If you’re going to be a DJ when you grow up then you better be a producer too. Nowadays it goes hand in hand, the duality of the role is essential for those who wish to make it to the top. One such Irish DJ who seems to have all eyes watching him is Lorcan Mak. Mentioned previously we have been keeping a close eye on this talent. Born in 1989, yes you read that correctly 1989!!! He is taking the electronic music world into the grip of his hands.

The Unabombers
It was the summer of 1995 when The Unabombers first detonated their underground bomb, The Electric Chair, in a sweaty basement below the pavements of Manchester. In the decade since its become the worst kept secret in the world of clubbing. A mystic brew of house, disco, hip-hop, broken beat, Latin, R&B, techno and northern sulphuric soul. The heart of Mancunia, a fabled land where everyone parties as one – strangers and soul mates, straights and gays, north and south, students and scallies. Anyone can open a club. Not everyone can open hearts and minds.

The chair outgrew its original home and moved onto a bigger basement club, The Music Box, but somehow the tricky alchemists Luke and Justin Unabomber retained the chemistry and the vibe. Over the years, Ive had the time of my life with the best bunch of friends there, and woken up not being able to remember a thing. Ive also danced all night on my own and remembered every minute.

Ive seen clubbing legends like Joe Claussell, Laurent Garnier and Francois Kevorkian blown away by the energy and the soul of the club. Joe was almost evangelical afterwards, returning to NYC enthusing about the power and the beauty of the spiritual energy that was at that party.

This is a club to hold close to your heart. A club without a membership, but a club where you can belong. A club to treasure. A club I will tell my grandchildren about. A club I should have told my grandparents about. A club which has changed lives. A club thats still changing lives. A club where the weak become heroes and everybody feels love.

Tune into powerfm this Saturday the 21st at midnight to listen to  a one hour mix from Kevin Gorman.

The only relief from his Club Foot is clubbing.
In the year 2020 special red ear phone are the path to escapism through dance and music for this otherwise suffering man.
