There is more than one battle in a war and it is far from over between Big Dish Go and Teknowarfare. After a dirty beat feast of a ruckus with Kanji Kenetic last January we are back for round two. It is shaping up to be a spectacular bass-off with enough bounce and grooves to cause a mayhem on the dancefloor.

Ben UFO is one of the few DJs in the UK to make a name for himself solely as a DJ, without having entered the world of production but when you see him on the decks it doesnt take long to see why ; the man has serious skills. Ben is also co-founder of Hessle Audio, one of the hottest new labels in electronic music today. With the label crossing boundaries between dubstep, techno and garage, Ben's own DJing reflects this ethos, gaining him rapidly rising reputation as a selector with both impeccable taste and airtight mixing skills. Establishing himself as one of the key taste-makers in UK underground music, Ben has been rewarded with a slot on the legendary Rinse FM. We repeat; the man has serious skills.

Altered Natives, real name Danny Yorke, has had an amazing year in the world of bass and house music and we are truely proud to have him play his debut Irish show for us. Just this month Dj Mag named his "Tenement Yard" album as their 2nd favourite album of 2010, only behind the genuis of Four Tet. This is what they had to say...

"Danny Yorke´s mutant house seemed beamed in from another dimension, such was our astonishment on hearing this perfect long player. Dark jungle vibes, roughneck bass warps and acid house strobes combine with a 4/4 beat to create a record of flawless, murkey majesty. Everyone from Martyn to Paul Woolford is taking notes."

Also on the night representing a snippet of the phenomenol local talent that is on offer these days in Ireland is Marcus Dunne.
