Just got tickets to see Jeff Mills on the 23rd of December should be a cracking pre Christmas night and without the crowded pubs!
Would love to see him on the spider though.

Any E&D forumites in attendance at Four Tet tonight? And re: Glastonbury next year, a long set by Laurent Garnier would be amazing 

[EighteenSixty7]

Dusky album anyone?

Tomorrow night for me. Actually perfectly happy with the Daphni/Jamie xx switch.

Have a good one!

How amazing would an Elrow carry on be on the Blues stage?

Elrow needs a slightly more enclosed space for me.

Thursday night The glade does Elrow would be better in my opinion.

I'd be happy with him playing "Man with the red face" on repeat.

Just got back in from Brixton. Great night.

I'm going to bed.

I'm already having visions of that being both annoyingly busy and annoyingly quiet, and it isn't even a thing 

Anyway,

Rødhåd for me this evening, for some staunch sabbath night techno

Sorry I didn't meet you. Didn't look at my phone at all for the rest of the evening!

Unfortunately didn't really enjoy it that much. Wasn't overly impressed by the venue, sound or the crowd. And to top it off I'm not really a jungle fan... FP and Daphni were good but even they were hampered by my other qualms. We ended up wandering home around half 4...

The rest of my group were all in agreement. Just not what we were expecting.

Anyone who has been to WHP this year, what are they like on this last entry malarkey? I'm off to the bicep one and it seems it might legitimately be a 9pm last entry.... which is utterly ridiculous. I've been to loads but never known it be moved forward to that early. Its usually 10 or half 10 which is fine.

Apparently this saturdays one was 9pm, seems insane when its open till 5am.

I went a few weeks ago, arrived about 15 mins before the half 10 last entry, and the queue was huge. We probably got in there half an hour later, but that was through no fault of our own.

To be honest though, I wouldn't risk it with those bouncers. Because they seem to oversell every night they aren't bothered about stopping anyone they don't like the look of from going in (just look at FB reviews for WHP).

That is a crazy-early last entry though, not very fair on punters who have already paid for tickets. Surely just a way to maximise profits..?

My friends and I went on Friday and felt similar. The crowd were shocking and the queue was like nothing I've ever seen at Brixton Academy. There were so many blokes in vests off their heads (I don't have a problem with that normally) but just chucking their weight around making space where there just wasn't any.
We ended up lurking behind the sound desk to the right as that was the only space where I wasn't ridiculously crushed against anyone else.
Where they obviously wasn't assigned seating/standing, I feel like standing was massively over subscribed & they could have done with reducing number of tickets sold. I suppose you shouldn't really moan when you get tickets for a fiver but I definitely feel there was room for improvement.

Yeah the magic had worn off last time around, wasn't too fussed this time. Sounds dead pants this year though, sorry to hear. Unfortunately, I can imagine exactly what you're all saying

That is disturbingly early and depending on set timings could be really awful. 

I went to the Blueprint Hydra night at the end of August and thought it was bad enough that they put on the biggest names at 5am while selling loads of tickets requiring entry before 1am. They used the excuse that it was to prevent overcrowding, but relying on people leaving early because they were too tired/wrecked in order to have a bit of crowd control seems off to me (they were also selling tickets for post-5am entry though).

Went on Saturday and it definitely felt a lot busier than it did last year and definitely a higher ratio of bellends. :/ 

I thought Daphni's set was great though, but I left around 4ish as DJ Champion and his hype man kind of killed it for me. 

[JC-Mo'Fucka]

i quite liked four tet on the friday. Joy O played to a half full room and I progressively dropped back as the night got busier. Hadn't been before so had expectations of a five pound show with 4 lamps as a light show.

[DaveyGee]

Would just love to see Hernan Cattaneo or Martin Garcia at Glasto. 

I think that would be the perfect vibe, maybe at Arcadia.

What does everyone else think? 1' 13" !!!!

yeah i've noticed that.... i sometimes wonder whether people on the reviews are being totally honest as i have never once had any problem in about 20 visits there but I guess this overselling malarkey is probably only a recent-ish thing.

I guess if the bouncers turn away 5% of punters for being too drunk or off their heads already then thats 5% more then can sell. Its underhand but probably some way legal....

[Memory Man]

its a beast that NYD I will give them that!
