tape delayed mix

great video from the redbull music academy detailing the inappropriate use of christian vogel's malfunctioning vintage dynalux tape delay. (the track is one i made at the academy...more on that later)

break over...

so the last two weeks i've been making a lot of music and not blogging very much! last week i finished a new track which is i guess in the electronic deep house vein, it is called "deep trouble" and you can hear it on my myspace very soon. apart from losing myself in 909 and 808 samples i also went to some gigs over the last bit, the highlight of which was efdemin and carsten jost at cookies two weeks ago, fantastic music all night long, deep house, acid tracks, old school techno...lovely lovely.. i also went to see my fellow red bull academy participant goldielocks play at an unfortunately quiet party at alex platz last thursday, she is currently doing very well with her blend of electro/grime and i was happy to see her featured in the sunday times when i was at home in ireland at the weekend. when i was in dublin on friday i also got my first look at bodytonics new venue "the twisted pepper". it is amazing what they have done with the venue (it used to be traffic) and i am very excited about playing live there on the 6th of december.

hallobeen and gone

this weekend i was back in dublin to see friends and family but i also ended up playing two gigs, one in dublin and one in my hometown greystones. the party in dublin on Friday was the aforementioned warehouse party which was a great sucess. the party took place in a warehouse building near dublin city centre that is currently being used as a space for artists galleries. the party was run by the nightflight guys and hopfully willl be the first of many. it would be great if they could pull of some sort of secret sundaze/mulletover style parties in the future, i think it would be great for dublin clubbing... anyway the party was cool and was still going strong when i left at about 8 am. mark le tough kicked off the party with some nice deep house and techno followed by me, then sian then all of us playing back to back, i think the party wound down to lil dave, mark and funboi aka l.a. gear playing disco and hilarious stuff... on saturday i made my first appearance at a party that mark le tough was putting on in greystones, our seaside hometown in wicklow, it took place in the towns new theatre which was surprisingly cool and had pretty decent sound. it was strange playing to people not necessarily used to house and techno but i found that if you built a groove they went for it. i think if you trust in peoples ears they respond well to good records although admitedly they might need to break down their preconceptions and social hang ups with alcohol or whatever first...
