Glastonbury 2007 pt1: the build-up

[Firky]

things that is good to dance to:

Dude, you'd dance to the buzz of the fridge with enough fuel in you.

 

[The_Reverend_M]

Innit I know where I am saturday night!

Hell yeah! I almost came when I saw the line up of adam f, radioactive man, freq nasty, bong ra and andy c ...!

 

[beesonthewhatnow]

nah it's dull. as skim says, more bass!

The trouble I find with a lot of the REALLY bass heavy stuff doing the rounds at the moment (most of the dubstep I've heard for example) is that it sounds utterly shite on anything but the very best speakers/soundsystems. All the bass just gets flappy and loose, swamping everything else thats going on.

 

[tastebud]

okay i'm there rev.

ps. techno is worse than breaks

 

[The_Reverend_M]

ETA: Yeah, the quicker, squelchy stuff, not the slow stuff made for people not on drugs

Yeah Stanton Warriors and the like can get f*cked - it's all about the glitchy/electro-breaks (tipper, si begg etc) or tear out/bassline-breaks (rat records etc)

hmm, dunno, i have fun in my bedroom.

 

[Firky]

I like breaks in moderation, it just needs a bit more bass and scuzz.

And squelch. You have to have squelchy bass. It is what makes people shit. With out squelchy bass people wouldn't be able to poo.

I tell you what does piss me off... going to see Squarepusher and hoping he does some his "HERE IS THE JAZZ MOTHER FUCKERS!!!! GET READY FOR THE DRUM AND BASS" just to find out he's wanking off a bass guitar for an hour through a kaos pad. Tosser.

 

[Skim]

What that tent needs is Si Begg and Milanese

(I could go into a long list of all the other acts that should be there, but trying to restrain myself.)

 

[Firky]

I have f'cked so many pairs of speakers and headphones with bassy stuff.

 

[Crispy]

I want a big purple Juno synth or something to make squelches with

Get yourself a pair of Nexo PS15s, and a Lab Gruppen FP3400 amp, you'll be sorted.

You'll also be £6K poorer, but it'll be worth it

 

[Firky]

SQUELCH + 200BPM + JAPANESE SCHOOL KIDS SINGING ABOUT ROBOTIC GODS = WIN WIN WIN

I asked you how to fix my speakers ages ago and aqua replied "he's a bi fucked at the moment, ask again later"

You did? Errr, yeah

PM me if they are still fucked

 

[Firky]

I have new ones now - far shitter than my old ones but they do the trick.

 

[bluestreak]

well the odd bit is OK but come on - it's just the next stage after big beat - dance music for pissed students and Aussies.

oh god dub, that is so not the case.

 

[bluestreak]

WORD.

 

[onemonkey]

I'm opting for a tent you throw in the air and it springs open in 2 seconds

it's the folding it up again that's tricky....

 

[Skim]

Sod all this po-faced nonsense – Glastonbury needs some ghettotech

 

[The_Reverend_M]

... and some baile-funk

 

[Dubversion]

oh god dub, that is so not the case.

oh god, blue, it is.

 

[Firky]

Oh god, shut the fuck up.

I agree a bit w this and I'm not obsessive about this stuff - but that is why it is going to be great to see them next week

There is – Bonde de Role

But wouldn't Diplo be nice as well...

 

[Pieface]

Diplo would be fab!

 

[William of Walworth]

Meant more in the DJ stylee but I quite like their album

Sure would! He's playing Cargo on Sat 28th July ... tempting ...

 

[Firky]

I have always thought BoC should do an outdoor set as the sun goes down.

Just hope the PA at the appropriate stage is up to the job - specing rigs for festies where you have so many different acts on over a weekend can be a bit of a nightmare, due to massively varying sonic requirements, you can often end up with a middle of the road compromise that suits nobody. As the dance area seems to be spilt a lot more along genre lines this year you may stand a fighting chance of getting something good

 

[William of Walworth]

I don't know anything aboiut the different genres of dance or about which box what stuff fits into ... (well roughly, yeah, and I know there are crioss-sub-genre overlaps etc.).

To me if it's danceable that's

If not, that isn't
