A love letter to 10 years of
@fieldmaneuvers
Simply put, every year I leave FM I feel my cup overflowing with positivity. Soppy I know, but it really is amazing. Anyone who speaks to me during festival season has heard me peddle this event to them multiple times, each time more enthusiastic than the last. Because it’s an experience you want to share. A big family feel, that you want to bring your nearest and dearest along to. Because it really is the highlight of my year. And to be able to work artist liaison at my favourite event with some amazing artists was the highlight of this one.
Bumped into and reunited with so many friends, new and old, countless times; be it internet friends, London friends, uni friends, friends of friends, it’s like being at the biggest music family reunion once a year. So many heartwarming and enriching conversations.
Music, lights, curation, the new laika tent. All done so well. Worst rave ever as they say. Shout out to
@ele_beat @fruitmachineengineer @leon_s_c_____ for the last 10, and
@sofa_sofa_uk @goodnessgraciousshuv @hannahbg__ and all the other crew that make it happen each time. Here’s to another decade 👽💖🌚😈🐸💅
Few key memories for me
-
@auratekh takeover in laika was nuts, and
@ryewaxrecords crew
@elementary_watson @tomunlikely and others was the best warm up to it all.
- working with the wonderful
@rachaelshevaunwilliams in the laika tent and chatting the night away after her electro clash meets rave nostalgia set was lavly
- working with
@gregorywawa and seeing one of the most soulful sets of the entire weekend. A real masterclass and a wonderful human being
- Reuiniting with my
@twistedhq family
@alfiedanger and
@__hannahlee - genuinely have so much love for you both, tapss aff!
- seeing
@optimoespacio play the best closing set I’ve seen, with ‘sweet dreams’ by the eurythmics, and the most out of context, yet perfectly placed last tune with ‘the chain’ by fleetwood mac (slide 2).
Spending the weekend expanding and cementing my close familia with
@l_daze_ @nikki_tesla and
@tearebenjamin - thanku for letting me join the trio 💖
Until next year FM x
