Beautiful Swimmers, Dogs and Kev Sheridan Feb 11th

Finally after many a moon spent listening to Big Coast on repeat we are ready to welcome Beautiful Swimmers of Future Times out of Washington D.C. to our next party with Radiomade.ie at the Sugar Club on Feb 11th. These guys have been making seriously good dance music incorporating elements of booty shaking, jazzercize and house. See the videos below to confirm their beautifulness. Also on the bill are Le Galaxie who will be dropping ‘synth supernovas and thunderous drum starfields’ into their killer live set which has been getting kudos all over the shop!

N.B unfortunately Le Galaxie have had to pull out of this (next time Gadget!) but we are happy to announce that newcomers Dogs have been booked as well as our old pal Kev Sheridan, the One Man Loop!

The Unabombers Recorded Live @ Fatty Fatty Label Launch 26 November 2011

Well folks, the first release on our sexy new label Fatty Fatty Phonographics is now available all over the world on sexy black 12″ vinyl, just the way the Good Lord intended.

Featuring three tracks of chunky funky 70′s soulfulness reworked for the modern floor, it’s picked up plaudits from the likes of Sleazy Beats Recordings, Dom Servini of Wah Wah 45′s, and Situation Edits ( Disco Deviance), as well as attention from local disco heroes like Billy Scurry, Get Down Edits, Keep Schtum, Check The Guns and Padraic Disconaut.

It’s available at some of our favourite record stores in the world, such as Manchester’s Piccadilly Records, Dutch behemoths Clone.nl, and Juno.co.uk. It’s also available in loads of other shops stretching out as far as Japan at jetsetrecords.net

You can have a quick listen to the tracks here:

To celebrate the release we had two parties last weekend – one with our disco brothers at Belfast Music Club, and a Dublin launch with Manchester’s demon deck wreckers The Unabombers.

The Una’s weaved together a set that summoned up the spirit of 2am at their legendary night Electric Chair in Manchester – plenty of modern sci-fi disco and deep, jackin’ tackle, interspersed with some vintage electro-disco and boogie manoeuvres to keep ‘em juiced.

We simply couldn’t think of a better way to mark our first release than with these boys on the decks, and you can listen to the whole thing right here….

Acts on the day

Since their long, successful careers in the 1980s stockmarket, Hystereo, over the last 5 years, have slowly become one of Ireland’s top dance duos, following their Corporate Crimewave album, they have had a string of successful rebrands from Deadbots, Digitialism & Lowbrows on such label like Soma, Craft & Advanced.

TR-One have come to prominence with a string of releases on their own Broken Audio Movement label, as well as Irish labels like Nice’N’Nasty and Bodytonic’s POGO imprint. Their DJ sets are filled with sheer dancefloor winners from funky soul and disco all the way up to bumpin’ house and techno.

They will be joined by Kev Sheridan and his infamous ‘One Man Loop’ show. Using a variety of electronic gadgets to make modern dancefloor beats, Kev sings snatches of popular hits over them, as well as adding live percussion into the mix as he beats out rhythms on a variety of traditional African drums.

A selection of Ireland’s finest DJ’s and producers from some of Dublins top labels will also be showcased at the event, with a sweet blend of sounds, from dubstep to disco, from hip hop to house.

The farm is an unlicensed venue and thus everyone is more than welcome to bring their own alcohol. No glass is permitted on the farm so, please, take this into consideration. Plastic containers, cups, a fridge facility and ice will be provided for everyone throughout the day. Toilet and cloakroom facilities will also be available. The party is fully insured and is being run with the co-operation of the local Gardai and Hospital.

Keep with the theme of the farm, we are very excited to announce that festival goers will be able to enjoy the culinary skills of The Organic Kitchen, which won the Green Award at last year’s Electric Picnic, and don’t worry veggies, there will be a veggie option.

This is a private party and you have been invited as friends of those people playing on the day or as friends of the organisers. There is no payment at the door nor will there be a paying guest list.

As we said before, once invitations are accepted, you will be asked to make a donation of €25 to cover transport costs and the up keep of the venue.

Ten per cent of any proceeds will be donated to Self Help Africa, a charity dedicated to empowering rural Africans to achieve economic independence through more advanced farming methods and collective bargaining with suppliers.

Fatty Fatty @ Discotekken Saturday 16th April

We’re delighted to have been invited down for a night of ballyhoo in Dublin’s dirtiest basement (that isn’t actually a basement) at Discotekken, suas an staire at the Twisted Pepper. Louis has been doing a fine job of booking a who’s who of supercool talent over the last couple of years, including Juju & Jordash, Space Dimension Controller, I-F and DMX Krew as well as hosting locals like Lerosa, Slow Burn and TR-ONE to name a few.

Nico will be waving the Fatty Fatty banner while Pablo will be representing Downtownsounds. Also on the lineup is Olan from Dublin record label/shop success All City, with Louis himself  also planning to throw down a few tunes.

It’s all about intimacy at Discotekken, with nowhere to hide on the dancefloor you best turn up with your dancing shoes and a smile.

NB: Make sure to put your name down for reduced admission here. It takes 5 seconds and will save you the price of a Budvar!

Double NB: Saturday is also World Record Store Day so if you have any 12”s or LP’s gathering dust on your shelves, bring them down and trade em up with someone else. Remember: one man’s regretful impulse buy is another man’s long sought after diamond.
