On The Pulse
Tomorrow night sees the return of Flashmob. Since its formation in 2011, Flashmob has adapted both in its personnel and style of music, as well as evolving into a multi-faceted brand, boasting two record labels and an international radio show.
However, although the project has expanded, the core principles remain the same; creativity, ambition and a tireless work ethic to push the boundaries of dance music both in the booth and behind the decks.
Kamorah and Andrew Azara, tickets €20 and doors 11pm.
Will Kinsella (inset) is back from an exclusive five hour set at DIVISION at PYG before he takes his Hybrasil live project over to Amsterdam for ADE next week.
Saturday is a busy day for Will as he is running his renowned Mixing Mastering Bootcamp during the day tomorrow at Aungier Street DIT from 9am til 5pm.
The day is designed for advanced students, to give them the technical skills to finish their tracks and have them ready to send them to labels and road test in clubs.
Will is no novice in the studio and L has been lecturing and mentoring aspiring music producers since 2011, he has taught at Dublin Institute of Technology and the esteemed Sound Training Centre. He was a house Engineer at Temple Lane & Grouse Lodge studios (where Michael Jackson recorded his last work).
You’ll be equipped to master your own music with instruction on EQ, in depth compression, balance and using FX to add a completely new dimension.
Will has condensed a four week course into a one day intensive workshop. It is delivered in Ableton live using standard plugins and the day costs €299, tickets via Eventbrite.
Finally, Index hosts a night of impeccable techno tomorrow night with Stephanie Sykes and Witch Trials. Sykes brings her own style of deep, atmospheric, banging techno to Irish shores for the first time.
Barry Greaves completes the line up and tickets are €12 with doors 11pm.
Next week I’ll be making the annual pilgrimage to the Amsterdam Dance Event, and of course I’ll be chatting to DJS and Producers from all across the globe for the Digital Groove ADE special.
