I posted this over on the off-topic thread but it's prob got lost among the creaming over Joan Burton posts
... if any folks are going to this little night on the town and were into a few squirts beforehand then if a local wishes to nominate a time and venue then mayhap we'd have a mini boards night out. 0 -

We actually joked before about having a crèche in the side room of the venue, looks like it definitely would have come in handy
Hope you can still make it man0 -

gonna be leaving Waterford shortly to head to Dubtown for this. Looking forward to meeting up with folks along the way. I'd not know many of the Dublin heads so say hi if you see the middle aged metal head in the Meshuggah tee swaying to the beats.
Here's hoping CJ plays 'Living On A Prayer'
Party on, Mick0 -
Not going to make it to this, the forces of mature life have got in the way of the pursuit of a past youth
Anyway, tell CJ I said hello and ask him to play this for me :pac:

Absolutely brilliant night one of the best ive had in a long time, the crowd and music were amazing.
I caught some of Pierce Rooneys set and it was top notch, Frank De Wulf came on, didn't play as hard as i thought he would but nevertheless played a really good set but CJ Bolland :eek: fuc*ing wow, slamming in yer face grinding Techno i can safely say ive not heard a Techno set as good in years probably since the late 1990's, he absolutely destroyed the place playing tunes from the legendary labels Bonzai and R & S amongst others,it was relentless no let up absolutely slamming, ive always rated CJ Bolland but after last night id rate him in the top 5 Techno DJ's ever,and his mixing was of the highest quality, Belgian Techno is what it's at,the crowd absolutely loved it, the atmosphere was superb from start to finish and the club was packed.
Serious Techno rinsed out i absolutely loved it, massive respect to Earwiggle and everyone else involved in last night,it was a success from start to finish, fu*k me CJ Bolland knows how to work a crowd big time.
I'll upload some videos i took in a while. 0 -

Thanks to everyone that came in on Friday, and made it the truly great night that it was.
So many highlight moments from CJ, Frank and Pierce, and it gave us particular pleasure to do a gig like this that brought together some of the best of old skool techno, house, hardcore and trance in one night. CJ and Frank were blown away by the response they received in Dublin for this gig, as you could probably see for yourselves!
Special mention to Kun Kontrol for his amazing work on visuals on the night; he was totally clued into what we were looking for, and between him and the venue lighting engineer (Andy we think?) they couldn’t have done better.
There are already a lot of wicked videos making their way up to Youtube and we're just in the middle of uploading our own stockpile too. Look out for videos from the night by ‘Deza808’ especially, they have come out brilliantly!!
A lot of people have asked us when the next Earwiggle show of this type will be on next; the answer is that we don't know exactly, but we definitely have plans to do something there again and already have a lineup or two in mind. We will of course keep you all updated! (don’t forget that we are at The Underground @ Kennedy’s with Perc, Smear and Giles Armstrong on Feb 25th which promises to be another blinder).
Finally, to answer another question – the sets WERE recorded and provided approval comes from each of the DJs on the night, the sets will be broadcast on 2FM very soon, and presumably be made available in some shape or form after that too.
So, once again thanks to all that came along and brought proper vibes to the dancefloor. Reeeeespect

Keep up the good work Earwiggle team
Frank was mixing classic after classic in the same key, basically making bootleg mashups on the spot.
Then CJ especially was (as usual) belting out a fantastic set. really looking forward to hearing those sets again - Haven't heard "electric deluxe" out in a looong time. The visuals/lights complimented every epileptic seizure track to a T
Ha, remember CJ walking up and down the stage shouting "You think God belongs only to you!" And by the way, what was that last *blinding* techno track he played just before slowing it down at the end before capricorn 20 hz?? He always plays it anytime he's over here (that and the prophet). Must get a copy of that set to try to finally ID that one 0 -

Ah would yiz stop, I'm still feckin raging I didn't get to this - and to hear all the talk of him playing old lesser played techno makes me even more I swear, when I missed him play in about 95 I was gutted and I'm gutted again now. I used to play the sh1t out of his DJ Kicks years ago, was a huge favourite for me back then...
http://www.discogs.com/CJ-Bolland-DJ-Kicks/release/2796
So what other legends would people like to see play again? Others that don't typically play these days that were well known back then? For me I'd like to see any of the below play a set like they did then... to name a few anyway!
Justin Robertson / Billy Nasty / Eric Powell / Andy Weatherall / Darren Emerson / John Aquaviva0 -

Weatherall is playing for Big Dish Go on March 4th (I think) in Kennedy's actually.
Eric Powell could do something interesting maybe but not sure how active he is, or how much interest there would be. Maybe we could just organise a boxing match between him and Dave Clarke over the rights to the Red series, am sure people would go to that?!
Nasty would be the last dj we'd consider of booking for a host of reasons. Good dj back in the day, but we like to book people that still appear to take their audience and craft seriously. He has let down a lot of people here in recent years.
Actually a small little gig with Acquaviva would be awesome.
Emerson playing stuff like he did on his 'Psychotrance' cd would be wicked.
We have a few plans for sure, not necessarily involving the names mentioned, but you should be into them when we put together 0 -

Yeah I heard some bad things alright in recent years about him and his attitude, awful shame as he was one of the best back then. From what I can remember the Temple of Sound had pretty much exclusive rights to him for a couple of years around the mid 90s... and any night he played there you were guaranteed a bloody good night.
Funny you mention that Emerson Psychotrance mix, I had only been listening to that a couple of weeks ago and was what inspired me to mention him for an oldskool techno set, great mix. As is the Eric Powell one too actually.0 -

Pity about Billy Nasty as he was a total legend in Dublin in the 1990's.
do you guys only book Techno DJ's too?
I love my Techno but House is and always has been no 1 with me, would love to see some promoter bringing over some legends like Danny Rampling or Graeme Park.:)0 -

folks, here is the track - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MNVkzGbGvk8 (start at around 50 seconds). I asked CJ on the night - he said its a green vinyl apparently on Bonzai records but didn't know the name.. If you can ID this one I'd be much obliged!
edit - the track is "Quick Reverse - God's Reason" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6O-S6D0F4DQ 0 -

Cheers man. Yes, that was our first gig, and one we're very proud of.
Check the reception he gets when the music stops at 1.47

It didn't get recorded.
