10 this week. Mad. First band I ever interviewed, with my pal Austin for our student radio show in Galway, the year before I think. Had no idea what I was doing. Will never forget the feeling of hearing live for the first time later that night. Still rips. gillaband.bandcamp.com/album/holdin...

I’ll be on NTS channel 2 on Wednesday (24th Sept) at 10 AM with a mix for its Roots series. An hour-long journey into Ireland’s experimental undergrowth. Subterranean sean-nós, ambient trad excursions, dream pop, and more, all anchored on ideas of landscape and lore Would love it if you tuned in

sometimes the side chick ain't even a chick… it's ambient and experimental music from the gorgeous and proud nation of Ireland

Recognise 091: Sister Zo 🔊 Alongside an exhilarating two-hour mix recorded live at London’s UNFOLD, New York-based DJ, producer and writer Sister Zo speaks to Michael McKinney about her journey of continual self-discovery djmag.com/features/rec...

“In a work of patient soundscaping, you’ll hear metallic drones and static fuzz mimic the comings and goings of gusts; you’ll notice birds and bleating sheep fade in and out the mix as the swish, rattle and patter of rain incrementally increases.” Eoin Murray on A Storm and its Aftermath.

Oh wow feeo.bandcamp.com/album/goodness

Just wanna play Silksong and listen to the James k record for the rest of the year tbh

The Anois, Os Ard New Irish Music round-up is back! Trying and quite possibly failing to untangle knots of sound, folklore and the Irish landscape, plus tonnes of other stuff. Ambient, shoegaze, club tracks, field recordings, heavy psychedelia. All sorts. open.substack.com/pub/anoisosa...

Recognise 90: Valesuchi 🔊 With a mix of warehouse-ready techno and percussive curveballs, the Rio De Janeiro-based Chilean DJ lights up the Recognise series, and speaks to April Clare Welsh about the journey that's led to her new LP, ‘Futuro Cercano’

RIP Slarta John. What an absolute scorcher of a tune. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sybu...

Summer New Irish Music round-up tomorrow. If someone could show me how to adhere to a self-imposed word count that’d be great thanks ffs

For a thing: any music journos/DJs on here really into Q Lazzarus?

On the one hand, running your own alternative Irish music Substack without an editor is very liberating and allows for lots of fun creative decisions. On the other hand, you might start what’s meant to be a 150 word capsule review of an experimental electronic album with something like this.

Have had this song by the Senegalese musician Mor Thiam on my hard drive for years. Come back to it quite a bit. Really great stuff. Today I learned he's Akon's dad? www.youtube.com/watch?v=ctCD...

Björk's ‘Post' is 30 🌸 Released on 13th June 1995, the Icelandic art pop visionary drew from a dizzying array of sounds and styles, and from the energy of London’s club culture, to create an album that cemented her place in the musical firmament ✍️ @bencardew.bsky.social djmag.com/features/how...

Turned 32 and immediately got REALLY into The Sea and Cake

If you hate Greta Thunberg it’s because she, unlike you, refuses to look away. It’s because she’s doing what we all should be, actually. She’s holding up a mirror to our hypocrisy, complicity and complacency. You don’t actually hate her. You hate yourself.

An honour to have Confirmation Getup included in this month's Anois Os Ard - it's always a great read and we're really in some fine company this month - thanks to @eoin-murray.bsky.social for the sterling work - check it out here: anoisosard.substack.com/p/new-irish-...

#C4News find the girl escaping the fire in the burning classroom after an Israeli strike "I walked through the fire all by myself" "The rubble fell on them (her siblings)" "I want to see my sisters, to be with them, but they're dead" "I want to be with them"

Next up in the #MusictoReadFlannO’Brienby collection is Ithaca by lullahush. The excellent interview by @eoin-murray.bsky.social reveals that ‘snippets of James Joyce’s Ulysses and Flann O’Brien’s At-Swim Two Birds appear and disappear’ across the album. 10/10 Flann engagement by Eoin and lullahush

It is a beautiful day to listen to house music soundcloud.com/dimensionsfe...

Had a nice time chatting to Athens-based Dubliner lullahush about his new album, which really pulls off that trick of merging trad with electronic music without sounding corny. Covering everything from Flann O'Brien and Gilla Band to Wah Wah Wino. Great mix too! open.substack.com/pub/anoisosa...

The Quietus Mk II is a year old this week, and to mark this we're running a sale to offer over a third off our top tier subscriptions. My life is 100% less stressful thanks to the new site, but tQ will die without subscribers (as will most of the media 1/4) thequietus.com/news/the-qui...

"I’d implore you to spend some real time with this record. It’s a special one." @eoin-murray.bsky.social on Lullahush's brilliant new record Great roundup, as usual, of music from the past month: substack.com/inbox/post/1...

I wrote this about Irish history some months ago but the same sentiment remains true in the British case. Immigrants were an integral part of the story in any moment or movement from the British past that I have researched. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Big day for pianos over here. New Duval Timothy and Eliana Glass records working wonders
