Just picked up the beach supplies and heading down a day early to Sete southern France to settle in before the Worldwide Festival begins this Thursday through Sunday 5th of July. Even if i never loved a cozy, fun and sexy boutique Festival beachside and have experienced WF for the past 2 years, I would still no doubt be recommending this gem. The lineup is top, the locations sublime, the girls um yeah you guessed it, the sound systems booming, the organizers ever so gracious and on it ! – all in all glorious and with that state of mind i’ll happily gonna be the roving reporter on and offsite so stay tuned.

With all the artists performing in intimate settings, i’m particularly looking forward to Diplo, Laurent Garnier with his new live band, the mighty Soil & “PIMP” Sessions in the Theater overlooking the ocean, Todd Terje, Theo Parrish, Carl Craig, Mocky live, Dorian Concept, Stereotyp’s Ku-bo project, Gilles with cohort Earl Zinger, Shuya Okino, Sebastien Schuller (heard loads of good things) and many more. Full lineup is on the WF site and the rest you’ll surely hear about over the next week.

For those not able to make it this year, some of the acts will be appearing in London shortly after including Theo Parrish at our good friends Need2Soul’s event July 18th plus you can download a killer set from Theo at Djoon in Paris earlier this year. Our favorite death jazzers Soil & “PIMP” Sessions will be at Koko on July 9 as part of the ongoing WW10 celebration of GP’s Worldwide radio show – so there you have it and now i’m off to the airport …..
