We are pleased to announce that on Sunday 28th June starting from 2pm in Twisted Pepper the following...
In the back room on the ground floor and playing live:
Sunken Foal
We saw Sunken Foal playing live in Twisted Pepper for !kaboogie a few months ago and knew we had to have them play at Second Square to None. Beautifully organic and intricate electronics presented in a remarkably live fashion - main man Dunk Murphy tweaks his synths and mysterious looking Logic Pro environment set up while opposite Rod Morris taps in the beats and samples on a keyboard. Sunken Foal are one of a small handful of Irish acts who have reached the peak of electronica cool by getting an album released on the Planet-Mu label, "Fallen Arches". Check that shit out!
BluefoodLong-time Alphabet Set cohort Bluefood makes fun music - music that will put a smile on your face. Check out "Live at the Button Factory" on his Soundcloud page in the link above and you'll see what I mean! Paul likes to keep organic or live elements in his music, not being a fan of tight machine music - perhaps this is why his music has a distinctly human element. Anyway, we've asked him to play some of his more downbeat tunes, of which he has loads.
Gland & ConduitGland & Conduit are a duo consisting of
Herv and
Mel. Herv is a well known breakcore producer with shitloads of releases on a variety of labels around the world. The duo have only recently formed and make noisy music! Fragments of rhythm can be found lurking in the shadows of the grainy noise and found sounds - their set promises to be an interesting listening experience!
Last year when I was in Galway for the first time playing a gig in the moisture-laden city a mate of Ventolyn & Becotyde insisted I take a note of his not-so-easy-to-remember name. V&B has apparently only been producing for 2 years which is sickening to those of us at it for several years. His album "Audissect" (available for free
here) showcases the ease at which he has mastered the IDM sound; for Second Square to None however he will be playing a selection of more ambient tunes that you won't hear anywhere else!
Jimmy is another Galway guest who we're glad to have back at Second Square to None. He's a turntablist who mixes up the idea of DJ'ing and live performance in an entertaining fashion. In Galway Jimmy organises the annual
Community Skratch Games and has a similar ethos to Second Square to None regarding how gigs should be run. He'll be playing between and after the live acts in the back room.
And then we have the DJ's, some of whom you may remember destroying dancefloors (in the best possible way!) over the years at !kaboogie gigs and Mantua etc:
thatboytimthatboytim is one of the founding members of Belfast (and now Dublin)-based
Takeover Records, and can be found spinning tunes every Thursday in Hogan's on George's Street. Normally Tim plays party tunes but on the 28th will be selecting some choice dub, electronica and who knows what else!
redmonk is another DJ well known for bringing bass sounds to squeeze the air out of your lungs at !kaboogie and Wobble nights the past few years. He'll be playing some more chill stuff for us as that's kinda what we're going for!
ProzacProzac, AKA Riccardo Veglianti, is a man who consumes music of all types and in all formats, but who especially favours minimal and dub techno (the good type of Minimal! Not that derivative SHIT that we love to hate!) on vinyl. Ric has played on occasion for the now seemingly dormant
Stasis Collective, and Electic City, but not nearly enough for our liking - great DJ!
Mully
Mully is a veteran of the Irish drum 'n' bass / jungle scene and a collector of musics old and new. He'll be playing a selection of sounds from his archives from Krautrock to Warp style electronics and older Enotype ambience.
Gonna be gooooooood! And all for free! All we ask is that you come, the earlier the better, or you'll miss it all!
Confirmed to do live art on the Sunday are Barry Quinn and Joey Walker.
