Local Electronic Music Producer Night

Splinters · 13-04-2012 12:33pm

Cork is a fair oul journey for us Dubs for a night out. I still check this thread every time theres an update in case theres any sign of a Dublin night happening.

Stab*City · 14-04-2012 10:14am

Or a limerick one.

how big are the venues in cork & dublin just wondering what would be a suitable venue round here. I'd defo attend myself. Just as a spectator.

Laserface · 14-04-2012 5:59pm

small-ish with a stage is ideal.

not the corner of a pub, and not club size either.

we had them in the upstairs room in whelans dublin and currently in fred zeppelins cork. tried to get one going in limerick but hard to find interest.

any venue suggestions welcome lads..and i'll chase them up

I could see this going down a treat in Twisted Pepper on Abbey St in Dublin. Its a nice size and the venue is already used for a lot of electro, dubstep nights (mostly dj sets) so this would translate well with the regular crowd.

First post

This is a great idea! We're close to having a short live set ready and would be interested in the near future!

Laserface · 23-04-2012 2:31pm

@ Splinters cheers for that i will get on to the Twisted Pepper now to see..

@popmart plenty lined up in the near future.. where are you based?

Splinters · 25-04-2012 1:28pm

No problem at all, especially if it means one of these nights in Dublin some time soon

Popmart97 · 25-04-2012 2:21pm

We're based in Dublin. We've been working on this project for a few months now but we think its nearly good to go.

In terms of equipment, what is needed? We use a Macbook, Monome and an APC 40 - Am I to assume we don't need to bring anything else?

mordeith · 25-04-2012 3:10pm

This is something I'd be interested in but everything I produce is just on my laptop with a basic M-Audio Oxygen keyboard/controller so I'm not sure how this would come across 'live'. It'd really just be me pressing play on my DAW

. I could control the filters and effects with the Oxygen but is this really good enough for a live show?

Laserface · 25-04-2012 4:23pm

now we're getting deep lads

Mordeith, that there is an endless loop of an argument touching on digital v analogue, software v hardware, fingerkey v patterns, and my own personal favourite.. sampled loops v single hits ..

just play as live as you can.. most of the producers around the world, bigger names included, all now use laptops and controllers onstage and its accepted by the majority.

but if you are not comfortable with it.. go hardware

@ popmart.. yes you are correct. pa will be there and mixer so just bring your own equipment and ALL of your necessary cables, including outputs

Thanks for that Laserface.
I ask the question for fear of being derided onstage for the reasons you've just outlined :eek:. I guess I should experiment to see just how live I can make it with the equipment I have. If I get something together that I'd be happy with then it'd be a Cork gig I'd be aiming for (not sure if I'd get the time with two kids at home though!)

Wow.this is brilliant!new to Ireland so lemme know when ya have a date for Dublin.might drop a set in the future

Laserface · 14-07-2012 6:26pm

For anyone who missed this a few months ago..
here is our Ctrl-Alt-Delete compilation Vol.2
https://dl.dropbox.com/u/15253011/Ctrl-Alt-Delete%20Vol.2.zip
(free download)
17 tracks from irish producers

@dublin people..
I contacted the aforementioned venue in dublin but no luck.
Anymore dublin venue suggestions welcome.. but being honest lads.. there is very little interest in dublin in this sort of thing.. besides from a few producers like yourselves.. which is why it started in cork in the first place.

Seomra Spraoi might be worth a look if it's something small

seomraspraoievents(at)gmail(dot)com

Done punk gigs there before. Am sure they wouldn't have a problem considering some electronic.

Popmart97 · 16-07-2012 11:01am

Its amazing there is not more interest in Dublin

Have you tried the Sweeney Mongrel? Dont Lunar Disko have a night there once (or twice) a month?

I wouldn't mind taking a trip to Cork at the end of the month to check it out

Popmart97 · 27-07-2012 10:52am

Anybody at the Cork gig last night?

Laserface · 07-09-2012 1:41pm

next gig... Thursday sept 13th.. Cork

theaaao · 11-09-2012 1:47pm

so glad I found ths thread! This has just motivated me to seriously produce some material. Going to try make thursdays session too!:D

PS also kudos to the cork people for launching this! Cant believe yere struggling to do something smilar in Dublin!

Laserface · 12-09-2012 2:22pm

@theaaao.. really glad to hear that.. hopefully we can get you on the bill soon.

in regard to the dublin struggle... the main issue there is I live in cork. so to put on one in dublin i'd need to get a small budget.. preferably from the venue. the acts themselves should get a fee plus my petrol expense.
all these factors combined just make it awkward for me.. but not impossible.

we had 2 gigs in dublin last year (upstairs @ whelans) and the support was great. but i cannot afford to do more at the moment.
i have tried organising more in other venues..but they don't seem interested unless we have a guy from London that pushes the play button "on time" on other peoples music

so as it stands lads.. ye'll have to get your arses down to cork.. its a 2.5 hour journey these days. hope to see some of you tomorrow night.
