BUMP! Muzik Festival is a two day camping event embracing the best that Irish electronic music has to offer.

With a grassroots ethos, BUMP! gathers the best of the underground music scene from the west coast and in 2010 hosted over 600 festival goers, musicians and performers. While 2011 will be that little bit bigger, we are striving to hold onto the intimate nature of this unique gathering.

By mining local talent BUMP! is a springboard for acts emerging from a vibrant experimental scene. This hunting and gathering for new sounds and artists continues all throughout the year, with the myriad of independent parties and promoters, showcasing their work at BUMP!

Represented last year were Fried Egg, Roots Factory, Cheebah, Micronite, DubbleBass, Hsuan Records, Antiqua Recordings, WTF is tech house, Filthy Dubstep Bastards and Subtle Audio, Limerick’s venerated drum n bass label. Crowd’s delighted in performances from West Coast Scratch impresario Deviant + Naive Ted of Community Scratch Games alongside crews from Dublin and Cork by way of Surge, Dub Culture Ireland and Electric Underground.

Rockwell, Marcus Intalex, Calibre, Fran Hartnett, Bearweasel and Luka Baumann topped the bill for BUMP! 2010. To foster and celebrate local sounds, major acts are purposely kept to a minimum and are chosen to reflect the most engaging aspects of contemporary electronica with Hot Press dubbing BUMP! 2010 as “the best leftfield festival of the summer.”

Warming up for BUMP! Muzik Festival 2011 which takes place on Saturday and Sunday July 23rd & 24th, we have already hosted Loops Haunt, Sigha, Alix Perez, Fran Hartnett, Goth Trad and Marcus Intalex as well as many ‘private’ parties that started early and ran til the last dancer left the floor.

BUMP! is a festival left of the mainstream, fuelled by and sourced from, a culture that is young, engaged and evolving. Come Join us for a weekend in the country that will set off your summer.
