Electric City

10-02-2009, 10:48 AM

Two killer rocking Electric Shocks at Twisted Pepper with devastating sets from Steve Rachmad, The Mole, Speedy J & Heartthrob have combined to make this marriage of club & venue one of the best around. The next generation of Electric Shock mutates onwards and our next event on February 21st is a heavy-heavy-hard-hitting line-up with Kenny Larkin & Greg Wilson working the controls upstairs while the awesome Cassy returns after her minimal nation of a set Electric City back in July.

Upstairs, we have long-time Dublin favourite, Manchester's Greg Wilson - a legend from the days of yesteryear and today and still rocking out his personal edits and unique style of disco, electro & house - always rocking the floor. Playing after him is Detroit legend, Kenny Larkin - whether it's early releases on Plus 8 through to his seminal mid-90s albums on Warp and R&S up to the recent return to form on Peacefrog, Rush Hour and the stunning Planet E long player 'Keys, Strings, Tambourines' Larkin has never been afraid to mix it up and take his sound in a new Detroit tangent. Part of the 'Second Wave' of Detroit producers alongside Stacey Pullen & Carl Craig, Larkin is still cutting tracks and DJing worldwide and we're delighted to have another one of our heroes come play at Electric Shock.

Downstairs, we welcome Cassy aka Catherine Britton to make her Irish return at Electric Shock. Cassy was born in England and raised in Austria by a Caribbean father and an Austrian mother. She spent her childhood in Vienna and Lower Austria where she started to sing and study music at an early age. She performed her first step into the professional world of electronic music as a vocalist for Elin's aka Autorepeat's "Music Takes Me Higher" on Sabotage Records. A series of releases on labels such as Mental Groove, Gigolo, Dessous, Ostgut, Perlon and her own eponymous label. She moved to Berlin in 2003 and after a while gained her reputation as a House and Minimal Dj. She has become a resident DJ at Panorama bar and has also mixed the very first Panorama bar compilation. She has collaborated with artists as Dj Elin aka Autorepeat, Dave the Hustler, Steve Bug, Ricardo Villalobos, Luciano, Mathew Jonson and recently Swayzak. Her appearance back in July of last year was one of the standout DJ sets of the year for us and we're sure in the dark basement of The Twisted Pepper, the sound will feel right at home. Representing Electric Shock downstairs is Dan McElligott, one of Dublin's finest deep techno DJs who has played for us more times than we have probably ourselves.

All doors open at 11. Entry is e15 in advance with tickets available from www.tickets.ie and e18 on the door which is five euro per international guest - not even Ben Dunne could fault us on this one.... Jackie Skelly's is brutal anyway...allegedly.
