Rian Ryan [Electric City]
Mano Le Tough *Live
Dave Noonan

Admission - e6 / Free with flyer before 12.

First up this week is EC debutant Dave Noonan Dave Noonan has been DJjing house and techno for a few years, mainly in Galway where he has gigged at GPO, Black Box and some of the smaller venues around the city. More recently he DJ-ed at DEAF 2007 and headlined a few times at Viva @ Trinity Rooms over the last couple of years. Dave is also a regular contributor of features, interviews and reviews for residentadvisor.net. Not one to stop still, he also hosts his own radio show on www.sirenium.com which has a focus on deep techno and electronic music and also features guest mixes from djs/producers involved in such music.

Next up flying in all the way from his adopted Heimat of Berlin is Mano Le Tough. From an early age music played a big part in Mano's life. At the age of six he was swapping Nirvana and Elvis tapes with classmates and at the age of eight began formal piano training. In his teens Mano began playing guitar and drums in bands variously influenced by funk, rock and country before finding his calling in the world of electronic music. An apprenticeship Djing in the clubs and after parties of Dublin led to gigs in Barcelona, London, Munich and Berlin. In the past year production and live sets have taken priority for Mano and his first productions have gained the attention of Prins Thomas who is releasing Mano's "Warhorn" and "Halve the Sun" on his Internasjonal imprint. Mano has also started work on various side projects including a collaboration with District of Corruption label boss Aaron Hedges.

Finishing up we have EC resident and man of Eel Rian Ryan with another Abelton driven set. There has been fierce debate down in the EC canteen ever since Rian started using Abelton. Was he better when he chopped it up quicker than a Fleet Street barber? Or does spacebar techno have the same effect? You decide! Either way it will give us something to talk about on Friday morning as we wait for our runny eggs.

Phonique // Change of venue:

Due to a rather lavish private party taking place on Thursday February 7th in Wax. Phonique will now be playing at Traffic for one night only. "For its a grand old team to play for, For its a grand old team to see, And if you know the history, Its enough to make your heart goooohhh......."
