Anyway, enough of the ego-massaging bullshit. Where do we like to go is what you want to hear, right?
The Funnel Bar is the new spiritual S@E home. Granted, we have actually only been there for one club night and thats the club run by the wonderful people at Ultramack Productions called Phunk City every Friday night. Other clubs in the venue are Independence, run by several Dublin DJs from Power FM including one of our favourites, the Droid, whose show you can catch on Saturday nights after midnight. Influx run a club on Saturday nights, which features home DJs like Johnny Moy and Glen Brady, and also other DJs from Big Beat and Hip Hop labels such as Mo'Wax, Wall Of Sound and Skint. Not really our cup of tea.
But our cup of tea is defintely Phunk City, its one of the best things to come around in ages. Ultramack have ran gigs before under the monicker of Sensoria, having brought people like Alx Patterson, Autechre, and Eat Static over in the past. In recent times they've brought over people like Autechre and Plaid from the Warp Records label in England, and other ambient/leftfield stalwarts such as u-ziq and Luke Vibert.
You're well advised to go there while its still not too packed and full of wankers which seems to happen to Dublin clubs once they get a bit of press.. and dammit, we're probably contributing to the downfall by writing about it on our web page but Phunk City is such a good club we couldnt possibly leave it out..
