  Mix: Jitterbug @ Gary’s Gang 3rd May 2013

  05.22.13 | Permalink | Comment?

  We’d a rather large amount of fun a few weeks back when Jitterbug came over to play at our lil Gary’s Gang shindig here in Dublin; some would say too much fun. But it’s fine, our head’s have stopped hurting now. We recorded the night and Jitterbug has given it the ok to post it [...]

  Frak – Erase

  05.20.13 | Permalink | Comment?

  We all know by now about the (re)emergence of Sweden’s Frak in 2012, a trio of strange fish who had managed to fly under the radar of most of the world up until a string of releases last year, most notably on Digitalis and Kontra. So after such a high profile year it was odd [...]

  Bitter Sweet Blues ‘n Black Deers

  05.10.13 | Permalink | 4 Comments

    Even by my standard that headline is a pretty awful attempt at rounding up a few of the releases highlghted in this post. But it’s late at night so whatever. Let’s start with the the bitter so. Mr Scott Grooves has a tendency to appear on the fringes every couple of years before slipping [...]

  Jitterbug in Dublin tomorrow night, Apt00 Repress plus a couple of other tings…

  05.02.13 | Permalink | Comment?

  Tomorrow night sees the Dublin debut of one of ISM’s more stealth operators, Jitterbug. Never one for fanfare, Jitter has quietly been sneaking out some killer music over the last few years, mostly via Uzuri, with his Arcane Theory ep from this time last year being a standout release. He also featured recently on  this [...]

  New Irish Bizness

    Things are tipping over nicely for Irish related action at the moment, be it artists or labels. So here’s a quick rundown of whats a gowan. First up is a new kid on the block from Derry, The Cyclist. With a tape album out in 2011 on Crash Symbols, “Bones In Motion” sees his [...]

  The House That Jack Didn’t Build

  03.05.13 | Permalink | 6 Comments

  Last year saw a huge influx of producer’s both new and old jumping on the house band wagon. They would label their work deep and it would follow a path, well, more of a rocky road, that we have been down many times before. This road took us back to the 90′s but it left [...]

  The 483rd Review of 2012

  12.28.12 | Permalink | 2 Comments

  More so than ever this year seems to be rife with end of year lists.  Most decent things have gotten a nod off someone at this stage so maybe this is redundant. Oh well. This is not a definitive list of 2012′s top music (even for me).  I bought less music this year than any [...]

  Emeralds – Just To Feel Anything

  11.06.12 | Permalink | Comment?

  When I first saw Emeralds play live at Unsound back in 2010 my friends and I couldn’t help but notice their performance dynamics. On the right you had the stoic keyboardist, in the middle the pretty boy guitarist with his expressive licks and hair flicking and, most amusingly, on the left, with his back turned [...]

  Gmos25 – Syliphone Mix – Music From Guinea

  10.26.12 | Permalink | 3 Comments

    Editions Syliphone Conakry was the most famous of a number of state-funded labels set up in Guinea post-independence under the cultural policy known as Authenticité, the purpose of which was to revive and modernise the arts, especially music, while still remaining faithful to traditional roots. Regional orchestras were established throughout the country, including Bembeya [...]
