When We Return

I’ll be posting again regularly as of next Monday.
I’m really glad I took a break and I can’t wait to get going again. In the meantime I’ve got a stopgap job which I can tolerate, in the beautiful world of retail once more!
Anyway, the first post back will be a guest podcast with whichever one […]

Shitport (at least for a few hours)

So it seems Beatport have made a monumental fuckup of their transition to passwords that must be 8 characters in length. After logging in today only to be refused entry to my own account and told my password had been reset, I then was sent an email which I was told contained a link to […]

Mike Banks in the Wire

Read it here. Really interesting stuff. It’s sort of odd that I had never seen what he looked like until that half picture. It’s a really worthwhile interview though, even if you’ve never heard an Underground Resistance record I highly recommend it. Galaxy 2 Galaxy play Rí-Rá in Dublin this weekend as part of […]

Changes

I’m trying to change things a bit, so that the blog is better when I return and so that I feel a bit refreshed about doing it. Some stuff I’ve been considering:
1. Guest mixes: This is someting I’ve wanted to do for a while, get somebody not so well known but interesting (eg the same […]

Closed indefinitely

Let’s see how this goes. Could be a few days, could be a few weeks, probably nothing permanent, podcast should hopefully continue.

Weekend of the Night

So as I mentioned here this week’s show may not be uploaded as quickly as usual since it’s currently on the studio’s computer rather than on my (now broken) Archos media player (400 euro for 9 months of operation, ugh!)
In the meantime it’d be interesting to know what the Dubliners amongst you are doing this […]

Sliwinski sounds like Lewinski (failed to think of a pun)

So I’m really enjoying Ralph Sliwinski’s new 12 on Hartchef Discos. It’s an EP called “Magazahn” and it’s the sort of minimal stuff I quite like lately, with nice bass and a slightly housier feel to things but still some of the trademark sounds of minimal house over the last few years. I particularly like […]

What People Play Roundup 3

So there’s another one of these WhatPeoplePlay roundups I’m writing up at their site as of today, complete with slightly amusing descriptions of me! (This “Irish mod” thing may stick, but I hate mod music, for the record!) Anyway I’m just linking to this since someone Myspaced me and asked me where to find these […]

My favourite techno youtube

So many videos of clubs don’t really capture atmosphere, just music, or the volume of people there, or other factors isolated from the whole equation. This video really does look and sound great though, especially with good speakers to do it justice. I’m no Richie Hawtin obsessive but the music really hits the crowd like […]
