Whoās going to see the Shack Man in London tonight then?
Iām not normally one to rant or moan, but that was one of the worst nights Iāve ever been to (Ben UFO, Hunee & Shackleton @ XOYO). Forgive me, but I really need to vent somewhereā¦ To be honest, it all boils down to the fact that Hunee and Shackleton should never have been put on the same lineup. We all know what kind of vibes Shackleton brings to the dance, and youād expect something at least somewhat similar to go alongside him. Iāve seen him a lot of times, playing alongside a wide variety of other artists, but generally people with a more dark vibe, whether thatās dubstep/bass, techno, experimental, etc. But what I didnāt expect was a couple hours of disco related stuff from Hunee and Ben UFO before the Shack Man came on. It really doesnāt lend itself to the kind of vibe you want when you go see Shackleton. And no offence to anyone there, but in general the crowd was just awful. You could tell the vast majority were there for Hunee (which is fine), but again itās not the crowd you would want to be with to zone out to Shackleton with, everyone was very pushy etc. Itās a real shame as Iād expect more considering the night/lineup was curated by Ben UFO himself. Surely he knows what works in a club?! Iāve fully respected him as a DJ since his early days, so itās really disappointing. There are sooo many potential guests he could have got, or routes he could have went down to make this a great night. It would have been a great chance for him to maybe book some of the Hessle guys or Tectonic or whatever. Iām aware he mainly plays in the techno/house sort of field now, and the rest of his bookings generally reflect that. Anyway, apologies for the rant, itās probably the only one youāll ever see from me, but I get very passionate when it comes to Shackleton

Those line ups always look banging but XO is whack regardless of whos playing. They must just throw money at the curators cos no fucking way would these people pick that place to spend a Friday or sat night anyother time.
Quite odd to here it was Shack and Hunnee lol. I thought Hunee would be in his own room all night or something.
See, Iāve been to XOYO three times before, and had an amazing night every time (the infamous Skream 01-05 night was absolutely nuts) . Actually saw Shackleton there along with Peverelist, Kowton and Scuba a couple years ago and it ranks up there as one of the best times Iāve seen him. Always thought the crowds were good there too. I just think that this time it was more of a Hunee crowd than a Shackleton crowd, and it really affected the vibe for me. Just goes to show how important lineup selection is for a night.

i gave my tix away for that xoyo before in this very thread, swear it was you that had them tbf. thought the hunee and shack on same, small lineup (at xoyo) was a poor move from bufo tbh, for someone so switched on usually it did seem a bit odd

Might reach this though just cause I need to see Shackleton. Whatās corsica like?
Itās been a few years since Iāve been but Corsica was one of my favourite clubs, the sound in room 2 was KILLER!
