I'd love to see Kompakt take over the Levels

[The Red Telephone]

Off to an old person’s daytime breaks rave on Saturday at the Steel Yard in London. Anyone been to that venue before? Good/ bad?

Does anyone have any inside knowledge on when the Silver Hayes line up is dropping? They said 'soon', was hoping it would be this week

No inside knowledge but I reckon it'll be after the payment date. Hope I'm wrong though, a nice post-Lent gift would be sweet

I’ve got a feeling they may drop a stage announcement next week to jolt ticket balance payments, and if the SH lineup is as good as last year it may be a good candidate

Barry can’t swim in Rolling Stone magazine. Big feature. 
 

Don’t get me wrong I think he’s good. But is this guy really the future? I can’t really set him apart from loads of other stuff out there. 

I must be an oddity but I listen to him and Fred again and I don’t hear anything new/ that exciting. It just floats over me. I’m 45 though and listened to dance music for 20 years so maybe that’s the issue.

I know they're not putting things out anymore but if we're talking any era - Good Looking Records/Looking Good Records. Anywhere tbh, but Glade Dome would be nice.

Ltj Bukem and Conrad reunited would be epic

Yeah, I think that's very doubtful, sadly. 

Conrad is the MC for people who don't like MCs.

Yes mate. Bukem, Peshay, PFM, Blu Mar Ten. A real shame that GLR disbanded the way it did but what a back catalogue

Do you think the issue might be that there aren't many new live dance acts coming through at the moment? I also like Barry's stuff (and will be seeing him this summer for the first time) but I get the impression the media are just looking for someone to be the 'next big thing/next big Fred again..' and he currently fits the bill.

This is of course nothing new, and has been going on for many years now across lots of genres, but the lack of competition and power of social media has definitely fuelled the rapid rise of these two acts.

Barry Can't Swim is a nice, inoffensive, entry level gateway into electronica. And I mean that respectfully. Like Metallica are for people who want to get into metal. Somewhere to start, but after a while you'll be looking for something a little deeper, harder or esoteric

Blame too, but I think he had a falling out with Bukem and i'm not sure he DJs anymore.

I think most of the stable did! 😂

Zero chance of a Bukem and Conrad reunion. And Conrad offers something different to most DJs much more lyrical.  But most of the time I just want to dj to be shouting bollocks to hype everyone up 

[bennyhana22]

I love how we're all so different. Literally the last thing I want, ever, in a rave is the DJ talking at all! 

Coxy, DJ Rush - play us your banging tunes. But put the mic down and SHUT UP 😂.
