you can be sure the whole thing turns to shit when the likes of Prodigy and Daft Punk are booked.

Thats not to say i don't like them. They've done great things but belong on mainstream pop festivals these days IMO.

For me it was just as much fun hearing 2 bad mice, benga & skream dropping prodigy tunes. Jilted was played after aphex too. With the prodigy performing it will be nothing but a screaming bassfest ego-parade.




i say get:

autechre
luke vibert
d'arcangelo
plaid
bitstream
dom&roland
richie hawtin
amon tobin

to name a few.

I think more of this type of stuff would gone down well at BLOC, there were a few similar artists at the first two BLOC's but hardly a hint at the one just gone. Maybe a chillout stage/set at the Skyline bit or something? People could walk past and chillout on the sofas if they desired...losing themselves to some awesome melodic electronica/downbeat etc.

Autechre
Mala
Shackleton
Various Production
Aphex Twin LIVE

And definitely agree with what someone said, need some other stuff going on in daytime. Some performances or workshops would be interesting like Red Bull music academy style.
