On The Pulse
Greetings from this years ADE taking place until Sunday in Amsterdam. I came over with minimal sleep and will no doubt be leaving with even less.
A good Irish contingent over here as well which is always encouraging. Listen in to this Monday’s radio show for all the interviews and gossip from this year’s event –9pm RTE PULSE.
Meanwhile, back home there’s a lot to keep you busy, starting with Sub Cub and Limbo records Harri who joins other Sub Club resident Domenic at District 8.
After cutting his DJ teeth in the Sub Club and elsewhere around Glasgow during the 80’s, Harri teamed up with Slam duo Stuart Mcmillan and Orde Meikle. Together in 1990 they started the infamous Sub Club weekly Saturday, “Atlantis,” where they collectively carved out their own piece of clubbing notoriety.
The departure of Slam from the club in 1994 saw Harri join forces with one of Glasgow’s most talented young DJS, Domenic Cappello. Together they created Subculture, the Sub’s flagship weekly Saturday night.
Just shy of 20 years on, Subculture, with Harri and Domenic still at the helm, is the longest running weekly House night in the UK.
Subculture has thrived where so many house clubs have flagged because the night has always embraced and sought out the most innovative and culturally relevant electronic music – regardless of fickle fashions or commercial pressures, and the duo bring their vibe to our Capital as part of their Sub Club XXX tour. Doors are 10pm.
Tomorrow the Mix & Fairbanks boys are back with a full bag of edits, grooves and straight up banging jams to blow the roof off Wigwam in Middle Abbey Street.
The last while disco is exploding all over Dublin, and riding this wave are the likes of Mix & Fairbanks.
Delectable disco cuts aren’t exactly the order of the day in the countryside of Newbridge where the lads are from, but that hasn’t done anything to temper the efforts of Gary and Rob
Their clever sampling and has enabled them to create a stream of quality cuts, which brought them to venues like The Button Factory, District 8 and Pygmalion and festivals such as Body & Soul, Longitude, Castlepalooza, Life Festival and Electric Picnic.
2017 has seen several releases from the duo, receiving support from Skream, House of Disco, Nialler9, Get Down Edits, and radio play from 2FM and Todayfm. Residents Damp Wax doing the support duties, doors 22.00.
