I can recommend The Egg.  Great electro band.

 

I second this, but will they be playing an ambient set rather than their usual upbeat dancey stuff?

It depends what you're into! Joseph Kamaru, aka KMRU, is the current wunderkind of the ambient drone scene. He creates huge electronic drone soundscapes incorporating lots of field recordings and is, frankly, astonishing. I saw him play live at the Barbican in February having followed his meteoric rise within the genre over the last few years. So, if that might be your bag, I couldn't recommend him more highly.

 

Ana Roxanne is another very interesting artist, who would be exciting to see live. For me, if those artists are after midnight, sadly I can't see myself seeing them, as I'll be elsewhere dancing. But, in the unlikely event that there's nothing happening for me on the dance front, I'd be at those two sets for sure.

Been listening to KMRU on your recommendation, it's a similar vibe to GAS if you don't know them already.

It is, but deeper and harder, I would say. Live, KMRU is really intense, building up to mind-shattering walls of sound, before very gradually breaking the track down again. Amazing.

 

Dissolution Grip would be my recommendation for the record to explore to get a very good feel for what he does live. The live version of the title track is <chef's kiss>.

Thanks, I was listening to the latest record but i'll put that one on.

 

Also just realised that they did the Rapture to Rupt Seefeel mix a few years ago when they released the Seefeel box set.

It was their dancey stuff at the Glade last year.

That would be right up my street to be honest. It sounds like the stage will be more ambient stuff.

I was just thinking that as it's specifically labelled an ambient stage that they might do something different. Saying that though, there usual stuff isn't banging or anything, it's more laid back, so they might just do their usual stuff.

Sam Lee is a really interesting character, not only in music as a Mercury award nominated musician (Bernard Butler of Suede produced his album and is in his band), but also a wilderness survivalist, a curator of old Romany Gypsy and Irish traveller music, conservationist, involved in the RSPB and Extinction Rebellion, also BBC radio, etc…

 

His music is reflective, spiritual and his current album is superb, worth a try to discover someone quite different and distinctive at Glastonbury, and obviously well suited to the Tree Stage. 

 

 

Just listening to his new album. Great stuff! Would certainly be an interesting late night option...

Compared to everything else that's on there he seems a bit out of place. No rules I suppose though.

Sam Lee also did some of the music from one of my favourite films from last year, The Unlikely Pilgrimage of Harold Fry.

I'd almost forgotten about this after all the other posters which followed. Nothing familiar to me on tree stage. Would also be interested in some recommendations 

Maz Cooper is on my no clash no work list for sure. Cliche, but he’s a real musical journey DJ

Yes. I think that's why I'm tempted tbh. Especially if it's on Saturday or Sunday...
