CHOONAGE , a new fortnightly Electronic music night kicked off with a bleepin' successful bang last week and follows up with an absolute whopper lineup for installment 2 featuring Dublin duo extraordinaire LAKKER alongside local crew Miles Iwes and Welfare
deBurgo's / / ...22nd Dec
9pm - 1am / / €7 - €5 offer coming soon...
with VOID Bass Power in the sound department
LAKKER are Dublin bassed Ian McDonnell (also known severally as EOMAC) and Dara Smith. The duo have a long history working together, beginning in 2001, in a band called :undermine:. They formed LAKKER around the same time and began a long journey through harsh electronics, breakcore and noise.
These boys have been stretching and stirring the underground electronic scene and sound for years, known widely for eclectic sets that can jumpa round with little respect for conventional wisdom, leaving dancefloors often in a very sweaty state of speechlessness!
Their set at this years Jigs and Rigs Festival on Rathlin island is great evidence of these innovators live impact and can be checked here -

The LAKKER sound has been pushed further and further into the unknown, from hauntingly beautifuly melodies to elastic hip-hop breaks.
Their latest release SPIDER SILK (due out on a stunning white vinyl, complete with Dara’s screen-prints) is to Berlin’s much-respected Killekill label.
BAG IT!!
It is a solid release, affirmed by early festival airplay from no less than APHEX TWIN himself. This one’s gonna be big.

Miles Iwes
Miles has been in Ireland for a cupla years now fixing up dancefloors with his wide variety of styles,from Techno to Dubstep and Jungle to IDM and Ambient as well as keeping the gremlins away at his chillout area for several years at Life Festival
Anyone who has seen Miles play of late will have noted his dexterity in the field of scratching, tearing hte platter to almost any genre conceivable...
When it comes to "deep experimental ethno-ambient meditation" as Miles puts it himself,he be the man-
Expect Techno sounds and wonky noisiness before the main act....
