Funky House Venues

Stephen P

I haven't been out in the club scene in Dublin for a while now, is Funky House still big? What venues in Dublin play Funky House only, does anyone know??

Cheers!!

I'm no expert but The Metropolitan on friday nights maybe?

the 1210 lads down at the legal eagle on saturdays do a great funky house night! best housey vibes in dublin if youre into that sort of thing...

[i'm not - but i'll happily go to a house night once in a blue moon... more of a deep dad-house man myself though...]

And tonight's gig is going towards Tsunami relief with a few different teams of DJs down there.

12ten @ The Legal Eagle on Saturdays is a great night! It's what got me into Funky House in the first place.... Bodytonic @ Wax on Fridays is also a savage night... Deadly crowd and great tunes!

errrr... im no expert on house, but stuff like dub tribe soundsystem on naked music, the sort of stuff miguel migs would play, the sort of stuff pete heller and terry farley championed before pete went all proggy and sh1te..... fluffy house with loads of bongos and little bits of jazzy melodies, slower than "funky house" --- if you ever see a copy of the pete heller and terry farley "late night sessions 3" mix on ministry of sound pick it up its lovely. wouldnt really go out of my way to go to a house or a techno night but a well crafted house set is nice barbecue music that doesnt make your neighbours call the cops, unlike some of the [drum and bass] stuff i'd play for instance....

Im not really into todays dance music as most of it is rubbish but i am partial to a bit of funky house or some breakbeat and this 12 Ten nite sounds good so on one of my 3/4 clubbing nites out this year i reckon ill check this place out.....

Certainly comes with my recommendation. The music is very good and the crowd is top notch. Old Skool night next Saturday i believe which should be interesting.

You took the words right out of my mouth. I'm more of a house man and Farley and Heller were always my favourite producers. Releasing many a top house tune under the guises of Fire Island, then Heller & Farley and in the latter years Roach Motel.

Unfotunatley I never got to see them live as a duo but I did see Pete Heller play in the Red Box about 2 years ago and I was well shocked. I wasn't "that" bad but it definitely wasn't what I had come accustomed too.

However, they always did have a heavy electro based side to them with the releases under the alias Roach Motel being the fiercest and Fire Island releases being more in the vein of classic US House.

That's a tsunami of a generalisation there, there's lots of good electronic music being released in this day and age, you just have to seek it out.

I sometimes start off the night with some acid/weird/glitchy house whenever I'm playing in the Pod (usually one Saturday a month at the Pogo night that Bodytonic run there), here's a house mix I did just before Christmas. And here's the tracklist:

1) Donnacha Costello - Backache (D1 Recordings)
2) Horror Inc. - Siamese Twins [Mike Shannon's Incision Mix] (Revolver)
3) Process - Boll [extended version] (Traum Schallplatten)
4) Duplex 100 - Extrapoliert (Initial Cuts)
5) M.I.A. - Let Your Heart (Sub Static)
6) Bucci / Pink Elln - Mavis 350 [Mike Shannon Remix] (Cynosure)
7) Misc. - People Won't Blame (Sender Records)
8) Wink - 516 Acid [Steve Bug's All Discrete Tub Mix] (Ovum Recordings)
9) Donnacha Costello - Rubine Red [side b] (Minimise)
10) The Rip Off Artist - Oh Baby Gun (Platinum Projects)
11) Five Green Circle - Scream (Traum Schallplatten)
12) Copacabannark - Garden Parade [Dandy Jack's Senti-Meta Mix] (Perlon)
13) Booka Shade - Up (Get Physical)
14) Modeler - Getts Down (Dubsided)
15) Analog Fingerprints - Meta Tool [Pigna 2004 Version] (Final Frontier)
16) Louis Digital - Insurgency Soul (Arcola)
17) Denis Rusnak - Do You? (Cocoon)

I don't really like the type of house they play in 12ten but I've got weird taste, they usually get a good crowd down there so they must be doing something right. Bodytonic run a house club in Wax on Fridays that seems to be very popular also.

saw pete heller at the kitchen years ago and he blew my mind! mind you, hard to lay a set like that in as big a place as the red box... deep house just sounds better with a small venue.

right, enough of this house talk! i'm off to lash on some techstep!
