Meteor Camden Crawl Dublin takes place this Bank Holiday weekend in 15 venues (17 with comedy) around the city from Camden Street to Dame Street and beyond. See the timetable and the bands playing the Nialler9 night along with the other hosts over the weekend. Join the event page for more updates too.

On Sunday night in the Village following Three Trapped Tigers, Orlando Peter FitzGerald aka Orquesta will be DJing before Darkstar take to the stage. Orlando’s put together a Soundcloud set of music suggestive of the kind of thing you can expect from him. His tropical-leaning bass-heavy electronic style is full effect here with tracks from Romare, Murlo’s remix of Mohammed Alidu, Mano Le Tough, Imo Brothers International Band, Kingdom, Ciara and a Justin Timberlake bootleg from King Kong.

Orquesta’s off to the Red Bull Music Academy New York shortly and we can expect collaborations with Kid Smpl and Lido Pimienta soon also. Enjoy the mix:

Shit Robot – ‘Feels Real’ featuring Luke Jenner of The Rapture

The new single from Marcus Lambkin’s Shit Robot finds the trademark disco synth swagger in full effect. What sets ‘Feels Real’ apart from last year’s ‘Space Race’ single is Luke Jenner of The Rapture’s discotastic falsetto. Here, he’s credited simply as JENR. The song is out on a 12″ on Monday through DFA with remixes by Luke Solomon and Larse.

Also next week, Shit Robot is playing Cypress Ave, Cork on May 3rd, Roisin Dubh, Galway on May 4th and Button Factory, Dublin post Camden Crawl with The Field on May 5th. If you’re in NYC, he’ll be playing the DFA/RBMA closing party alongside a whopper lineup. Stream the track below via the Vimeo vid:

Break Bread – Listen to tracks made by 15 producers from a set of samples & rules

Break Bread is a fortnightly beat cypher challenging numerous producers to make a beat with set samples, limitations and rules.

The idea is simple. Every two weeks, a contributing producer sets the ground rules and picks the samples that everyone else must use. After two weeks, the finished tracks are posted online for all to hear and to download.

SertOne and Monto came up with the concept originally while on the Lightbox tour last year. “Myself and Monto wanted a challenge to force us to practice our craft and push ourselves outside our normal parameters hence the rules,” says Sert. “The rules and sample(s) are set by a different member every edition, in the hope that this forces creativity and for everyone to try something new.”

Zomby – ‘Soliloquy’

3 weeks ago in Dance & Electronic

Zomby is back with a new album this year, which will be a sprawling 33-track affair on triple vinyl and double CD called With Love on 4AD. The title track has been online for a few weeks, but the bleeping bass-driven horror atmosphere of ‘Soliloquy’ that has me excited and eager to delve back into his last album Dedication this weekend.
