Glastonbury ’15: our day-by-day review

The Gaslamp Killer made his Glastonbury debut on the West Holts stage, which overlooks a lush expanse of green grass decorated with tall flags that flutter in the wind.

The performance was also one of the first times his new live show has been played out in the UK and he appeared, an electric shock frizz of hair and suitably trippy outfit, alongside The Heliocentrics.

Gaslamp strode the stage, playing beats and off the cuff scratch routines off a laptop and 1210s as well as hyping the crowd and the band, summoning groove-laden psychedelia that invoked the spirit of Brian Auger.

A primordial kind of funk, it seemed fitting that the set took place amid a torrent of rain.

Genosys...

Possibly the very coolest dance music-related thing at Glastonbury, the outdoor stage is situated in an area that also houses the NYC Downlow and other on-point rave haunt Block 9. DJs play in a wooden shack-like booth tucked beneath a towering dystopian building. It's anti Balearic, a hunk of rave that's mutated in the corner of a wooded area.

In the middle of the night we're treated to Phuture tearing out their OG acid, which builds pressure with pummelling, dubby kick drums and supplies release in the form of short spurts of raging squiggles.

Later, rolling house maestro Brawther is on duty for the sunrise set and he bounces between percussive cuts and bass-heavy breakbeats that are perfect for the dawn.

Amazing music on one of the most impressive stages at Glastonbury. When you rave here, you know you've truly arrived on Worthy Farm.
