Electric Shock Xmas special comes to town where we match up arguably Ireland's finest producer right now, Donnacha Costello with one of the biggest names in electronic music, Speedy J. It's been a while since we had Speedy J play for us (Jan '06 - Statto Ed) but the Dutch master has been busy busy all that time. Getting up to the 4th installment of Collabs 4, his collaborative project & delivering one of the remixes of the year with his version of Syncom Data's 'Beyond the Stars', and live shows all across Europe. Speedy has also been deep at work in the studio putting together a new hybrid live/DJ show which will be featured at this Electric Shock. An electronic star with releases on Plus 8, Music Man, Warp, u-Ziq, Fax, Harthouse and most recently, Novamute, Speedy has proved himself with devastating releases though the years.
And to Donnacha Costello, well - he has rocked Electric City and Shock on several occasions whether it's a live or DJ set. His sharp combination of Chicago dynamics amidst a 'minimal' framework have worked to have his own releases and that of his Minimise.com label become standards amongst the likes of Villalobos, Magda, Troy Pierce, Ellen Allien, Richie Hawtin over the past few years. Most recently he has remixed Mark Broom's 'New Life' track and released 2 excellent Eps by Cornell on Minimise. He has overshadowed several high-profile international guests in the past and who knows, he may even do it again this night. Whatever the outcome, it's going to be a killer night of musique-non-stop with only one winner - you the attendee's !
Dan McElligott makes his Tivoli debut this night. One of Ireland's best DJ's. Dan never puts a beat wrong and his set with Eddie Brennan before Marc Houle was one of the best Mr.Houle has heard this year. Get down early and make your own mind up.

Seasons Greetings,
Our Electric Shock Xmas party sees us return to the Tivoli next Saturday for more festive frolics. Last year it was Alexander Robotnick and Hardfloor who tucked into our Christmas pudding just as Only Fools and Horses was about to start. This year we have the Sky Plus set as we bake a cake for Speedy J, Donnacha Costello and Eddie McElligott. As it's Christmas and Uncle Vincent & Paul have been very kind to us so far this yuletide we have 5 sets of double passes to hand down.
Which of these songs 'WAS NOT' a Top of the pops Christmas Number 1?
Wham - Last Christmas
The Pet Shop Boys - Always On My Mind
Cliff Richard - Mistletoe & Wine
Band Aid - Do They Know It's Christmas?
Answers to reach our sack [oh matron] by this Thursday .
Best of festive luck!
E Claus
More Seasonal Greetings.
Thanks for all the entries to our Christmas cracker. The correct answer was Wham's Last Christmas which was held off the top spot by Band Aid in 1986. Other notable Xmas number two's include The Fairytale of New York by Kristy MacColl and the Pogues which was pipped by those scumbags, those maggots, those cheap lousy faggots the Pet Shop Boys in 87 and All I Want For Christmas Is You by Mariah Carey which was thankfully held off top spot by those rascals from Walthamstow East 17 with their classic Stay Another Day and here it is in all it's glory http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x31...day-totp_music
It never turns out to be a white Xmas does it ? Don't let the disappointment get you down though as Electric Shock is here to round up a year of hard rocking weekend parties at the TBMC and latterly, Tivoli. Big thanks to all the guests who have played Electric Shock this year in chronological order: Rian Ryan, Green Velvet, Barry Donovan, I-F, Ellen Allien, Eddie Brennan, Roman Flugel, Johannes Heil, Dan McElligott, Brian Sanhaji, Chris Liebing, Dan Power, Decal, Alden Tyrell, Alexander Robotnick, DJ Hell, Traxx, Jay Galligan, Legowelt, Dj Bold, DJ Rush. It's been a blast and special thanks to all who have come out to dance at these parties through the year.
We've got one more to go this year and some special ones lined up for 2008. Join us for some Xmas cheer, killer music and the ideal way to set you up for The Pudding. Thanks for the support.
