hugopal Was thinking more Katy Perry, Miley Cyrus, Billie Eilish etc they’ve had on recently.
Pilton...I mean Glasto' Festival
The age range at Glastonbury is 6 months to 90 years old.
And for once I’m being serious.
Digweed shared a bit of his set on his Instagram, he seemed well happy with it. Hopefully he airs it on a future Transitions.
Played Audion - mouth to mouth
Just needed to crank it up!
Heno Apparently he had the sound police all over him - The Glade was heavily targeted - it was annoying as there were stupidly loud sound systems really near bye and all over the site. I think he did the right thing with Mouth to Mouth though in context of the rest of his set - it was better by the speakers.
Heno was it the Carl Craig remix?
Couldn’t believe he played Mouth to Mouth, I’ve always loved it, didn’t think it was Digweed’s bag of chips I must say.

Mouth to Mouth is an absolute monster for a festival. Anything else….not so much.
15 years old, too. Like Twilo-era Diggers playing something from the early/mid ’80’s. Fuck that timeline.
Along_the_Wire in 19 the glade in the forest was absolutely perfect sound wise, we had been in the temple then got to digweed for the last hour and we’re right in front of the sound desk, met some great people and had good craic during the set, last track was really familiar
Was the original mix of mouth to mouth
I thought it was a little out of place the last track.
The set overall was absolutely brilliant though, one of the best I’ve heard him play, so much fun.

I like that. Seems like a good tune to close the night out given the Chems couldn’t play. And I wish Diggers would play more fun tracks rather than playing Bedrock releases over and over again. He’s still a top drawer DJ when he wants to be.
Random question. Is camping the only option at Glasto? Just curious.
Oh god no, a friend organises luxury accommodation for the likes of Bradley Cooper and Sienna Miller.
£20k+ mind.
jonattonyeah I like that. Seems like a good tune to close the night out given the Chems couldn’t play. And I wish Diggers would play more fun tracks rather than playing Bedrock releases over and over again.
This is valid tbf!
Burning Man is no joke. It’s A LOT of work. The drive back is long, hard, and awful. Have a good friend who’s been going for ages. He builds installations and (mostly these days) bars. He’s very creative. Finds famous bars/clubs in the US and beyond and recreates mini versions of them. For his work he gets like 20 free tickets to give out. ANYWAY, yeah it’s no joke. I wouldn’t go again but I’m happy I went once. There’s nothing like it. Might not be as hedonistic as in yesteryears given Instagram and tech bros flying in on helicopters and Paul Oakenfold and all that. But it’s an experience.
Fun fact, the STD rates in Nevada spike 400%+ that month (the CDC reports on likely location of infection as well as location of testing). Black Rock City is, afterall, the third largest city in Nevada when it’s going.

That makes sense. I figured there was something figured out given Somerset isn’t Vegas when it comes to hotels. We were lucky the times we went to Coachella. A friend’s dad had a vaca home in Palm Springs. One of those Mediterranean Revival, single story homes from the ’60’s with a pool and AC, etc. Good times. But people do camp. Seems insane given the heat; you’re in the fucking desert. Likely far worse than the Glasto mud/rain.
Camped (oo’er missus) at Glastonbury in 2007 where it had the most recorded rain on record.
Wasn’t what I call winning I can’t lie -
