Glastonbury 2017: The Orb self-confirm

With next year’s 30th anniversary fast-approaching, British electronic duo The Orb have become the latest act to self-confirm their appearance at 2017’s Glastonbury Festival.

Speaking to Irish News last week, founding member Alex Paterson revealed the duo’s plans for the year, including a trip to Worthy Farm. “We’ve got some more European gigs in March and then we’re doing [Chill Out World] in its entirety at the Royal Albert Hall in London” he said, adding “After that I think we’ll be dropping the whole of Ultraworld once we do this special thing on the Thursday night at Glastonbury.”

Further info from eFestivals also transpires the duo will be bringing their set to Glastonbury’s ‘The Glade’, but this remains unconfirmed.

More as we hear it; in the meantime, grab a listen to one of their biggest hits, Toxygen, below:

Listen: Drake previews new Giggs collaboration

0

Drake kicked off the European leg of his Boy Meets World tour in Amsterdam last night, previewing a brand new collaboration with Giggs ahead of the release of his new More Life playlist (rumoured to land next month).

Though untitled, we wouldn’t be surprised if Giggs made an impromptu appearance onstage when Drizzy finally takes the shows to London (which starts tomorrow, with a further seven nights at London’s O2 Arena over the course of February).

Catch it below; tickets for Drake’s tour are also now onsale direct from Ticketmaster – hit the link below for more info:

Glastonbury 2017: Wiley teases his return to Worthy Farm?

It looks like Wiley may have finally forgiven the weather gods, after dropping hints he’ll be returning to Worthy Farm for Glastonbury 2017.

Update 9th March: Wiley has now fully confirmed his appearance:

Original story continues:

For those not familiar with the story, Wiley went on a Twitter tirade against Glastonbury back in 2013, having already arrived on location to perform on second day though cancelling his appearance after his frustration at the rain.

However, a lot can happen in four years. A couple of weeks back, Wiley released some of his best work yet with his new Godfather LP (check it out here), off the back of which has led him to being added to several summer festival line-ups, including Leeds & Reading and Wild Life.

Now, whilst we’d never have expected him to return to Glasto, last night, the Bow MC shared ‘that’ infamous Radiohead picture on his Instagram, alongside tweeting “Can’t wait for @GlastoFest its gonna be sick”. So basically confirming that, come rain nor shine, he’ll be there (we’ll put our money on either Silver Hayes or West Holts).

Glastonbury 2017 runs from 21-26th June with the full line-up yet to be released.

Listen: Frances – ‘No Matter’

Ahead of the March release of her anticipated debut album Things I’ve Never Said, Frances has revealed the Mojam-produced No Matter, a track which hears the artist describe her time adjusting to life following her move to London.

Grab a listen below:

Listen: Elderbrook – ‘First Time’

Elderbrook may have made his mark by delivering the more subdued side of dub-electronica, however today he kicks off 2017 by speeding up the tempo slightly with the gorgeous First Time.

Released ahead of his headline show at XOYO in March, First Time drops at a time where even futuretronica is starting to sound ‘samey’, injecting a new lease of life into the field, and once again reminding us why the genre got us all excited in the first place.

Grab a listen in full below; you can also grab tickets for the XOYO set via the link underneath too. Oh, and watch out for MANT’s particularly tasty remix of First Time too, coming VERY soon.

Listen: Bakermat – ‘Baby’

Bakermat has always seemed to nail a sample, even when you think it could never work. Bursting to promenance back in 2014 with Teach Me (which cut large elements of Shirley Caesar’s 1972 cut ‘Teach Me Master’), today the Dutch DJ/producer has dropped another gem, sampling Thelma Houston / The Communards’ hit ‘Don’t Leave Me This Way’ on his new single Baby.

This is superb! Grab a listen below – definitely one for the playlists!
