Pack your wellies and sunglasses
Apparently Glastonbury has not sold out this year. Well maybe now it will with the announcement that TI2TB will be playing 4 sets at this years extravaganza. Yeah that's right, pack your wellies and your sunglasses we are going to be part of the daddy of all music festivals.
We will be playing Thursday in the Silent World tent. 2 sets early on Saturday from 11am in the Pussy Parlure. Plus a sunrise set at 5am back in the Silent World. For those that have not been to Glasto before, the Silent World tent is where the crowd wears headphones and listen to whatever we throw at them. Its going to be pretty surreal but perfect to catch all those late night partygoers. You can check the full line-up here. Its will be amazing as we are playing before and after some cool acts such as Coldcut and Yoda.
So after 2 very wet years I know this year's going to be a scorcher. To help the sun gods make up their minds here are some sun drenched songs for your earbuds. One of them taken from the Credit to the Edit compilation mentioned in the last post. Keep checking in for more news and Glasto artist inspired tunes along the way.

10 Years On
I am sitting here in my cabin in the mountains, not quite believing its been 10 years since we hosted our first boat party. There have been many amazing memories along the way and far too many people to thank here. I can't wait to get back to the shores of England and the Thames and have another cracking day out amongst friends.
One of the most exciting things is our guest DJ for the after party, Mr Greg Wilson. Maybe some of you aren't aware of the debt that UK music and club culture owes to him but this man is a legend. He went into retirement for many years and came back earlier this century. The time was right for his comeback as the disco/electro/re-edit scene has gathered pace around the world. He has picked up the re-edit baton again and is releasing some wicked stuff. You can still pick up copies of the Credit to the Edit compilation he compiled for Tirk records on various websites.
For more info check out his electrofunkroots website and also more press about him here. Plus his myspace site which has some tunes to listen to. But for the best idea of what he is about then here's a few links to some of his mixes and a download of a recent re-edit of his. I believe the track was caned at Bestival last year where you might have spotted a few of the Take it 2 the Bridge crew pogoing away. Only 16 days to go, see ya'll back on the Jubilee.
