Sunil Sharpe!! The Irish Prince Of Techno???

[Davin]

Good Day all!! I recently went to see a dj called sunil sharpe, which alot of you might know from these forum's, however I had never ever seen sunil before but what I saw and heard on the night for me was THE best techno performance all round - from tunes to just sheer energy created this guy is shit hot at what he does and was HONESTLY better than any foreign techno Dj I had ever seen in this country!!!!! I self admittedly was taught a lesson on thursday night as were all the clubbers who were lucky enough to be there!So, I have to ask and answer a question - IS SUNIL THE PRINCE OF TECHNO IN IRELAND??? **** YEAH!! And I am slowly counting down the days until I can be taught another lesson!!!! - Davin

lethal DJ nontheless, i think its the old school earfones!

[Sunil]

Oh shit, I feel really embarassed now :blush:

That "Dublin's Prince of techno" tag that Giles and Simon gave me seems to have stuck as well :blush: :) haha..

Well thanks a lot Davin, glad you enjoyed that, so did I ;)

Y'know as a dj I don't go shouting the odds around the place about myself as I'm not a big self promotionist and don't maybe see DJing as being so important sometimes, but I am happy when someone catches me play who mightn't have seen me before.

One thing that's put me off gigging as much in Dublin over the last while was the lack of suitable venues, just seemed kinda pointless in many ways, compared to how it was only a short space of time ago. Unfortunately some of the richer, swankier venues have begun to emphatically rule the roost, as any of the half way decent spots in Dublin aren't available anymore.

I did have a cool feeling after that gig the other night, as it seemed like there was a whole new bunch/new generation of heads that were out and going for it. There's a bit more excitement and ambition in the air right now with lots people planning gigs and a few new venues popping up, I think this year's looking promising already.

Anyway, again :blush:

i think its the old school earfones!

hehe. Yeah, as cool and old skool as they look, the DT-100s are not the best kind of headphones for DJing with. Used them out for a long time but eventually realised that they are not best suited for the job. Great headphones though :)

Its the makaton t-shirts not the headphones.

It might seem a bit far fetched, but i cant stress enough how good this set was!!!! this is my 2nd post on this topic and y'all might be thinkin get the **** over it, but you had to be there to understand, this was like no other set I had heard and seen!! Raw, dirty,and, tough are just a few words that come to mind and thats just the tune selection, when I talk about technique ....................the ONLY word that comes to mind is COMPLETE!!!!! I know sunil and I have no bias in this topic, but i cannot stress this enough................the guy just rocked the place,left everyone listening in awe!!Like I said I had never seen him b4 but my god, I was taught a lesson!!and once again I am counting down the days until he plays next!! The prince of techno!! A worthy title for a dj who, for me was just amazing and memorable!!
If you happen to read this again Sunil, at first I thought come on THE PRINCE OF TECHNO............as you could imagine!!!! but **** me that is a title I can only say is thoroughly deserved!! your newest and biggest Fan Davin!!!!

Maybe you should be a bit more vocal tho, you've definitely got the respect and the talent so why not.

I truely believe that if we want to make a revival of the scene in dublin and in other places we need to use the powerfulness of a dj performance as its catalyst. That doesnt mean creaming ourselves when the big names come over and then not getting the end product in performance level, but instead using the homegrown talent which there is an abundance of and create some energy in night clubs and start having fun again.

Attitudes are changing tho and its nights like thursday that help change them more and put life back into things.
