Wow, the last post I delivered certainly received a lot of feedback. Much appreciated to all those who replied and gave their two-cents worth. If I had the wherewitall and the time, I’d love to promote a Sunday afternoon gig that would be family-friendly – preferably outdoors in good weather, with a BBQ and a…
Carl Craig hit my home town of Dublin recently, the night before Paddy’s Day, as part of the tour celebrating 20 years of Planet E. A pal of mine was considering going – but, he asked, would he look out of place in the crowd at the venue, as he is a man in his mid-thirties?
EDIT: As has been mentioned in the comments, I referenced the wrong publication – it was Jockey Slut, not Muzik, which used the blindfold gimmick. It’s all just a haze . . . . Back in the late 1990s, there existed a British dance music magazine called Muzik, which was supposed to be more ‘high…
It was 13 years previously the last time I had seen Kenny Larkin dj in Dublin. Well, approximately 13 years ago – definitely sometime in the late ’90s. He played at a regular Friday techno night in U2’s club, The Kitchen (which no longer exists). He dropped all the techno hits of the day, ‘Spastik, ‘Preacher Man’, ‘Forklift’,…
Most techno producers seem to want to gravitate towards Berlin, the Mecca of all things technoid, but not native German Arne Weinberg, a man who has built up an impressive musical CV for himself in the last decade. He has set up shop in Scotland, Glasgow to be precise, for the last couple of years,…
Vince Watson, the veteran Scottish producer, is not a name that you will see regularly hyped, but he has been making his music, his way, for well over a decade and is set to unleash a whole host of releases with his recently relaunched Bio label (unfortunately, digitally only at present) and with another new…
Joy is not in things; it is in us. Richard Wagner Some of you may remember me. I was a contributor to ISM and three of my posts still survive. Some personal problems I have experienced of late have had some catastrophic results, including the destruction of the majority of my record collection. This, however,…
Delsin is a label synonymous with quality. ISM got head honcho Marsel van der Wielen to have a quick chat about a label that is now an institution. Dutch Gold, baby.
Pauly Martin (anagram), Platinumray is one of Dublin’s most underrated DJs. His party style DJing is one of playfulness, mixing different flavours of dance and electronic sounds. Although never afraid to get abstract and wonky (and he is definitely wonky – but in a good way, wonkiness is closer to goodliness) with his selections, it…
Colin Lindo, aka Alpha Omega and Nubian Mindz, is an electronic music veteran who can turn his hand to many genres and makes music that didn’t easily fit into specific genre definitions (we like that here). He has recorded for legendary jungle label Reinforced and his New World Chaos album on Archive is an underrated…
