Skoo Posted June 1, 2016 Report Share Posted June 1, 2016 (edited) Electronica experts, please can I pick your brains? I'm fairly new to the dance music scene, and I'm not very good at knowing the names of DJs. Can anyone recommend any of the daytime acts, who are likely be playing some more progressive type house and/or techno? I just love bopping in the sunshine (which we're guaranteed to have) but clueless about which of the acts are going to be playing the kind of stuff I like. Obviously I will spend the next few weeks researching, but if anyone springs to mind, please let me know!

Hopefully will catch Ben UFO in the temple the next night and swerves the pre 3am naughty corner horror. Only fly in the ointment could be the queues for Downlow. How popular do you think The Black Madonna is with general populous? Find her a hard one to gauge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh Sunday night in The Temple is the one for me, il be dashing my way there after LCD and getting a spot and not leaving until it shuts I think she'll be popular, but she's playing at the same time as Richy Ahmed and Jamie Jones in LBHQ and Ronson/Parker on Hell Stage, which should take some of the crowd away, I don't anticipate missing it due to queuing anyway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really love Daniel Avery and wish he was doing a daytime set, although will definitely go watch him at Arcadia. I wonder how difficult it will be to get a good spot for him on the Friday, what do you guys reckon? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Il be making my way there after foals, he should be playing as night descends into darkness, it's got potential to be fucking marvellous I don't think it'll be rammed, he is at the same time as the headliners are starting after all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Has some good acts, especially Maribou State B2B Pedestrian Somehow missed seeing this before- was potentially going to miss Maribou State for Beck on Sunday but b2b Pedestrian on Thurs is even better!

You should check out the Bicep one on Friday. Maybe also Disciples, 18.30 Saturday on Sonic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just be in the general vicinity for quick entry to Midland b2b Palms Trax. Though no idea what I'll do about the loo situation for all those hours in the Temple. Might have to fashion some sort of nappy. (Only joking) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

willsnewman Posted June 2, 2016 Report Share Posted June 2, 2016 Anyone have any recommendations of anything in the Brainfeeder/LA kind of sound, a la FlyLo/Thundercat/Nosaj Thing/ Shlohmo/Teebs/TGLK etc? Apart from the obvious Kamasi link. not sure if there is anything like it there this year... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FloorFiller Posted June 2, 2016 Report Share Posted June 2, 2016 but seriously, it won't be a problem for me but may be for my friends who don't go quite as hard for me - what the fuck do people do about the toilet situation in the Temple? as obviously leaving and then attempting to get back in could be an hour long affair Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoBallGames Posted June 2, 2016 Report Share Posted June 2, 2016 Sub Focus question... I have enjoyed a lot of his music then I went to watch a lot of his sets on Youtube. Does he always have that MC bouncing on the stage constantly asking people to yell? Is that MC part of Sub Focus? That MC was not my favorite and he was at like multiple sets I watched.

Il be there with bells on On another note, now we have the full line up, who fancies organising this efestivals Electronica/Dance troop meet up then? There's a fair few attractive propositions we should be able to put some names to faces with you good people in here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FloorFiller Posted June 2, 2016 Report Share Posted June 2, 2016 if things go according to plan so far it looks like it could be Maceo Plex/Mano Le Tough in the Beat Hotel on the Friday (or possibly Four Tet in Wow), bit of Floating Points/Four Tet/Ben UFO in the Stonebridge and Black Madonna in NYC Downlow on Saturday and Midland B2B Palms Trax/Ben UFO B2B Job Jobse in the Temple on the Sunday. anybody got any suggestions for other stuff i could try and check out or alternatives? (not that i'd have the time, mind...). determined to do this late night stuff properly this year after half arsing it every other year i've been Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zeppelin Posted June 2, 2016 Report Share Posted June 2, 2016 Right, I've never been into the Temple. Always wanted to but there's always been a massive queue, and it's easy to get to Hell. Couple of things - is it worth it? Does the queue take as long as it looks? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
