Folamour

[4AssedMonkey]

Given those in the know have been raving about the DJ/Dance line up this year I’ve been giving some a spin on Spotify.

Really liking Folamour.  Anyone seen him/them live and would you recommend? Would also appreciate recommendations of who else on the line up is in a similar groove.

No, but thanks, about to give them a listen, back shortly.

100% recommend. Plays a mix of old school and nu-disco. Lots of fun. The Glitterbox takeover will follow a similar pattern, with the odd house classic thrown in for good measure, with big production, flamboyant dancers, etc. Good times. Literally.

If he shows up this year

And clashes with The Churnups.

He'll have double the no-shows this year if so. In fairness, flights were still erratic around Europe last summer.

And he owes me one. I stood through two hours of generic tech house expecting him to show last year.

Caught the end of his set at Printworks last month, and he did Abba's "Gimme Gimme Gimme" and a remix of Stevie Nicks' "edge of seventeen" - cheesy but as you can imagine the crowd (despite pretending to be massive techno/house lovers) LOVED it.

[Joey01]

Also noticed he's also doing a A/V show called "Power to the People" between 3 and 4:30am in Nowhere on the Friday after his set in Levels.

He's done the show before so you can find out more info here but it'll probably be less housey/bouncey I'd imagine and more low key - https://ra.co/events/1443375

They changed it from the original release, might not be that anymore.

As always with djs like this don't just Spotify, watch sets on YouTube if you can. 

This is the one that made him, specifically for the bit 25 mins in.

He is good live, have seen about 3 or 4 times now. Very good sets. If it is the live AV show I'll go if I can, otherwise might be elsewhere.

To paraphrase Mike Tyson….

Everyone’s got a plan until they drop Abba!

Think that's me sold.  That's so far up my street it's parked on my driveway.  The Levels set might be a struggle due to clashes, but the set in Nowhere is on the list definitely.  Will try and hit the Gltterbox takeover too.  Thanks All.

Saw him at love saves the day and was a lot of fun! Then saw him about an hour later going down the helter skelter, looking like he was having the time of his life 😆

[gfa]

Folamour is always good fun - maybe try Barry Can't Swim as well perhaps

[EFC1996]

Folamour is great, was gutted when he couldn’t make it last year. Got off early and then missed an unbelievable set from Michael bibi 

[nikkic]

Our lot are split between seeing Folamour and The Churnups. 

If the latter proves to be Pulp we’ll stay there, if not it’s disco time!

You have just made me notice that I have a Folamour Yung Singh clash: Thanks 😞

That early evening Friday slot is a complete b*stard.  I've potentially 5 things I'd like to see and they're well spread out.  Glasto Fridays always do this to me.

I know exactly what you mean about that Friday afternoon / evening I was going to "solve it" by staying in The Levels almost all day certainly between Jayda G and Camelphat, but then I decided to not see any DJs during the day and save my electronic fix until the night time, now this happens lol

[nikkic]

Thursday and Friday are insane, so much choice.

Power to the People is bouncey AF

[MEGATRONICMEATWAGON]

I'm also wondering how I can see all of Folamour, Barry Can't Swim, Yung Singh, Camelphat, Ewan McVicar, as well as all the other stuff that's clashing with all of them. If anyone's got a far higher ability to plan or has perhaps found how to navigate time, it'd be much appreciated.

This seems to have changed now to just "Folamour", so I am not sure if it will be the AV set after all 🤷‍♂️

Pardon me for being a thicky, but what's the difference between a standard set and an A/V one?

[Alex DeLarge]

This video is pretty much everything I like about Folamour. The song and the video captures nights like this perfectly.

‘Power To The PPL’ will be Folamour’s most daring project yet as he sets out to bring audiences to a new dimension through a fully immersive and interactive audiovisual experience.

This was supposed to be on the Gas Tower last year but he didn't show. Maybe the new stage can't accomodate it?
