Home Swede Home

So thanks to the Klubb Physique guys for a great weekend in Sweden and a fun gig on Saturday. It’s cool to go to another country to play records, a real buzz. Last year Romania, this year Sweden, as I continue to tour countries that were successful in the 1994 World Cup. If any Bulgarians […]

My My First Night Out Since Moving Here

It’s good living 10 minutes from T Bar. It means that when you go out for a drink with your flatmates, and then decide to stay out beyond pub closing times, you can just say “let’s go to T Bar” and suddenly you’re getting a great fix of house and techno music. In Dublin I’d […]

Klubb Physique/Kalmar Nation, Uppsala, Sweden, Saturday March 29th

So I’ll be playing at this monthly Swedish club, Klubb Physique, on Saturday. I don’t know how many Swedish HIAF readers there are but if you’re in the area come down and say hello. Previous guests at Physique include the likes of Jerome Sydenham, Par Grindvik, and Tomas Andersson, plus Cassy will play there next […]

Black Strop

So it seems Ivan Smagghe cancelled his second scheduled appearance in a row for Mr Jones/Backlash in Dublin last night. I can’t help but feel a bit annoyed by this. I mean, I wasn’t going to go, I’m no longer involved with the night, but it’s just the principle of it.
DJs not bothering to turn […]

Gig

I forgot to mention: if you’re in Dublin come down to the Pod tomorrow night where I’ll be playing with Barry Redsetta at Pogo.

Tripping

So I’ll be away next week, in Bucharest from this Saturday the 10th to Tuesday and then in Berlin (for my first ever trip there) from Thursday the 15th to the following Monday.
I’ll be DJing in Loggia in Bucharest on Saturday at some stage after 9, should be some fun, then checking out Villalobos in […]

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 […]

Po-going

For any of the Irish residents amongst you who aren’t going to the Electric Picnic festival (are there any of you?), I’ll be playing at Pogo in the Pod for four hours this Saturday, which should be fun. I’ve been swimming a lot lately so hopefully the extra endurance will stand to me for this […]

Grand Prins

I went to see Prins Thomas play at Shock (see their blog) in the Pod on Sunday, and I enjoyed it quite a lot. He played a pretty strange mix of stuff but it was really interesting watching a DJ with so little connection to new music and enjoying it! I mean, I do consider […]

Softer, Worse, Slower, Weaker

Daft Punk live, LA 1997. Can’t you just feel the 90s dripping from your screen as you watch this? It just looks so wild and unchained. Someone posted this on a forum this week and one response was simply “acid house!” which pretty much sums it up.

Daft Punk live, Oxegen Festival, Ireland, 2007. Well, it’s […]
