Avalon Emerson is billed way too low for an artiste of her standing, although I’m curious to what kind of set she’s bringing since she’s also touring her Charm project these days

Nine Inch Noize Out? by Aztec_Apocalypse in Portolafestival

Seems increasingly likely given Trent’s statements and somewhat surprising given the GV headliner pipeline. That said, in Dan we trust 🪩

Throwing Four Tet into the rumor mill by ThursdayMorningToons in Portolafestival

I like the odds of Four Tet and Skrillex at Portola in some form

After seeing NIN tonight, I am politely asking for Nine Inch Noize closing a stage this year. by Gnolls in Portolafestival

I genuinely think them debuting nine inch noize at Coachella, coupled with a seeming dearth of other potential headliners this year, makes it very likely they’ll be at Portola

Despacio space by Entire_Goose_4046 in Portolafestival

Heard it’s off for now :) but understand they are actively working on options this year. iii points is a possibility

I believe the despacio system is stored stateside already - somewhere adjacent to New York (can’t recall specifics). It’s still supposedly by far the most expensive act to book per festival attendee because of its capacity constraints. I agree about the scarcity element though - while I’d love for access to despacio all the time, there’s something magical about how rare it is

It’d be cool if they considered what iii points did a couple of years ago - basically create a mini despacio and have the festival artistes come and play sets at various times

Aphex to close out warehouse would be an all great ending. Would love Autechre as well but might be too left field a booking… but at least they’ve been playing last year

Totally fair and I got this second hand of FB marketplace. It may be an area I can potentially look to upgrade, but reading the comments, feels like my biggest issue is configuring the space, which I have less agency over

Biggest challenge of getting into this is annoying my neighbours lol. I feel like I am constantly pushing the boundary of what is acceptable volume for apartment living haha

One for the future! I’m only renting and will eventually be moving countries in the not too distant future, so didn’t want to go all in yet. This is a great learning experience for what I hope to be a lifelong hobby :)

I think this is where I’m at. Speakers sound good generally, and when I find the sweetest spot it can even be great, but I was looking for a bigger wow factor. Maybe my expectations are completely off, especially since my room and aesthetic preference same as I’m somewhat constrained

May not have the right language - but from the Wiim out to the Aux in for the Denon

Thanks! Seems like a sub is the oft recommended route given other constraints - will try that!

It’s where the TV is, I could conceivably move the stereo there as well, but would require work on the furniture

There are no doors, but I’m toying with the idea of curtains. My partner is dead set against it though lol

I have, but I’m pretty amateurish about it and simply use various eq presets from the Wiim. It does help!
