tonight. Both for his own set and the night curation - not super ‘overloady’ but one of the best events i’ve been to

Shy one and Yu Su were brilliant supporting and a stellar set from midland to round the night off, superb track selection and taking on a journey from dubstep to disco. Koko is also a great venue (for central london) and for once in london had a fairly decent crowd. Couldn’t recommend seeing him enough if you haven’t already

A discussion prompted by trawling through some sets. There seems to be an abundance of dance ‘classics’ from the 90s and earlier that get played in the crowd pleaser, end of festival etc slot.

Music sounds better with you, i feel love, strings of life, let me be your fantasy etc (and away from the 90’s would say the UK g classics of 00’s)

The nostalgia of that era, the DJs who play them now growing up on them, and combined with the fact they’re timeless bangers makes them classics, importantly being fairly recognisable to pretty much everyone with more than a passing interest in dance music.

But can this happen again in this ‘era’? What would be the equivalent tracks that you can see D
