After a fairly delicious live set for SSTN before Christmas, Cignol is going to be previewing a few forthcoming tunes on the night. Really looking forward to his track alongside T-Woc on the next Alphabet Set 7”, plus he’s got an album finished, so drop on down for some exclusives innit. Support will be from the super residential committee of A-Force, Sixfoot Apprentice, Eomac, Rodfather, Redmonk, Richie !K and PCP…
January 29 2010, The Cavern - Isaac Butts. (opposite Busaras)
Kaboogie will be bringin’ plenty more heft with this tasty event which sees the Irish debut of UK bassline rave-steppers THE SQUIRE OF GOTHOS, along with a welcome return from London’s SCHEME BOY. With support from !K-head DJ RODFATHER, this promises to be a right rowdy demon of a night.
The Apnea Ep is a departure from his more sample based, breaks style evident in his previous Ep and live sets, but instead it delivers a mix of big beat soundscapes and subtle melodies.
The ‘22 EP’ is a collection of tracks that Teishi-1 wrote back in the days of the Pad-1 moniker. These were written when he first started playing around with electronic beatmaking, and in a time of transition through listening heavily to the techno sounds from Detroit and Berlin, and leaning to more experimental sounds showcased by the likes of Warp and Leaf Records.
Irish born female DJ producer/artist and DJ. DJ BPM began her music production career making experimental music for fine art performances which where showcased at OMSK events and at fine art studios such as “Mad Cow’s Tea Party” at Catherine Grove Studios.
First show of the new year, woop woop! Beginning with some hip-hop, including ‘Woke Up’, a glitched up neckbreaker from Manus Goan. Stepping into dancehall, reggae and roots land follows, Lady Ann’s ‘Informer’ being one of my favourite tunes at the moment, oldie but goldie buzz. Filastine’s ‘Sinking Ship’ leads us into beatsier territory, with a selection of homegrown dubs from T-Woc, 16 Hertz and Taper Jinx.
SSTN has been highlighting the diverse and exciting talents of Dublin, and Ireland as a whole, through it's free monthly gigs and excellent blog. Each gig is an audio-visual feast, and has featured the likes of Gland & Conduit, Cárthach Ó Nuanáin, Fran Hartnett, Vince Mack Mahon, PushMoveClick and Scurvy Lass. Barely a year old, these guys have been pushing Irish electronic music forward big time. We sat them down, took off their shoes and started quizzing them. Answers popped up as the footrubs progressed.
Although !Kaboogie had initially been born out of a need to have nights that were both fun and bass-heavy, the idea of starting a record label had been discussed since the very beginning. The desire to put out vinyl records ran hand in hand with that of creating artifacts to help document and capture the insane buzz that's been happening at the !Kaboogie parties the last few years.
Ed Devane's mission-statement is to create the kind of music that invokes "paranoia, fear and claustrophobia in the listener". Hurrah!
London's Point B is our latest featured artist. Point B is the creation of Merseyside born Richard Bultitude. Since the days of his experimental four track recordings Richard has come a long way, both musically and geographically. Now residing in London, Richard has a large range of electronic and semi acoustic music for commercial release and broadcast.

The Underground @ Kennedy’s, Westland Row, Dublin 2
Michael Forshaw [Live] (Chan ‘n’ Mikes - Blackpool)
DJ Mustard Gunn (Coin Operated - London)
Redmonk (!Kaboogie - Dublin)
Doors: 10.30pm
Admission: €10
After a memorable debut event at last October’s DEAF, we decided that we couldn’t just leave it there – and moving to the smaller, sweatier surroundings of The Underground @ Kennedy’s for our next gig, we welcome Michael Forshaw and DJ Mustard Gunn as our international guests on February 6th.
Michael Forshaw is a legend in his field. His label Chan ‘n’ Mikes has fashioned some of the craziest techno and electro of the last ten or so years - track and release titles like ‘I Love Horses’, ‘Cheerleaders’ or ‘Boyzone Make Me Wanna Smoke Crack’ have always demonstrated his humorous approach, but it’s the ruthless nature of his production that has set him apart. This is a long overdue return for Forshaw to play live in Dublin and a perfect way to kick off 2010 for us.
Making his Irish debut on the night is Coin Operated label head DJ Mustard Gunn. Coin Operated has been one of the best new labels of the last few years – showcasing a daring mix of UK bass styles from producers like Kanji Kinetic, The Squires Of Gothos, 3d!t, Spaceface and many others… with a friendly nod to the old skool. Mustard Gunn knows how to tear up the club and that’s exactly what he’s going to do when he gets here.
Completing the lineup is Redmonk, one of the craftiest DJs in the Dublin area, as well as one of the masterminds behind the !Kaboogie collective, who have recently been pushing some sick new slabs of black plastic by some of the city’s best and most depraved producers.
Doors to The Underground @ Kennedy’s are at 10.30pm, with admission being a cool €10.

Well Sick
The mighty Prince Kong to lay down four bass-heavy sound-system destroyers. Hot off the back of an album release on US label Middle Management as well as an EP on Belfast's Acroplane, this man is doing it his own way – keeping it evil! 'Well Sick' indeed...
