Come Here To Me!

February will be an exciting month for alternative, electronic music in the city.

The basement of Murray’s on O’Connell Street will be turned into a somewhat Temporary Autonomous Zone, called Casa Rebelde, as four different crews get together to put on four fantastic gigs.

First up on February 4, our close pal Antrophe will be bringing flying the SoundTracksForThem flag again, taking it away from the laptop screen and into your friday night life. He’s got Yeah Buzz (Dublin), Kid Kongo (Galway) and DJ Rodfather (Dublin) all lined up to give you a bass workout. Facebook event here.

Feb 4, Casa Rebelde.

Next up on February 11, we have long running club night Game Pak who are dedicated to bringing “quality game-related tunage, with game-inspired visuals and classic console games to enjoy on bigscreens” to each gig. They’re bringing over Doshy, “one of Berlin’s most innovative experimental beats-and-bleeps-artists” with support from UBEE (Galway) and GamePak residents xYme and CsixtyForce. Facebook event here.

Feb 11, Casa Rebelde.

On February 18, Ghettoquietly will be launching the new EP from Lady Grew, US/Irelands deadliest female voice in the bass scene. Support on the night comes from Karl Kong (who is flying over from Berlin), Das Bluefood and Sixfoot Apprentice! (Kaboogie). Facebook event here.

Feb 18, Casa Rebelde.

Last but not least, we have the Punky Reggae Party on February 25. The baby of yours truly and DFallon. For starters we have DFallon who will be warming up the crowd with a classic mix of Trojan ska, first wave British punk and floor shaking Northern Soul and then I’ll be breaking out my 45s collection to play some classic Motown, Stax, reggae and Dublin New Wave. For main course, we have Stealin’ Gately, the DJ formerly known as Oshroom, who cut his teeth with Redrum and Bangers n Mash and who will be heating things up with a badman selection of Dancehall, Ragga and Jungle.

Our pièce de résistance is The Dirty Dubsters, our biggest booking yet. With over 2,700 followers on Sound Cloud and 77,000 youtube hits, the duo DJ OBese and Jay SHARP have taken the scene by storm and are set to rock the basement with their very special mashup of bassy ragga jungle, ska house reggae, ragga hip-hop and all things Dub related.
