[ Sounds of a Tribe ]

You may remember a couple of months back I spoke about a documentary I worked on premiering at the Galway Film Fleadh: http://elektrobankmusic.blogspot.de/2013/07/sounds-of-tribe.html 

Well it's finally available online to watch. I'm enjoying all the positive response so far as I'm in bed on my day off ferociously sick. Boo. Anyway, enjoy, and do let me know what you thought of it via. comment or on my Facebook Page. :)

[ Label Spotlight ]


Gone are the days of labels they said. Not. Take a walk into any record shop. Unless you know your labels, you're going to be digging for awhile. These days, if you're attached to a label, that means you share their musical sound, and quality. I have to admit having only began my record collection this year, That I did find myself a little lost digging through all the 001's,2's,43's etc. but the sense develops quickly and now I'd like to mention a couple of small labels that I have been following recently.

[[ Eyesix EP - Eyesix ]]


So you may or may not have already heard about Ireland's very own Eye, Six that is, but you may know him better as none other than Roscommon's controversial TD, Luke Ming Flanagan, and the newest addition to the Sparkwood Records family. Who has been exercising his right over the last few months to make amazing music.

The new EP, his first official release, features five tracks of the downtempo/lo-fi/analog/synthy persuasion that are reminiscent of the ever-illusive Boards of Canada. I've heard a lot of first EP's and quite frankly this is the most impressive bar none. Obviously all that gange has done Ming good!

[[ Sounds of a Tribe ]]


So tomorrow is a very exciting day for myself and my friend and former classmate, Daniel Coogan. Our short documentary, 'Sounds of a Tribe' is premiering at the Galway Film Fleadh, in the Way Out West Section. If you so happen to be at a loss for something to do then present yourself at the Town Hall Theatre at 10am and pop in for a look. There's plenty of other docs being shown, including one from another classmate of ours, Kieran McHugh.

[ BEAT THE HOUSE DOWN! Pres. The Ladies Guide to House & Techno. April.6.2013 ]


I help run a once-monthly night in Galway, Beat The House Down. Last Saturday (April 6th) we put on an all girl line-up, featuring Kelly 303, Lisa M. Wright, Myself and Karey Mc Hugh of S2K. The night couldn't have gone any better if i'm honest, I like to think we definitely proved to a few non-believers that there lot of talented female DJs out there too. We even had Galway local, 'Bongo Brian' playing alongside for some of our sets.. which actually sounded a lot better than you might think. I've uploaded my set to soundcloud so you can have a listen here;
Some photos as well courtesy of the lovely Karey Mc Hugh who provided the CDJ 2000's on which we played. :)
