It’s kinda impossible to talk about the weekend just gone without mentioning that elephant in the room, Bloc 2012. As everyone already knows Baselogic have since gone into administration and it is most likely going to be quite some time – if ever – before the truth comes out about how Bloc managed to fail…

Free Rotation, Tr One and NCW gigs.
After my first trip to Baskerville Hall last summer there was little chance that a return trip to Free Rotation wouldn’t be on the cards. A festival that is as much a massive house party than anything else, for those who like their house, techno and bass music at the deeper end of the scale…
Some new(ish) records I should have posted about at least a month ago.
Things have been super slack around here of late and it sorta seems like an odd time for me to be doing a records post as I’ve had possibly my quietest month for record purchases in many a year, but it’s also been a while since I’ve talked about any so there is some stuff…
Lerosa on Apartment, new Jitterbug on Uzuri, Gary’s Gang this Saturday…
I’ve been slack over the last month with posts and for today it’s just a quick reminder on a couple of new ISM related releases and this Saturday’s party in Dublin. First up, in a stunning show of ineptitude I never posted on here that the Lerosa 12″ No Mad Rush came out at the…
mix for Detroit – “tres tacos con lengua por favor” and ISM’s Movement after party plans
While I was eating lunch just now (hence the name) I threw together a quick mix of tunes I want to be able to listen to in Detroit this weekend. This should be the rightlength to burn to a CD for those of you who might want to bump it in your ride. Download it…

First up is a heads up on a new monthly party a bunch of us are kick starting this Saturday here in Dublin. U Bar is a new and promising space on Hight Street in Christchurch and on the last Saturday of every month the gang are gonna be taking over the 2 floors to…
Realsounds live webcast tonight, the 4th w/Lerosa & myself…
Realsounds is a new Dublin collective who have recently set up one of these live ustream webcasts from a studio in the city, broadcasting once every couple of weeks for 4hrs. Things are kicking off this evening at 7pm (bst) with Sam Kay and Paudi Ahern before myself and Lerosa stumble about behind the decks…
Mix: Underlying Form Podcast
My latest mix is for the Derry based Underlying Form podcast, a newish series put together by Darren Allen. Guests so far have included Jane Fitz and Nick Craddock so keeping pretty good company all told. This one is a pace-y enough run through of electro, Chicago trax and some other bits and bobs. Juju…
Records: Andres, Bleep43, Plant43, Drexciya
Andres – New For U Detroit’s Dj Dez is one of those perennial underachievers. Fans of his superb dj and productions skills may think I’m talking through my arse but even with a healthy enough bunch of much loved releases, mainly on Mahogani/KDJ, he has remained a somewhat cultish figure in the Detroit house scene,…
Juju & Jordash – live/sex
That title may sound a lil off putting but please don’t be. The Isreali duo have been doing a bunch of live shows of late taking in a few European cities and the US. I’m still to have the pleasure of catching them do their ting but they’ve started recording shows and have placed 2…
