Electronica/Dance

[SouthbanKen]

Got my tickets for the first time in a couple of years, so delighted to be able to be back on efests (and of course the Electronic / Dance thread) without getting all depressed. 

 

Warming up with Prodigy (and the always awesome Jaguar Skills) pre Christmas at Brixton Academy. First time seeing prodigy since Keef passed - gonna be a good one.

They were fab last year at ally pally - my show of the year!

 

Looking forward to brixton - i'm doing the late show (all my mates wanted to - seem pointless as it ends just after last tube, confused what the point is honestly lol)

[SouthbanKen]

Did not realise that there were different timings for the shows - turns out we are the late show as well, although not so much of an issue as we will almost certainly drive in (we're not big drinkers anyway) and its just so much easier / more pleasant for us coming from the burbs rather than a 2/3 hour tube / train / taxi home.

Brixton and the prodigy is the perfect match. Insane gigs there. I was there for Keefs last gig and the first without him

They toured plenty last year, both as Soulwax and as 2ManyDJs. 

 

And they continue to produce plenty on Deewee. 

 

No idea about a farm appearance.

You're not alone in that. A 2ManyDJs set in one of the new SH areas would be great fun.

They're on the festival circuit in Australia over summer so presumably will be active over the European festival season too!

Soulwax live at Glasto would go down an absolute STORM! I can definitely see it happening this year :))

Upperground last night at Drumsheds was the fourth Friday this season where they shuffled the line up and only opened X and Z rooms. £6 tickets on Tickets for Good were available a couple of days beforehand and they've also already listed them for Hydra presents Honey Dijon's House Nation, which is still a couple of weeks away.

 

Last weekend with Dom Dolla was a weird one as it was 'sold out' but they still shut Y and moved some of the DJ's from there to the other two rooms. Was also an announcement this week that they're planning a limited run of shows for Spring so looks as if things aren't going as well as they'd like at the moment?

Not sure if the issue is too many events or the fact the venue is massive, so they probably need 10,000 or so in each night to make it viable? I'd be happy if they did some where they closed the main room and only opened Y and Z. Capacity for those two is about 6,000 so gives more options around the line up.

The other way they could go is to book a few nights with the likes of Calvin Harris and Swedish House Mafia, which would sell out pretty much straight away, and offset some of the other events that don't do so well. Doubt they'd want to go down that route as it's against brand and not what they're about really. Needs must and all that though...
