This was one of my favorite sets of the festival.
Charcoal Baby and Champagne Coast blew the roof off the place
Amazing new music out now

The first 1:20 before he starts singing
Nah this probably the sickest thing I've heard from him in a while tho.
Finally getting around to hearing Essex Honey. Really great. Might be my favorite out of the recent few albums.
Cupid Deluxe is still far and away my #1 of his though. Several of his others are too close for me to rank, but it's easy for me to say Cupid Deluxe is my top pick.
In 2013 i thought it was amazing and i have been playing it regularly ever since and against all odds it's somehow gotten better over time. In 2025 i think it's damn near perfect. I cant find a fault in it.
The sequencing on CD is on point and perfectly flows through the albums sonic theme. His other albums have parts where tracks bleed into each other to create big immersive moments, which are lovely. But i will never get tired of the way Cupid Deluxe takes its nu-disco sound and continually expands upon it track-after-track, sprinkling in mixed genres at the perfect times. There isn't a song that even comes close to sounding out of place. It triples down on catchy grooves but pulls back at exactly the right times to let songs breathe, giving the listener something to lose themselves in for a bit in-between the fun.
It's also almost an hour long but legit feels like 20 mins. I've started the album so many times and before i know it, it's looped back to "Chamakay" and I'm like "damn did the whole album really play already?" Then i let it play again
been there
chamakay is such a beautiful opener
New song is beautiful
