Mix: Dimensions / w Lerosa & Kenny

Quare Groove – Volume 1

As I was reading through the liner notes for the wonderfully titled Quare Groove – A Collection of Irish Groove, Punk Funk and Electro, released last week on All City Records I was reminded of the hours and hours I spent going through the Irishrock.org website over the years.

Mix: One Night In Chicarlow

It’s been a sporadic year on the mix front. Sporadic = this is only the second one I’ve recorded. Its a b2b mix recorded back in August in the Tr One studio for former ISM guest mixer Jamie Thomson’s radio show, Saturday Manatee. It contains the efforts of myself and Eddie from Tr One and…

…now where’s your bite?

Any of us paying attention to dance music media outlets in recent weeks will have most likely spotted at least one interview or promotional piece with regards to Mark Hawkins’ –  aka Marquis Hawkes –  new album, Social Housing. Hawkins has gotten into a spot of bother in recent years over his new moniker and…

Guest Mix: Dan Orchard (Delete)

Our latest guest mix comes from Bournemouth, England via Moscow, Russia – which reads better than “Berlin based” any day of the week. Dan Orchard, resident at Bournemouth’s Delete party is a name possibly many aren’t familiar with – though he has popped up at festivals such as Free Rotation –  but that should most…

Sherkin Jerkin’

For those of you not too bothered about seeing Tiga for a 4th time in 12 months, or slightly perturbed by how last years Electric Picnic’s headliners were copy and pasted on to this years Forbidden Friut line up and / or generally can’t tell the difference between most festivals on the calendar any more, this June…
