Tracklist:

SSTN associates A4 Sounds are putting on a fundraiser gig in The Cavern (The Good Bits, 1 Store St., Dublin 1) on Saturday 24th July. The art group have been asked to fill an empty shop unit in Tuam Shopping Center, Tuam, Co. Galway as part of the Earwig! Tuam Arts Festival in August. Being an artist-run collective, and being that most of the members are forever broke, they are exchanging techno for cash!

Proceeds will go towards making the show something to remember for all at the festival, and the line up promises to deliver heavy and in places off-kilter styles of the people's number one* party music: techno.

Ex-pats Ronan Dunne, The Prunisher and Rory St. John will be in town on the night to lend some pre-Rathlin wonk, and will be aided and abetted by Xim (one half of new kids on the block Digger), !kaboogie agitator Redmonk and that Ed Devane lad.


*analysis of widespread youth culture trends in relation to interaction with music (in the form of pie charts, PowerPoint presentations and laser pointers) was not used in the construction of that sentence

A few weeks back on the Strings Series we featured Colin Boylan, who contributed a real beauty of a piece. He has a new project on the go called Sunburnt Jets who have just released a free two-track EP of low-fi pop. Check it out now on Bandcamp.


  
  
  

Ed Devane's contribution to Mantis Radio now available for download here.

Ed Devane is a Dublin-based artist primarily working with sound. As a producer he is known for releases on a variety of electronic labels, while most recently he released his debut album Molten Membrane (on Mantrap Recordings) – a daring trip through ambient, hip hop tempo melancholy, dub, industrial and into the fiercer chest-shaking attacks that have become his trademark. His interest in sound design has in recent years led him to build his own instruments, including a homemade zither, which was used throughout the recording of Molten Membrane. When not making music Ed also helps in the running of Second Square to None (events, label, blog, audiovisuals)

Delighted to hear Cignol is ready to release his new album, will be quality stuff.

One of the few acts to play twice for us at SSTN, check out these livesets for a reminder of why you want to go to this gig and get the album:
