It's like Deja-vu all over again. We've a weekend with Rush lined up for November 22nd & 23rd. The Thursday sees Rush play a special disco & italo set. If you were there last year, you'll know just how good this is. Classics and underground gems stand side-by-side for these very rare sets from the big man. The next night sees a change in focus and a different type of energy as DJ Rush and DJ Bold get ready to detonate the Tivoli as only they can as part of the Kne' Deep World Tour 2007.
It's fortunate the Tivoli has a high roof as DJ Rush - the 6' 6" Denis Rodman of techno will be shaking down the club and tearing up the decks alongside the cricket and hard techno-loving DJ Bold. DJ Rush [born Isaiah Major] is responsible for making some of the hardest, fastest, downright nastiest techno and house from his three homes in Chicago, London, and Berlin. His fanatical support here in Ireland is something he comments on every time and with heads flying in from the UK already for this rare double-show, this is going to be a full-on night for those who know.
Born in Chicago, Rush entered the clubbing world at a young age. It was at legendary Chicago clubs such as The Ringzone, Playground, The Candystore, and The Music Box that he developed a taste for electronic music. He soon began tinkering with equipment in his bedroom, releasing his first audio assault, "Knee' Deep," in '91 on the world-renowned Trax imprint. One year later, his second release ("Childs Play") opened the floodgates for him to travel Europe as a DJ, where his flamboyant style and outlandish dress sense gained him many followers. DJ Rush [Major Rush, Russian Roulette] has had releases through the years on heavyweight labels such as Dance Mania, Trax, Saber, Cosmic, Djax-Up-Beats, Force Inc, Relief, Mental Groove, Session, Terminal M, Predicaments, Jackstar not to mention his own imprints of Pro Jex and Kne' Deep. Classic techno and jacking anthems such as Get On Up, Robo' Trippin, Mother****ing Bass, Ooo La La, showcase the absolutely low down sleazy hard hitting twisted techno and house music that Rush has produced.
Alongside DJ Rush on the night will be DJ Bold who first cam e to note with a series of releases on the Adelaide label VAST. Having made a name for himself, he made the move to Berlin to make his techno fortune. Meeting up with Rush there gave Bold the opportunity to put out releases on Kne' Deep, Symbolism and High Octane.He subsequently started working on live shows with DJ Rush as 'The Unborn Twins' and Bold's mastery of the studio and the turntables has made him a regular at all the leading techno festivals across Europe including I Love Techno, Awakenings, and Love Parade.
EC resident on the night is Maynooth's finest export, Rian Ryan. Despite moving to a completely digital set-up, we're sure he's got enough tricks in his mental box to make it a lively non-email affair when he steps up to the Tivoli plate.
