Has anyone met anyone who’s been to a chroma set and thought it was genuinely brilliant? I know loads that were like “it was alright” 

 

im not convinced the faster tempo they play suits their own tunes and im not convinced they know how to craft a set of other stuff. 
 

As producers I think they are amazing and love live Bicep shows also. 
 

But not convinced with Chroma sets. 
 

Happy to be proved wrong 

 

 

 

Agree It's not a patch on their 'live' show, Glastonbury a few years back is hard to beat. I feel they've also overexposed their chroma show...seems they've played relentlessly which takes the value away from it

Really nice gesture - hope someone was able to use them. Only just seen your post as I'd have taken them but we managed to get some off Ticketswap for a tenner anyway.

Third time at Drumsheds and was another really good day. Got in at 2 and just about managed to get past the over-zealous dog handler (he made a point of bringing it over to me to have a sniff). Was a good, slightly older crowd present and the atmosphere was friendly throughout. Moved around the rooms for the first couple of hours until Braxe and Falcon came on. Had only intended to watch the first half but it was so much fun that we stayed for the whole hour. Forgot my earplugs and found the sound in Y to be bit of an issue at times. We were right at the front and there was an delay during B&F as the sound was ricocheting off the fixtures or something. It got better towards the end but was then quite muddy during Octave One. Might be to do with having live acts and their set ups but did seem quite inconsistent during the day.

Caught the last hour of 2manydjs and Erol Alkan and they were great. No surprise the styles complemented each other perfectly and was a nice touch from Erol to finish with the Soulwax remix of Justice 'Phantom Pt II'. Went into Z a couple of times during the day (was my sons favourite room) but there was a massive queue for Busy P so we went between Modeselektor and a bit of Slam before the Chems. Thought it was a decent set that got better as it went on. Tom seemed to be doing most of the leg work with Ed as the hype man! Agree with the comment about them dropping snippets of their tunes - the drums from 'Star guitar' featured a couple of times but they then played it just before the end.

Found everything easy to navigate and all our travel went smoothly so was a successful day! Read a Mixmag article with one of the Bugged Out founders and he said they're working with Drumsheds on a Spring show. Think they will have to bring in a big live act (Underworld?) as the size of the place means you have to stack the line up to get enough people in. For their brand, the Chems are probably the biggest DJs they could book so that only really leaves live acts to draw a crowd in. This didn't sell out and neither did the first one last year so it's a tough venue to crack.

Both years sold fairly well - i know it was like tenner tickets day of, but it was pretty full.

 

Underworld definitely make sense. Chems live at some point too soon hopefully!

It's so refreshing - Four Tet on Sat was about £20 I think. FloPo was 30. Great value. 

 

@Supernintendo Chalmers Victoria Warehouse deserves all the hate it gets, useless venue imo, but didn't stop me nabbing a ticket. See you there! 

 

Really happy with the FloPo support in MCR

Tell me about it, it's gonna be amazing! I was planning solo and sober... I worry I'm turning one of my friends in particular into a bad parent cos she can't say no to a gig invite but I'm gonna have to send this updated poster to her, she won't want to miss it.

Anyone go to Dom Dolla at Drumsheds on Friday? Bit of a strange one as it was 'sold out' but they ended up only using X and Z rooms?!? Some of the listed DJ's did a b2b, rather than play on their own, and Z room finished at midnight. 

Possibly going to Venue MOT on Friday to see Anz so any advice from those who've been before would be most welcome!

Any joy, ravers?

MOT is class, very small though and gets packed for the big names

 

Set up is a bit weird, there are two separate rooms but you can't usually get into the second one until really late on - don't know if it's technically a separate venue or something

It's a no from me. That's ok though, I've had a great run. I'd already been planning alternatives in advance

It usually runs two separate nights - they often stop checking eventually and you can just switch rooms (usually quite different music though!)

We went a few weeks back to see mates there and didn't get told what genre it was, was listening to banging techno for about an hour and couldn't find them only to find out they were in the other equally as good jungle room!

I've got a ticket as well 🙂

Luckily a friend managed to bag my groups, the new queue system was brutal i must say!!!

The Teletech take over was my favourite thing last year. Hoping for more of the same this year.
