FLASHBACK returns after our NYE gig with 808 STATE headlining and anyone who was at that will testify to what an absolutely amazing night that was, in the last 9 months we've brought to Dublin bonafide Old Skool legends Slipmatt, Brandon Block and 808 State so it's about time before our huge event planned later in the summer that we give something back to our residents so for this event we have resident DJ's Chris D and Derek Cully alongside special guests John Flavrjay Conlon, David Murphy and Elaine Robbins for another night of vintage OLD SKOOL from right across the spectrum and not just the same old overplayed classics which we avoid.

Pay on the door on the night, expect the usual amazing music and atmosphere as is par of the course at a Flashback event.

CHRIS D

Jetting in again from Moscow where he is based is the superb Chris D.

Resident Flashback DJ Chris D has been on the Irish music scene since the early 80’s. Chris D was instrumental in the foreground and the background of the Irish Dance scene from its conception and his hard work laid the foundation for the dance scene we enjoy today. People who used to go to the brilliant Waterfront / Columbia Mills will remember Chris who played every Thursday for several years, he has also regularly guested in the all the top clubs, Kitchen, the Ormond and Temple Theatre. PA’s Dundalk and numerous other places and has supported the Cream of DJ';s as Ian Ossia from Renaissance and Manchester legendary DJ Nipper and most recently the godfather of Rave, DJ Slipmatt. Chris has also supported the legendary SL2 and Q-Sound as well. The familiar face behind the counter of Outlaw records and the founder of One Cut Studios Dublin’s first DJ studio, Chris was also part of the Inner conscience Crew that brought us the Irish records, Moonboom Jacobs ladder and the Garden of Eden parties. Chris’s skilful hands on mixing style needs to be seen and his tune selection is second to none.

The major part that Chris has played on the Irish dance scene not only in the foreground like most other DJs but his hard work and dedication behind the scene must be acknowledged and its fitting and deserved that he have the title Irish Dance Music Legend.

DEREK CULLY

Flashback resident Derek Cully has been DJing now for 19 years, the last few years has seen a meteoric rise for Derek with numerous bookings across Ireland, Derek's weekly show History of House on Kickstream TV every Saturday from 6pm which has regular guests has become immensely popular and has attracted viewers not just all over Ireland but across Europe and beyond.

Derek's varied style and mixing skills has made him a firm favourite with many old skoolers and he has supported Slipmatt, Brandon Block and more recently 808 State on NYE where he absolutely ripped the place up with a slamming old skool set, so as ever we look forward to hearing what Derek pulls out of the bag on the night.
