If this is not enough, we thought this lineup deserves a unique location. The Cocktail Bar above the Grecian Kebab House is a limited 100 people capacity venue on Gloucester Road. So come down and party with us!
Shane Linehan (Basic Grooves, Local Talk)
www.soundcloud.com/shane-linehan
Arriving on the scene in the mid 2000s, cutting his teeth spinning on Sub FM and running gigs in Cork and Limerick, where he earned his stripes playing support to some of the Ireland leading DJs, Shane Linehan has gone onto become one of Ireland foremost house music talents.
Over the years Shane has built a reputation as a true lover of the authentic house sound, taking care to build a record collection spanning many years and styles of house music. Shane learned his trade through the lost art of warming up, and has spun alongside some of house music's most respected names including Prosumer, Rob Mello, and Brawther. Today, he is known to play a variety of house sounds, from deep and dubbed out, to pacey and energetic.
As well as building a reputation as one of Corks most educated new- school house DJs, he has also honed his reputation as a much in demand producer. In his dedication to maintaining his own sound and style, Shane has stayed largely independent in releasing music. In 2011 he established Basic Grooves, a label where he could release music his own way and take utmost care with each release.
Despite being a fresh face in a hectic house scene, Shane has gained support from an array of heavyweight DJs and his records are played by Kerri Chandler, Jus- Ed, Jeremy Underground Paris, Brawther, Rob Mello, Jamie Jones, The Revenge, DJ Deep, Jimpster, and Milton Jackson amongst others.
Having previously worked at Imperial Records, Replay Record and Rooted Records Chris Farrell witnessed first hand the development of the current Bristol music scene - from the last days of jungle through dubstep, on to to the present day. In this time he has paid keen attention to the various strands that make up modern underground dance music.
Now established is his own shop, Idle Hands which grew out of his label established in 2009. Located in the heart of Bristol the shop is the last surviving'physical' dance music store in the city, and has gained a reputation for stocking the best in underground music.
The label itself has gone from strength to strength with appearances on the Boiler Room, at Fabric and making an entry into RA's best labels of 2011.
Farrell himself can be found DJing at various parties around town, plus some further afield. He also has a weekly radio show Tuesday nights, 11pm-1am (GMT+1) on Bristol station Passion Radio spinning the best in new, old and down right odd records.
Steadily and patiently rising into light is dmin a.k.a Adam Wickens.
Proudly Winchester and comfortably in Bristol, Adam is a knowledgeable veteran beyond his years, he dedicates much of his time to the listening, carefully drawing musical influences from Chicago to Berlin to respectably invest into his own, soulful, astral and progressive productions.
In what we can characterise as a truly impatient and disposable era that we now live in, dmin is a refreshing reminder that we can still build a path in music at our own pace.
