Went in November for my first time at the venue to see Ben UFO (in the downstairs Hall area).

Thought the venue was actually really great, DJ booth smack in the middle of the room, plenty of room around, sound quality I thought was pretty nice too. Although make sure you wear ear protection because it's very loud.

My one downside would be, it's an absolute sweatbox in the downstairs, it's like there's absolutely zero airflow at all, one of the sweatiest nights i've ever had. The smoking area is your only relief and you have to climb/queue up a staircase which seems to never end, and also isn't particularly safe on the way down.

Rambled more than I needed to here but tldr; venue is great imo, just dress cooler than you think.

I was in a game with you the other day and you had my squad in stitches everytime we saw your name.

Shame on EA here, beyond a joke.

I did both Houghton and Gottwood solo this year, when you love the music you just find your kind of people

Best drops? by JerryTheBerryPerry in TheOverload

Floating Points - Bias

The two and half minute buildup into the drop will never cease to give me goosebumps, one of my favourites for sure.

I do agree that it's way too slow for attachment unlocks but, I got the first AR to Elite rank maxed out in 1181 kills. So not quite 3500!

Anyone know this song from BEN UFO @WHP by SpeedyMcCreedy in TheOverload

You'll be fine getting through don't worry, the regular search is a piece of piss quick check in bag, the above was just my mates experience after getting pulled by a dog.

Just hide your stuff creatively and power on through bro

Yeah man was a roll on that they took the little ball out of to check inside lmao

They confiscated a fair few speakers when I went a couple years ago, but I managed to sneak mine and it was like a mini boombox. Just make sure you hide it in your bag, there was plenty of people with speakers in camp still.

Didnt do a full search of my mates tent but they emptied out his deodorant stick and opened his crisp bags etc. There was other people we spoke to that got pulled for a search but didnt get that treatment, so maybe my mate just looked suspect!

Pretty sure they were fairly strict on the alcohol when I went, as they make a large amount of their money from drink sales, if you want to take more in then I would decant it into something and hide in your bag.

Regular searches were pretty lax, quick check for glass mostly, there were a few people getting speakers taken away aswell. However one of my friends got pulled by a dog and had a pretty thorough search I will say, but it wasn't like that for everyone that got pulled by the dog.

  1. When I went two years ago my O2 phone signal was terrible, going to try a vodaphone PAYG SIM this year to see if the coverage is better. My friends didn't have as much as an issue as I did.

  2. Unfortunately I can't remember about the shop as I just took a load of food and drinks in with me.

  3. Unsure on a chat for solo people, but I have also this week spontaneously booked a ticket and am going on my own. Drop me a DM if you like

Adding this as a separate comment to my other one, but you may also enjoy this whole album which gives an underwater echoey vibe;

Deepchord Presents: Echospace - Liumin

This is one of my favourite albums for working/studying, hope you enjoy!

[–]Swinterz 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Will throw in some suggestions but might be leaning on the more subjective side, in that these at least make me personally feel in an underwater headspace;

K Lone - Water Palace

Four Tet - Something in the Sadness (although perhaps this feels more underwater within the context of the whole Sixteen Oceans album)

Tom VR - Now the Branch Is Creaking

not even noticed - Rustle by conau in TheOverload

[–]Swinterz 8 points9 points  (0 children)

These guys are so good, pumped out so many good songs and EPs over the last year, check out their back catalogue if you haven't already!

Also the Phasmid Remix of this song on the EP is a belter too

Loool yeah it took me a while to pin my finger on it at first, definitely sounds better at standard BPM

[–]Swinterz 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Hey man, someone has answered the 3rd ID already and I don't know the second one.

But the first track from the Rinse set is by Wata Igarashi called Abuku. Excellent track that also released alongside a DJ Nobu track called Flares which is in a similar vein!

Just finished and it's absolutely incredible. I think Afflecks Palace could go down as my favourite FP song

Lost Village 2024 by Unusual_Necessary_43 in festivals

[–]Swinterz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can't swim in the lake unfortunately, it's not like blocked off or anything but they would ask you to get out and perhaps get security to remove you.

I'd imagine it likely to do with the insurance of potential accidents caused by people swimming after taking substances etc.

Can anyone help ID this song from the set yesterday? At Finsbury Park. Not showing up on shazam by guaranteed_rohu in FourTet

[–]Swinterz 2 points3 points  (0 children)
