Thursday night (27th), Super Extra Bonus Party and Le Bien are playing Backlash along with Funboi and Mark Allton in the club room from 11pm. I have 3 pairs of tickets to giveaway to those who want them.
I’m learning my way around mixing at the moment, more fun than anything else. I have one in the can which I’m going to throw up here on Friday. So to tie in with all that, the first three people to leave a comment telling me what their favourite mix is at the moment, gets a pair of passes each.
Also, on Saturday night, the Shock boys are having their first birthday bash in Kennedys with Rory Phillips (Durrr/OurDisco, London) Jon Averilll & Fallout Boy. Loads of info on that here. From what I’ve heard about Rory Phillips, his sets are worth catching. Check out the Shock site for a podcast mix and intaview. Another mix available at BigStereo.

Niall Byrne is the founder of the most-influential Irish music site Nialler9, where he has been writing about music since 2005 . He is the co-host of the Nialler9 Podcast and has written for the Irish Times, Irish Independent, Cara Magazine, Sunday Times, Totally Dublin, Red Bull and more. Niall is a DJ, founder of Lumo Club, club promoter, event curator and producer of gigs, listening parties & events in Dublin.
Fav mix right at this moment is Villalobos’ new mix CD for Fabric (No. 36). Although it’s a mix, it’s all original tracks by himself (otherwise unreleased).
You should also check out the March 2007 Villalobos mix from the Essenza Club in Italy. About 3 hours long, you can find it on any bittorrent tracker, or an index like IsoHunt. Contains a few of the tracks contained on the Fabric Mix (including ‘Primer Encuentro Latino Americano), also that 20 minute long refix of ‘Rose Rouge’ by St Germain, and other swirling, incessant gems that seem to go on forever at times. I was never a big fan, I like some of his stuff on Playhouse, and “808 The Bass Queen” is one of my favourite tracks, but right now at the moment as both a producer and a DJ he’s doing no wrong, lets hope someone brings him over to Dublin soon.
Hmmmm….Prosumer mix of Dash Dude on Morris Audio Citysport.
Cahony, x and Sali – do you all want to be put down for Backlash passes tonight?
Sure Niall, looking forward to it. Cheers.
Any plans for an In Fact ah comeback or likewise any time Cahony?
Niall, that’s a ludicrous proposition and I can say categorically it would never ever be likely to happen any time very, very, soon. 😉
put us down for a pair if ya still have them skin.
Sorry, didnt see the offer until now, I was in Vicar Street for Des Bishop. Thanks anyway.
