mmm indeed

that's pretty poor. there'll always be loads on i guess. does the festival have new owners for this year? was up for sale, wasn't it?

no that was the crazy promo design for last year, its humour lost on everyone. should've asked them why they did that at Banter last year actually now i think of it

What kind od a DJ is Fatboy Slim? Have many people here seen him? What kind of stuff does he play? He mustn't be completely over the top shit if he was booked

i think he could well be worse . Like FBS had his time and place . '98-'99, if you were a student on a J1 trying to get others/anyone into dance music, he was the dude who did it .


and i dont give a shit what anyone says, his BBB mix, and a few of the tracks of the album with 303/santa cruz etc on it, are good, still sound ok in their own way.


but he was also the Big Beat poster boy, and as a genre, it was arguably one of the worst of all time, mostly forgetable shite, the thinking [drinking?] man's hard house . he played EP a few years ago, and it was not good at all . he's well past it now, just a circus clown really. Maybe thats all he ever was. you dont notice these things so much in your yoof...

Was Big Beat even a Genre? I could never really tell to be honest.


He's a big party dj and a bit of fun maybe but technically not great and not doing anything interesting therefore a strange booking for Sonar?


The rest of it looks a bit meh but then the initial releases normally do.

Deadmau5? FBS? really terrible bookings for sonar imo

That makes Bloc's line up look like an underground rave in outer mongholia. some shameful bookings in there.
