The bass thump rumbles far beyond Rankin's Wood, reverberating outwards in an impressive blast radius. Light surges out in flares and pulses. Inside the tent, it's heaving, the crowd stomping through endlessly rising oscillations and deeply unlikely musical pairings. Rhythm is a Dancer? Well, if you say so, Le Galaxie.

To those more accustomed to the Dublin combo's live set, a cowbell-heavy conspiracy of sheeny synth and electronic dance music, this DJ appointment reflects something more selfless, a combination of good taste and fond anticipation. Le Galaxie are not out to dominate the night but to initiate it; to get it underway. They giddily erase the guitars from Beastie Boys' Sabotage and lay down a sky-ripping synth instead. They match the reliable party kindling of Kolsch's Der Alte with a live rendition of N-Trance's Set You Free (try it at home!) and then they urgently instruct us to see Chic: "You have three minutes."

Great set, and an even better set-up.

In three words: Get it started.
