Night_Flight

Button Factory | Friday 24th October | Doors 10pm | €15eu

A great month at Nightflight so far with Prins Thomas, Space Camp's second birthday and this week we've an even stronger line-up as part of DEAF 2008.

The theme for this week is Irish acts who are making an international splash & therefore becoming no longer Irish in our eyes!
We're opening a little earlier than usual too fit all the acts in.

On the in-flight menu is Ireland's most in demand techno producer Chymera who will be headlining with a live set.

Brendan Gregoriy aka Chymera spent his formative years immersed in the sounds of Alice In Chains, Nine Inch Nails and Tool, before moving from his native Cork to Dublin and beginning a love affair with Detroit. Since then his take on the melodies of the Motor City have straddled the fine line between house and techno, offering a lush sound described by Resident Advisor as “a European’s take on Detroit techno: the beats are simple and the synths are indefatigable and infectious”. Now based in Barcelona, Gregory’s profile has risen significantly via releases on labels like Ovum, NRK, Delsin and the Dublin-based Nice and Nasty, with added plaudits coming from heavyweights like Francois K, who included Chymera’s Wish on his mix for the Ministry Of Sound Masterpieces series.



Opening up the night will The Incredible Synth Eastwood Band who do a live set with submitted audio loops from their Cycles show which you can check out for free at Filmbase across the road from Button Factory and that kicks off around 8pm.

Setting the scene for the evening are Dublin duo Soul AD. Since 2006 they have released a plethora of work by up and-coming Irish artists on their Mode Music label. Here music by Chymera and electro-funkers Digital Circus sits comfortably alongside releases from established artists like Freerange’s Milton Jackson, Playhouse’s Simon Baker and Soma Records legends Silicone Soul.

Rising star John Daly started his own label, Feel Music in 2005. Since then he has had several successful releases on other labels such as Chaton's Plak Records, Areal Records' sub-label IRR, and Francois K's Wave Music. In addition to this he has released some very successful remixes on labels such as Compost and Rekids, with more due soon. He is a long-time dj and vinyl enthusiast, these days playing a mixture of extra deep house and techno with a generous helping of disco thrown in at his regular gigs around Ireland and Europe.

This year has seen him play in the infamous Panorama Bar in berlin, as well as Zukunft, Zurich, with more dates at Watergate, Berlin, the Amsterdam Dance Event.

Also don't forget about our Fancy Dress Halloween Party with The Black Devil Disco Club live, Mark Allton & Pablo. + its 5eu off for those who dress up. + live visuals & masks from Dublin's Kool Lazers!
