I remember Rob Hood banging it out to less than 50 people last year, great stuff. aye, ’tis sad, they provided a great service to Dublin :(

I must get down one more time before if finally closes. I was never a full on regular but every time I went my faith in the scene was rejuvenated. The way they gave other Irish folks a chance to play was well sound. Seeing Educution trying out his new stuff live was one high point for me. Another was checking out Landstrumm for the first time. It was the kind of club that it didn’t matter if the DJs played old or new stuff and the crowd definitely appreciated their classics. It was cool to see the next generation coming in to check it out too. On a selfish note; where can I aspire to play now that EC is going? :( This is sad news indeed.

We only played EC our first time a couple of weeks ago and it was one of the best vibes we've witnessed in a club in years. A small, dark, underground club full of real people with a very real love for music. I will never forget playing UR's Transition and having this girl stand in front of the booth and recite every single word before completely freaking out to a jerry the cat joint. That's what djing/clubbing is all about, the very essence of why we love doin what we do and EC was a place that regularly allowed that to happen... A true shame, nuff respect to Giles and Simon Damn that’s bad news. We only played EC our first time a couple of weeks ago and it was one of the best vibes we’ve witnessed in a club in years.
