Greetings music lovers... Ireland based music blog
The first line-up for Mantua Festival in Roscommon is out of the bag, and it’s now a three day festival. Here’s the names on the board so far:
Clark (Warp, UK) / Taskforce (MFTC, UK) / Shackleton (Skull Disco, de) / Couds (live) (Nopa, 2nd Drop, FL) / Cotti (Soul Jazz, Bassface, UK ) / Ital [...]
I’ve really warmed to The Kills latest album Midnight Boom in the last few weeks. Before I always thought they were style over substance but this album really nails the sparse rock ‘n’ roll combo rather well. It helps that Mosshart and Hince drafted XXXChange of Spank Rock to work on the beats. You can [...]
Hit this tomorrow night…

Excellent Radio One documentary giving an overview of UK dubstep. The only downside is you have to listen to the woman Hobbs throughout.

If you missed it the [...]

Stasis Collective present Boxcutter in 4 Dame Lane on the 22nd of February. The set will consist of a live 3-Piece Band (Drummer / synths / sampler / guitar) booming on a €6,000 rig. Boxcutter, known [...]
Last week, I was talking about my general disappointment in Dubstep in 2007. Readers left insightful comments to counteract the argument but the fact remains that I wasn’t that excited much last year.
Maybe these things turn out to cyclical however. During the week I received a tip-off concerning Benga’s latest Breezeblock for Mary Ann [...]
After 2006’s buoyant year for Dubstep, I found 2007 to be a very lacklustre affair in the chest-rattlin department. Sure, Burial received critical praise for Untrue, Boxcutter released an album that counted as a dubstep fusion album, The Bug continued his run of excellent collaborations with Warrior Queen and I enjoyed tracks from the likes [...]
