Dubman Havant seen one electronic group yet. It’s all Pop music

I’ve mentioned this a few times - electronic groups big enough for such things don’t really exist right now, aside from maybe Bicep

      Surely chems and underworld can still be wheeled out? Orbital and Leftfield when they aren’t pretending they’ve canned it again.

          I woke up to a barrage of comments like “That McCartney gig is the best I’ve ever seen” etc

          The best they’ve ever seen. I take it that’s the only fucking gig they’ve ever watched. The absolute shite people come out with never ceases to amaze. Oh, and here comes HEY JUDE AGAIN. Lets all hold hands and sway side by side, maybe we can all bring world peace TOGETHER.

          I know I’m being cynical, I accept that but tell me I’m wrong.

            Bicep are not that big enough yet maybe next year perhaps if they release a new record and it blows up and they become more mainstream

                Cankles-McJeggings Surely chems and underworld can still be wheeled out?

                “Wheeled out” is a fitting term for them (given they’re practically in wheelchairs).

                  Dubman Bicep are not that big enough yet maybe next year perhaps if they release a new record and it blows up and they become more mainstream

                  ‘Glue’ has 29mil views on Youtube, which is pretty good going.

                  I doubt they’ll get any bigger than they already are; if they’re not big enough now then they’ll likely never be.

                  Which further underlines the lack of sizeable contemporary electronic groups.

                      Cankles-McJeggings probably a misdemeanor due to scousers thinking its about their favourite pastime.

                      ‘Glue’ and biceps?

                      Probably half those views are Amps.

                        LT42 McCartney was absolute dogshite. Self-indulgent bollocks.

                        Digweed was tremendous - played a lot of shortened versions of tunes - he played Audion - Mouth to Mouth in full and was massively out of place. Finished with a remix of Bizarre Love Triangle - not a dry eye in the house. Couldn’t have been more than 300-400 people at Glade watching him.

                            Dan Apart from Morales, Shep’s probably my all time favourite remixer. Not that it applies here, but he could turn water into wine and did with many an 80’s/early 90’s pop track.

                                alistair He’s up there with Jellybean and Nelle Hooper.

                                  I know dance music isn’t meant to be fun I watched Confidence Man on the iPlayer this morning and thought they were Bonza

                                    Watched a couple of mins of Dave Grohl riffing with McCartney last night. I had to turn over as it was making me wince.
