I’ve compiled a little run-down of some of my highlights of this years Creamfields lineup. First up on the Saturday, Erol Alkan & Boys Noize will be playing the Chibuku stage. They’ve recently collaborated on this track entitled ‘Waves’ that you should get on to if you haven’t yet already because it’s guaranteed that at least one of them will drop it on Saturday.
Erol Alkan & Boys Noize – Waves
Skream & Benga will be testing the bass-bins on the Ape stage on Saturday. Expect innovative dubstep from Benga and all the rage bashy basslines from Skream, a nice combination indeed.

The Annie Mac Presents stage plays host to Fake Blood on the Sunday. Fake Blood is an alias used by London DJ and producer Touché and this is a new remix of Gossip – Love Long Distance from their recent album Music For Men.
Gossip – Love Long Distance (Fake Blood Mix)
Brodinski will be playing the Mixmag Terrace and Yuksek The Annie Mac Presents stage on Sunday. I’ve heard muchos good things about Brodinski but am yet to see him live. They team up on the next track to work over Peaches – Lose You.
Peaches – LoseYou (Brodinski & Yuksek Remix)
Laurent Garnier will be performing his excellent live show on the Chibuku stage on Satuday. He has a full band now playing an eclectic range of music from techno to hip hop to dub. If you haven’t yet heard the album Tales Of A Kleptomaniac, you can do so by clicking here if your on Spotify. If you’re not on Spotify, chances are you’re stupid. To be fair you’re not likely to here this next track in Garnier’s live set but it’s got to be included for old times sake.
Laurent Garnier – Crispy Bacon
If you’ve a hanckering for some batty-shaking boombastic bass soaked badness then mooch over to The Annie Mac Presents stage and catch a bit of Diplo. I’m not gonna pretend Diplo is my favorite DJ/Producer but I like most of his stuff and it’s definately party friendly, which is nice.
Santigold – Im A Lady (Diplo Remix Feat. Amanda Blank)
The lad is getting slated constantly at the moment for the garbage change of direction he’s taken over the last year or so. Particularly his money motivated rhymes over pathetic electro house beats, most notably ‘Bonkers’. Give Dizzee Rascal his due though, for me he has made two of the best UK hip Hop/ Grime albums in Boy In Da Corner and Showtime, he has such a unique flow and style that it’s hard not to like him. Therefore, if/when he drops Fix Up Look Sharp, I’ll be there gratefully dancing my thripnies off. Oh, he’s on the main stage on Sunday by the way.
