What’s Mickey Talking About?
Amazing bootleg remix of Redlight feat Ms Dynamite here. The trancey stadium synths and lilting autotuned vocals in the original had me stuck in a love hate middle ground through out the summer. This re-fix here totally renews the tune for me. The drums in this are a total ear worm, they just crawl in and lay eggs – no getting rid of them. Download this and another one over at the Blunted Robots website. There’s a Fact Magazine mix... Read More
Sweaty Basement Affairs / Kid Kongo Mix January 2011
If blogging was a shoot out at dawn on the set of a dusty spaghetti western, then I’d be fucked. The lightening quick typing fingers of Sam from CHTM has this one up first. Through out the month of February a cohort of promoters are organizing a sequence of Friday night shin digs in the basement of Murrays which, and don’t hold me to it, is meant to be undergoing something of a refurbishment. First up will be myself this Friday, with... Read More
Cultural Fatwa: The Villagers
photo credit: JP-Flanigan As Conor O Brien stumbles shambolically but inexorably towards that Choice music win – Culturalfatwa sticks the resentment pin up the arse of the Villager’s Bubble… Ah yes I recall it well one Tuesday night as the twitter flowed warm with Oirish love. It seems hardly a few months ago where it seemed close to overload as the leading hipsters of the Dublin scene spilled yearningly into their key boards; “Check... Read More
In Me Ears: Zef Jam Pod Cast and Kaboogie.
First up, Kaboogie have their fifth birthday party next Friday down in that place we love so well, the Fisted Lepper. And what a fucking night it is too, unfortunately I’ll be missing it for the less dank shores of Lisbon. Mungo’s Hi Fi stormed it down in Galway a few weeks ago, brilliant skanking sound system stuff. Scratcha DVA is the guy behind the Grimey Breakfast show on Rinse.fm - a show that’s worked as a life saver... Read More
Some Footwork
Not really sure what to expect from Planet Mu head honcho Uziq come this Friday in Twisted Pepper, given his own general output and obsessive charting of mutating genres it could go anywhere. Either way, if you haven’t heard his mix showcasing some of the increasingly frenetic and sub bass obsessed contemporary Chicago juke scene he’s been signing up lately then check it below.

Vidiot: Stacy’s Story By Lunitic.
A video from Dean Scurry, for a tune by Lunitic – bit of a dodgy line on refugees, but other than that a real dark melody about life on junk in Dublin. Read More
Vidiot: We.Music
It’s a bit of a tired and tested theme, what the whole internet ripping apart the distribution of music thing. What makes We.Music worth watching is its focus. Away from arguments over piracy, it looks at the impact the digital revolution has had on a varied group of producers and artists in Sao Paulo. You’ve got Baile Funk legend Dj Chernobyl , some hip hop MC’s and a bunch of indie waifs – but it wades clear of favella... Read More
