The summertime spectacular, situated a stone’s throw away from the beautiful blue waters of the English Channel, annually invites a selection of local food vendors and bars down to the Meadows to provide a wide-variety of food and drink for Electric Bay, and in 2024 we’ll once again be providing a great selection of local menus for fans.

We explore the thoughts of artists and music sharing. In today's digital age, discovering new music has become more accessible than ever due to online platforms like Spotify, SoundCloud, and download services such as Beatport. While traditional methods of exploring music, such as visiting record shops, have diminished in popularity, the process of musical exploration remains significant and enriching, especially when one encounters a standout track. For performing artists, the quest for fresh music is a continuous endeavor, often regarded as equally important as the performance itself. This raises an interesting question: is it appropriate for artists to keep the details of their music sources confidential? This topic invites further discussion from some of the South West DJs and producers on the nature of music discovery in the modern landscape.
