Public works SF july 17

First time hearing and is so good so far What are you fav tracks?

Interested to know what people's first record purchase was, see how tastes develop and if you still like the record today.

For me, it was Leon vynehalls Brother/sister split on Aus, bought when I was around 16 and I still love both sides to this day. At the time I was buying a lot of Joy orb stuff, like his collabs with Boddika and some early Tessela bits, circa 2015

Hope it's ok to post this here! Running an event at Avalon Café this Friday evening, got the big man Conrad Pack coming to play some noisy, moody analogue techno, as well as Fig coming down from Manchester - her sets are incredible!

Def some overloady tracks to be enjoyed in here so come down if you're in the city. Tix on door / ra (https://ra.co/events/2475153)

Hello Overloaders. I'm guessing - hoping - that a fair few of you are fans of the wonderful Matmos. Anyway, I interviewed them recently for Line Noise, the written article is out today and I hoped you might enjoy it.

From the intro: "Every time a new Matmos album is released, I think what unbelievable fun it must be to actually be in Matmos.

Consider it: the loving couple of M. C. (Martin) Schmidt and Drew Daniel have explored concepts in electronic music from making an album out of washing machine sounds to composing song with distinct metallic clangs, including cemetery gates and aluminium cans. (This was their most recent record: 2025’s Metallic Life Review.)

Every album is different; every album is brilliant and every album pushes the envelope in its own particular way. Music is literally all around for Matmos and the possibilities are endless. But they are never po-faced or overtly chin-stroking, conscious of how fantastically ridiculous it is to make an album with their Whirlpool Ultimate Care II and then have to lug the self same machine around Europe on tour."

The interview includes  Björk, fire, the Pavarotti of plastic pillboxes, Hit Em, gay energy and disgruntled Italian audiences.

I've marked some of the acts I'd like to see, red being can't miss, green being interested. I'm wondering if I'm sleeping on any acts this year. Thank you. 🙏

EDIT: Thank you all for the suggestions. Unfortunately the "At Dawn" slots in the morning are only for weekend ticket holders, so no Surgeon, Holden etc :(

A very very enjoyable listen.

Hey gang - have been searching for this Italo track for over a decade now … any leads?

I’ve been trying to find multiple ID’s to this mix from Swami Sound for Stone Island back in December, but using Shazam has been damn near useless and there’s no tracklist I can find. Any help?

Any other CD collectors of '90s techno/ambient/idm here? Show me yours. I'm always open for trade if you were to have duplicates.

Attended for the first time this year, still formulating my full thoughts on the festival! Would love to hear what anyone else thought.

The river side setting is incredible, blown away by the sound quality throughout the festival (especially in the forest stage for Kia b2b konduku), and we’d heard there was an inside bit but when it opened on Thursday night we were so surprised by the scale, we were just expecting three dingy rooms. Hangar was one of the best setups for techno I’ve seen at a festival.

Was disappointed by the crowd - far more English than we expected and also very very yappy. Saw they put up signs by Friday afternoon asking people to respect the dancefloor but don’t think this had an impact. Best set of the weekend was probably xiaolin at the garden stage on wed night, whilst the majority of English blokes were off watching the football.

Does anyone also know if the mudd show run all the programming for the garden stage? There were some names on there that we thought should have been on a larger stage, it felt quite engineered to maximise the online content opportunities but in real life was just overcrowded half the time whilst the beach stage next door was virtually empty.

Also curious about the change in crowd on fri night, walked into casino and realised aside from our group we couldn’t see a single woman, and didn’t recognise anyone from the festival daytime at all. There were also crazy queues for each stage that we hadn’t seen the night before. Does anyone know if they sell day tickets to locals and if so what the change in capacity is?

Cool track from her latest EP, nice one to check out if you enjoyed the Beatrice M. stuff this year

Hi, my Gf and I are unable to attend this weekend and are looking to give our tix for free to anyone who is interested! Feel free to reach out via dm.

My girlfriend and I are traveling to London first week of August (4-10). First time, so looking for suggestions.

We'll be staying in Shoreditch and would love any suggestions for: record stores, hi-fi cafes, or vinyl listening bars. We're visiting a few different neighborhoods to do a lot of the touristy stuff, so anywhere around the city or a tube ride away.

~~

We're going to Four Tet @ Finsbury, and Overmono @ Old Naval College, and planning on going to Fabric and The Cause, but also open to other suggestions other club or things to do late night too

Want to sell as a can’t go anymore so shout me/ drop me a message, easy to transfer as can change name on ticket and send over

Chemical brothers’ track from 1995 sounds like a track Blawan would produce today.
