Re: (313) complaining about the fuse-in line-up

[Michael . Elliot-Knight]

yep - totally agree

the line-up as it stands right now is pretty thin - sure there's a few drum
& bass artists but how about some funk, soul, jazz, spoken word,
ELECTROFUNK, experimental noise, etc.

what we have is:
Kompakt minimal
Kompakt downtempo
Kompakt ambient

and some artists that tour so often in the US you could set your clocks to
their performance dates

I think, really, truly, so far - with what has been announced - they have
gone half assed in either direction
If they want to make the money - go for it - book Mylo, Moby, and MIA or
Lady Sovereign.  Seriously, make it a proper Pop fest like Coachella.
Or, try to live up to the previous festivals' examples and get some high
tech soul of all kinds.

Paxahau is throwing a bigger Paxahau party - that's all it appears to be at
this point.

if they were the only thing booked, yeah id complain!

ive seen great sets over the years in genres such as hiphop, jazz,
soul, reggae, electro, downtempo, etc. i am most passionate about the
kind of stuff those guys in particular make and play, but i listen to
all music. i want that diversity! i want to see dabrye playing before
far freddy's drop playing before the detroit experiment playing before
legowelt playing before theo. thats most along my idea of what the
festival was and should continue to be!
