Overmono
2023-10-06 07:00 - 23:00 | Vicar Street, 58-59 Thomas St, Dublin, Dublin, 8, Ireland
British electronic duo Overmono return to Dublin following the release of their highly anticipated debut album, out via XL Recordings last Friday. The album has received rave reviews such as;

“UK rave history is distilled to perfection” – The Guardian

On their debut album ‘Good Lies’, the pair retains all the hallmarks of the project so far, while unashamedly dialing up the ambition; the hooks here are sweeter, the beats harder.” – NME

“it wasn’t until they started making music together as Overmono that they became a sensation. When the duo made their Coachella debut last month, the energy they spent the past seven years building up was readily apparent.” – Stereogum

“Overmono are the UK’s next massive dance duo” – The Face Magazine

“Good Lies’ is setting aside Overmono from the rest.

The epitome of 2023 sound, the album breathes a continuously dynamic aura” – CLASH

“Epic emotional resonance, raw beats, a timeless combination” – DJ Mag

Lord Apex
2023-10-24 19:30 - 23:00 | Button Factory, Curved St, Temple Bar, Dublin, Dublin, D02 RD26, Ireland
Lord Apex returns to Dublin on Tuesday, October 24th at Button Factory. Tickets go on sale this Friday, June 2nd at 10 AM.

Lord Apex is a rare character, his musical knowledge a rabbit hole and that’s evident in the producers, musicians, artists, and DJs that he works with. He’s a student of the game, someone who has a rich opinion about anything he puts his ears to — it’s traits like these that will set him apart from his peers in the future. The influences bleed out from beyond the confines of the music itself, you hear tones of Madlib, J Dilla, and MF DOOM – arguably the 2012 Miami Heat of rapper-producers. And that’s a pretty solid benchmark to look toward. You don’t want to miss this.

Barry Can't Swim

BARRY CAN’T SWIM ANNOUNCES DEBUT ALBUM ‘WHEN WILL WE LAND?’ OUT 20TH OCTOBER ON NINJA TUNE / NEW SINGLE ‘WOMAN’ OUT NOW

Multi-faceted Scottish artist Barry Can’t Swim will release his debut album ‘When Will We Land?’ on Ninja Tune, out October 20th. His broadest and most diverse project yet, the 11-track project moves from deep house to jazz, from ambiance to the percussive charge of afrobeat. It’s all held together by his singular sense of purpose and that trademark vivacity; deftly finessed, it’s an album that works as a form of musical autobiography.

The incoming debut album is led by the new single ‘Woman’, a fantastic blend of digital production and organic musicianship. A warm bed of notes pirouettes around an emphatic vocal from Låpsley, resulting in a song that moves between the cavernous house of Moodymann, say, and the neo-psychedelic tonnes of shoegaze. “I sent it out,” he recalls, “Lapsley came back immediately with this unreal vocal. I chopped it up, re-arranged it… it’s one of those things that fell into place.”

‘Woman’ follows the emphatic success of the recent single ‘Sunsleeper’, which landed in the opening weeks of 2023. A dextrous and ambitious talent, Barry Can’t Swim embraces the energy of club music while also blending this with organic elements. “For me, I want it to have a musicality to it,” he says of his debut album. “I wanted it to have the energy of electronic music but also with a more organic live element. I feel like I’m more of a musician than anything else. I’m a producer but I like writing music on instruments.”

The Edinburgh-born musician caught attention with a series of releases in 2020, before signing to Ninja Tune imprint Technicolour for his sensational 2022 EP ‘More Content’. Billboard named him as one of their 10 Dance Artists To Watch, while single ‘Blackpool Boulevard’ was Radio 1 playlisted – veteran broadcaster Pete Tong loved it, while influential voices such as The Blessed Madonna and Annie Mac are huge fans.

Expanding on this early promise, Barry Can’t Swim doubles down for his debut album, producing a work that feels complex but intricately unified. Utilising afrobeat drum loops for the title track, he works with choral harmonies on ‘Always Get Through To You’, and samples seminal Brazilian group Trio Ternura on joyous album highlight ‘Dance Of The Crab’.

“You only get to make your debut album once,” he points out. “So I want to showcase all the elements of the things I enjoy and love in music up to this point.”

Barry Can’t Swim will also be heading out on a UK/EU live tour later this year, with stops in Dublin, Amsterdam, Berlin, Paris, Manchester, Liverpool. Bristol, London, Glasgow and Edinburgh.

Barry Can’t Swim announces headline live show at Vicar Street on March 15th

Just a few days after the release of Barry Can’t Swim’s long-awaited debut album ‘When Will We Land?’ – released Friday 20th October on Ninja Tune – Barry announces an impressive 2024 headline world tour. Kicking off at the start of February with stops across North America, before a string of UK and EU live dates including Vicar Street on Friday, March 15th.

‘When Will We Land?’ marks the Edinburgh-born artist’s broadest and most diverse project yet, the 11-track project moves from deep house to jazz, from ambiance to the percussive charge of afrobeat. It’s all held together by his singular sense of purpose and that trademark vivacity; deftly finessed, it’s an album that works as a form of musical autobiography.

The new album and today’s tour announcement arrive hot on the heels of a momentous few months for Barry with stand-out DJ sets at this year’s Glastonbury, an already lauded Boiler Room performance at FLY Open Air festival, a Mahogany session and high profile shows across the world (Amnesia in Ibiza alongside Kerri Chandler, Honey Dijon and Nina Kraviz). Barry also recently performed a stand-out set at Warehouse Project ‘Boiler Room Presents’ to a packed out room alongside Overmono, DJ EZ, Casisdead and Moodymann, played Portola festival to a huge crowd, played multiple sold-out headline shows and supported Ben Böhmer in New York, LA and Chicago.

The Edinburgh-born musician caught attention with a series of releases in 2020, before signing to Ninja Tune imprint Technicolour for his sensational 2022 EP ‘More Content’ (which has amassed over 20 million streams to date) and ‘Amor Fati’ (35 million to date). To add to this Billboard named him as one of their 10 Dance Artists To Watch, while influential voices such as The Blessed Madonna and Annie Mac are huge fans. More recently, his newest single “Always Get Through To You” was Clara Amfo’s Hottest Record.

‘When Will We Land?’ is out now on Ninja Tune.
