Tonight in Hogans we’ve got Baz Hickey playing from 19.00-22.00 and Mark Flood looking after all things music from 22.oo-01.00.

If your out and about make sure to pop in and say hello.

Over the forthcomming weeks we have a great selection of powerfm dj’s including Ralph Hyland,  Joyous Funk, the Deceptikons, the Golden Maverick, Mike Black and Eoin Callanan  (doing a 6 hour set back to back), Hoot Radio, Dave Fields, Steph Power, Gwen de Vita, Cristina Piras to name but a few playing in Hogans as part of weekly MASS night, as well as a number of art and photography exhibitions.

Mrs. Box Deluxe recently asked me why we never go anywhere anymore. Actually her point was that we have never been anywhere ever. I mentioned the weekend in Kerry last summer but domestic travel counts for nothing apparently. I also suggested that due to her recent honourable discharge from the employment sector and my ruinous bank account our options were limited. Nonsense! she cried. Sure isn’t Michael O’Leary willing to fly us to London and back for less than 50 Euro each? We can’t bring any luggage but that won’t be a problem as we can’t afford accommodation anyway so this will be a day trip she said.

see who’s going here

COSMIC BOOGIE BIOGRAPHY
With the likes of Greg Wilson, Ashley Beedle and Laurent Garnier amongst his
growing legion of fans, the future looks very bright indeed for Cosmic Boogie
- the pseudonym of choice for 32 year-old Liverpudlian Stu Robinson and
much checked blog of the same name. Thanks to a string of acclaimed re-
edits and reworks, Cosmic Boogie is one of the rising names of the global
disco scene.
As a producer, Cosmic Boogie has released a number of singles on both the
super-hot Disco Deviance label and his own self-titled imprint, re-crafting
lesser known classics into slow-burning dance?oor bombs. His ?rst single,
featuring two deliciously cosmic re-rubs of tracks by The Undisputed Truth
and Charles Jackson, hit dance?oors in the spring of 2009. Since then, his
stock has continued to rise, thanks in no small part to a killer 12” on Disco
Deviance that included Greg Wilson’s “track of the year”. ‘Feels Good (You
Got The Love)’ – an inspired blend of Electra’s ‘Feels Good’ and Candi
Staton’s anthemic ‘You Got The Love’ – was one of the disco hits of ’09,
smashing up festivals and clubs across the globe. Cosmic Boogie’s third
double A-side, ‘The Users’/’Youngblood’, is to be released in April 2010.
On the back of the success of his productions, record label and blog, Cosmic
Boogie has become an in-demand DJ, with dates across the UK and Europe.
Over the past 12 months he has played headline slots in Warsaw, Dublin,
London, Newcastle, Brighton, Bristol, Manchester and, of course, hometown
Liverpool. Here, he is resident and promoter at the city’s acclaimed Archive
night. He also regularly DJs back-to-back with good friend Dicky Trisco
under the Disco Deviance moniker.
His DJ style re?ects his productions, combining slo-mo boogie, groove-laden
disco, original electro, nu-disco, house and more in a thrill-a-minute ride
that’ll move the head just as much as the feet. Adept at reading the situation
thanks to a decade-plus experience behind the decks, he prides himself on
getting a crowd moving – whether they’re into 100 BPM groovers or hands-
in-the-air disco bangers.
With more releases expected throughout 2010 and 2011, and the blog and
imprint growing from strength to strength, Cosmic Boogie is a name you’ll
be hearing a lot more about in coming months.

DJ Nelson Music Reviews for March 2010

Albums

Exclusive New Release – Gotan Project – Tango 3.0

Gotan Project fans start saving your pocket money as the trio have a new album due to be released in April! If you loved their first album (“La Revancha Del Tango”) as much as I did you will really love this as a new addition to your Gotan collection. The sound you can expect from Tango 3.0 is one similar to their original sound with less of a jazz influence. I personally I think this is their best work yet!

Highlights for me: La Gloria (Feat. Víctor Hugo Morales), Rayuela, Mil Millones and Panamericana

Gotan Project – Tango 3.0 out on XL RECORDINGS / ¡Ya Basta!
Ireland, the international hub for all great music first! :) : April 16, 2010

St Patrick or Magonus Saccatus Patricius (DJ name) did his best to convince the Irish of a better way of life!!

6-7.30 Paul Grant
7.30-9 Anto O Brien

SLEMISH is all things to all people so come along and get downstairs to dance your national holiday into oblivion!

*SLEMISH – tradition holds that Saint Patrick, enslaved as a youth, was brought to this area and tended herds on Slemish, Ballymena, County Antrim.

During this time he found God AND Power FM!
