JAM and other related stuff...

The Socket

Well folks what a year. We just about survived it with a whopping 24 shows at the 12 nights to Christmas festival in December, so we took a well deserved piss up and got the heads down on a few new club nights for you for the new year.

Big shout out and kudos to all of you who have come to the gigs and parties over the last year and supported the label throughout. Hopefully 2009 will be an even better one!!!
A few new nights happening at the moment about Dublin and a few upcoming shows with Phil Hartnoll, Infected Mushroom, Bonehead (unofficial Oasis after party), Mr. Oizo & more tbc
We'd love to see a-skillz, Lee Perry, Vadim and a few others back too...
In label news, both Skuzziport and Digital Circus are preparing their new albums as well as brazillian electro rockers 'Zemaria' who are putting the final touches and shooting the video singles for their 4th!!! yes, 4th album!
Marcel from Zemaria has also set up his own label smoke island and released a really cool compilation album with a couple of proper dancefloor killers. I was going to keep this a secret so I was the only one who had the tracks to drop in the clubs here but here goes and PLEASE let us know the feedback Its really nice stuff that you all should hear.

Will try to keep the forum updated with news but best to log onto myspace to find the most up to date shizzles.
Hope you can drag yourselves off those cosy couches and come join the party, there's plenty a goings on over the next while!

Rockin' Indie electro skunkfuzz!!! Or 'JAM' as we've decided to call it.
Every Thursday night at Think Tank Temple bar we'll be blowing the roof off with 2 rooms of mayhem and jaw dropping music of the aforementioned nature. The main room will be live acts and dj's and the back room will be the harder side to the night for all of you foot stompers out there.
Launch night Kicks off this Thursday at 10pm. Arrive early for Jam sambo's and tea


This Sunday at the Vico Rocks we have a special Jam session in store.

Kicking off at 7pm 1 Half of 'String Theory' will be manning the turntables along with Wookie on the Flute and Gazza on Bongo's and live percussion. Playing a range of hip hop funk soul and electronica to kick start the night.

Skuzziport who are currently on a break from the 'live' scene to record a new album will be headlining the night with a 5 piece band.
Originally a 2 piece electronic outfit they have transformed many of their original works into a live band structure and are now gearing up for a heavy year of gigging to promote the new release which is due out this summer.
This should be a buzzy affair.


Also one more thing...The Rasta train will be rolling into Temple bar every wednesday night starting this Wednesday at Think Tank from 10pm.
The 2 rooms will feature dub/roots/ dancehall dj's/ mc's/ live percussion in the main room with Dubstep/ d n'b/ trip-hop & Breaks in the back room.
The 7 deadly skins will also be sporting the session upstairs in The Mezz bar.
admission to the club is recession friendly 3 yo's Hoorah!
