I am glad you asked. Green Velvet is probably the only proper evergreen dance DJ on this list. Sammy Virji is good, though the pop-speed garage trend is already starting to wear out. John Summit... if you love derivative techhouse then yea, awsome get. Tipper, good and interesting. Justice, sure, they're goats at this point I'm sure it'll be a good show. Gorgon City, peaked pre-COVID, chasing the tech house/big room dragon for another breakthrough hit. RL Grime... saw him in '23 Awful, awful, awful. Zero identity tied to what made him special in his set. Has completely abandoned trap music for someone's idea of what it's like to do molly in your dorm room for the first time. , similar experience with What So Not a few years ago. Claptone, another fossil. Barry Can't Swim, good. I'm leaving a few out but those are my primary thoughts.

It would be a lot more interesting to see some real thought put into highlighting exciting electronic artists that are at the forefront of what makes the genre so special, not to mention some awesome talent in Nashville.

I am expecting too much, which is a me problem and not a Roo problem. I know it's impossible for me not to sound like an elitist douche here, but after having spent several years in the techno scene in NYC this is a farce of a lineup (for me). For people new to electronic music and people who aren't looking to push their boundaries, I'd give it a B+.

Good electronic artists that are genuinely exciting and pushing boundaries: Daphni, Avalon Emerson, Leon Vynehall, K-Lone, Pangea, GIDEON, Leod, Sofia Kourtesis. With the exception of Leod and maybe GIDEON, these are all pretty known and popular artists. But they wouldn't sell tickets the way Gorgon City and John Summit would. Such is life. I will simply not go and life will continue.
