London 19.08.23

i genuinely enjoyed kai's half of the recent mount kimbie record, so i may waltz over for his set.

never got into bonobo sorry. all his stuff sounds like it was made for an apple ad campaign.

i'll check out the rest this weekend. thanks folks!

I'm going, we wanted to do a London trip this year anyway and this seemed like a good thing to anchor that around.

I think there's enough besides Aphex to make it worth it to arrive a few hours before his set at least.
I too like Bonobo for nostalgia reasons, Fever Ray is interesting musically, I've wanted to see Jon Hopkins for a while, I've seen and enjoyed Moderat.
SBTRKT, Actress, Hagop, Kai Campos interest me.

Paid for the fancy ticket cause we felt like splurging on something, I'm not expecting it to be super worth it tho.

Overall same here.

Agree that it's less compelling than 2017, but I look forward to, in addition to Aphex, seeing Hagop, Arca, Fever Ray

Double post: anyone in need of a ticket? I got 2 for sale 

Are any of you flying over from Dublin for Field Day? I'm doing a one nighter for this one, London is like Dublin prices, shkyhigh

Im goin from Shannon on the Firday - cheap flight/hostel

flying over from dublin and aphexin'

Wonder if they'll broadcast like the last time

Coming in from USA, gonna wear a flag as a cape at the show, can't decide which type of patriotic weapon to bring

I will be wearing the aphex tee I've had since 2005 though.

Flying in overnight Friday, probably gonna have to nap before the show. Rather nice it isn't going super-late though.

How we gonna sort the watmm masf meetups? People stilll dicording? Not been on it for years

feckit:  discord hype / meetup / here:

                                    discord.gg/BT8brAdf

No stream?

More than happy meet up and have a few beers with you all 

I will be heading there just to see Aphex but will be arriving a few hours early just to drink beer and various other alcoholic beverages and just chill before the main event. I dunno was thinking of arriving about 6.30pm to 7pm. So definitely no rare merch or records for me. 

Keep me updated on this page what's happening because I don't venture onto discord (what's that?) nor twitter, nor chattm (if that's what its called)

PS

I'm already beginning to buzz with excitement. I have to give great thanks to my good friend Mr Gary Mace who's giving me a lift home (all the way to Burnham, Berkshire) otherwise I doubt this would happen 

Will be kinda cool to meet watmmers as I've never done that before 

where will the after party be? i'm traveling from Berlin so not use to things finishing so early 

It's gonna be awesome, have fun watmm friends

I'll be coming from the US. Had a bit of a panic attack earlier because my outgoing flight got canceled the day before but I was able to get them to book me another flight around the same time.

I'm staying in Shoreditch, any recommendations?

Man, I'm so jealous

Also hyped though, hoping it's streamed or recorded.

Kinda 83% expecting Richard to drop a new album at the venue; Too much PR for just an EP release and his new SoundClown background looks like something off an album cover.

Imminence 

I'll meet you down at the café. White beard, white eyebrows.

Last time at Field Day I wore my avatar on a t-shirt to make it obvious, not sure what I'll wear this year but look out for a tall lanky blonde idiot with a heavy Dutch accent.

What are some underrated places in the Netherlands? I'm going there after London. I've been to Amsterdam and Rotterdam for at least a few days each and Haarlem and Utrecht for a few hours each.

Oh damn, that's an obvious idea I didn't think of.  I didn't bring my avatar shirt even though I have one.  I'll be wearing my Analogical Force tshirt (I think).

I arrived in London today; will work with my UK folks in office rest of week.  Staying in Spitalfields near Shoreditch.  

I roughly plan on doing the whole day at Field Day (VIP tickets wut) since I want to see Hagop and he's on earlylearly.  I'm bringing a close friend from work since I had an extra ticket.  He has a mullet.  But it's like a Polish hipster kind of mullet?

@Joyrex … here’s a marketing opportunity for you:

Sell watmm t-shirts with the…

… logo for cheap and kick up the price a tiny bit for people to pop their avatar image on the back, sort of like watmm sports jerseys.

I got a homemade T in the works with an old school aphexian graphic

Might also wear my homemade sqiuarepusher T for a random change-a-roo
