Boards DJs Thread

Got the all clear from Zascar so here commences the Boards DJ thread.

Basically a place to let us know where you're DJing, so people can come along, help fill the night, and help people find more good nights .

I'll start things off with a night I'm running next Thursday. It's in the Bernard Shaw, and it's based around Witnail & I, for Richard E. Grant's birthday. Showing a film, then DJs, then a band called Jazzberries, and me DJing at 11. I'll be playing something like this mix.

Free in, and it should be a good night.

Facebook event here with more information.

Just in case anyone does not already know, I run a night called Laundry in the basement of Hogan's - currently its only on the last Friday of every month, but we will be announcing something else in a few months also. We are playing as Laundry DJ's at both the Life Festival and No Place Like Dome too.

About time we had a thread like this, although typical it comes along just as a big long streak of gigs starts to dry out a little!

Playing on Saturday for the Spectrum lads in Kennedy's - Subtle Audio are releasing the second LP by cult Irish pseudo-recluse Polska (he didn't know the name meant "Polish" when he picked it)

Lineup is:

Polska - (Bassbin, Make:Shift, Kin, Subtle Audio, Inperspective)
0=0 - (Synaptic Plastic, Planet Mu)
Code - (Subtle Audio)
Executive Steve (Reach, Ancient Ways, Rnl106.4FM)
Donny Wang (Spectrum)

Tenner in, copies of the CD and Vinyl version on sale at cut prices. €5 for a double cd!

The new Neu! box-set looks seriously tempting!

Can't personally justify the price right now though myself.

anyone in or passing thru vancouver, i run and play at a night in a restaurant that we convert into a bar/club each friday night @ Cassis on Pender.

music varies really depending on who's playing but tis usually hiphop, house, electro, nudisco etc etc kinda stuff. not really my bag, but you have to play to the crowd and all that malarky!

free in every week, drink specials, 420 friendly and sometimes its actually good

Yea Tago Mago's a classic, though my favourite is Hallogallo by Neu! (much copied, especially by Stereolab's earlier stuff check out the "Transient Random Noise Bursts with Announcements" LP, there's a track called jenny Ondioline which you should like) )

Very tempting, depends though on how many are pressed so will it be worth it?! Could be a serious collectors item down the road, my last big box set purchase was the 13th floor elevators Sign of The 3-Eyed Men http://www.internationalartistsrecor..._eyed_men.html

Might actually make an appearance at this to schmooze around a bit - I'll PM you if I am and we'll have a pint or something; I'll be the fella outside w/the Camberwell carrot.

Ha, it made me verify my age to watch that! Knowing the Shaw I doubt you'll be the only one there with a Carrot! That'd be great if you or a few of the lads here could come along. Just because I like it so much, I thought I'd throw up the poster.

Only night I was connected with has now been taken over by ''Girls!Girls!Girls - Dublin's only all-female DJ night'' in the POD (the shame, I know) so I'm fairly deprived of gigs atm. Just after getting an Xponent and new monitors as well...

Doing a bit of repping/shilling for Tripod starting shortly so I expect the odd slot to pop up and am doing a fair amount for Ents in UCD from August AFAIK. Hence I've gone all commercial and...dirty recently. Exams finished on Monday so I'll be hitting the production/remix side of things like a bauld thing ASAP.

If anyone's around the Munster area...

Cork: Liquid Lounge: Marlboro Street
Thursdays: Liam Lavelle and Myself: house and techno (with bits of electro and dubstep) in room two. €5 in and €2 cans makes it all the more worthwhile.
Fridays Fortnightly: Electric Underground (think we won that Irish dance music awards malarky the other week as best small clubnight???) James Holden next week, I'll be warming up, for instance. Monster X, Ben Pest and Prince Kong last week, I think it was. Noisy stuff.

Does this get a lot of students in? At first glance I thought 'savage', but then I started thinking of places in Dublin like Fibbers (rocker bar).
