Time to change things up for the next Apartment release. After 2 house 12″‘s it’s the turn of Irish/Italian, em, house producer Lerosa to deliver the goods, this time on an electro tip. Bar the tape release on Further and his first 12″ on D1 many years ago, not much of Lerosa’s electro has seen…

Pauly Martin aka Platinum Ray delivers his 2nd mix for us and it’s definitely one of my favourite mixes we’ve received in a while. Even in his home town of Dublin Pauly is somewhat under-rated and really deserves more kudos for his deejaying. The tracklisting on this one speaks for itself, get stuck in… PSTN…

This weekend sees the rest of the world pretend to be Irish while we just act the same as we do every other weekend with the added bonus of having the Monday off. That means, of course, that it’s St Patrick’s Day, which falls on the Saturday. It usually means it’s a fairly hectic weekend…

Back on the interwebs airwaves with Simon Conway today from 4-6pm GMT Tune in here

The Housefactors – Play it Loud  It’s re-issue time again, but as with Larry Heard’s own Alleviated imprint this time the source is direct with Black Market taking it upon themselves to re-release Heard’s The Housefactors 12 inch, that which they first put out 23-odd years ago. The lead off cut is Play It Loud,…

Timeline – Greystone Ballroom / Mark Flash – King of Light While one can’t say that they ever really went away, there is a sense in certain quarters (those that sat up and took notice) that these latest 12″‘s have been somewhat of  a return for the aging kingpins of Detroit techno.  This is the…

This Saturday (18th) we’ll be hosting out first label party in the basement of Twisted Pepper here in Dublin. It’s gonna work as a lil launch party for Tr One’s Drum Dance, who’ll be djing on the night; their first club gig of the year. Also, we’ve got Lerosa playing live, who’s gonna be doing…

We generally tend to busy ourselves with music that appears on vinyl but that doesn’t make us totally averse to downloading music, if only when it’s given away for free by the artist who made it. I came across this cracking little release today made by John Lillis, aka mynameisJOhn, a Limerick, Ireland based dj…

Came across this hour long documentary on all things ghetto house last night. Cheers to Simon Conway for the heads up on it. It’s been going from private to public on vimeo over the last couple of days so apologies if it’s disappeared again when you’ve hit the link… From Jack to Juke: 25 Years…

Considering January is seen as a quiet month for music I’ve still managed to pick up a nice bit of wax over the last few weeks. Some are fresh on the racks, some are yet to hit ’em and there’s one or two things from last year I’m just catching up on properly, so gonna…

Sunday Times! is an amazing lil party that takes place up the hill on Barrack St in Cork City, here in Ireland. It’s a unique  party where the Djs get to do their thing  from  early in the evening while sat upon a wee bar stool, chopping and changing their musical selections at will, gently…

Just a quick post to point you in the way of a small interview myself and Dean Feeney from Tr One did with Irish website Thumped.com. The usual topics for us luddites; vinyl n’ hardware plus how we feel about the Irish electronic music scene…. Read it here The Drum Dance 12″ has now hit…

Just a quick heads up to say that Drum Dance is hitting stores over the next couple of weeks.  Juno, rubadub, decks.de amongst others are selling it already in Europe while Rush Hour and Clone amongst others are taking orders now.  Crosstalk International are distributing it on the other side of the Atlantic, so hopefully…

Can’t really think of a better way to start the new year with the announcement that the 2nd 12″ on Apartment will be dropping at the end of the month. Regular readers should be familiar with Tr One at this stage, who’ve contributed a bunch of guest mixes for us in the past as well…

As with the last couple of years, my end of year post isn’t gonna go down the big lists route, just gonna dip in and out of my year in music. You will see some similarities between myself and Tom’s selections, hardly surprising really. There’s no doubt a few things on his that I haven’t…

Guest mix time here again, and this time we got a repeat offender; Dublin degenerate, Shane O Meara. Known for his insatiable love of Liverpool FC and liquor, Shane is also one of my favourite deejays in the city and this time around he’s cut us off a rapid fire mix of house, synth pop,…

Storm Queen – It Goes On If memory serves me right it was around this time last year that Morgan Geist debuted the Storm Queen project with “Look Right Through”, and in the process wiped the floor with most of the year’s music in one smooth, acid tinged swoop. I will admit when I saw…

A few months ago Clone got the worldwide electronic community foaming at the mouth with the announcement that there would be new Drexciya re-issues on the way. First off were a few 12s that Clone had already released or re-issued themselves before, leaving us wonder when they’d be pulling out the big guns or if…

Last year’s Returnal album was a pretty enjoyable if far from earth shattering release from Daniel Lopatin and while it’s somewhat of a given that he’d have to pull something pretty incredible out of the bag to ever top his Rifts compilation, I was still intrigued to see what he’d offer up this time. Opener…
