Nightflight takes over the two floors of the Twisted Pepper on Saturday October 22nd to bring you a mouth watering double bill in the shape of modern disco hero Daniel Wang and Barcelona’s house music prodigy, John Talabot.
First up is Daniel Wang. All told, this will be his 8th time playing for the Nightflight collective in Dublin. His enthusiasm and love for music is infectious to the extreme. His antics behind the turntables are as much a part of his charm as the blinding music he plays. There is nothing quite like a DJ set from Daniel Wang.
Many will know Daniel as a great disco DJ, but he started out as a budding producer and record label owner back in New York in the early 90s. In fact he is probably one of the most influential electronic music producers of the past 20 years. His ahead of their time 90s productions inspired the likes of Morgan Geist, Lindstrom, DFA and countless other electronic music producers to pursue their own visions of leftfield disco music.
Although relatively quiet on the production front since his relocation to Berlin, according to a recent FACT interview, he is back in the studio. So here is hoping we will have some new music from Mr. Wang in the very near future.
In the meantime, you can catch him in the Twisted Pepper as he blasts through his collection of euro-disco, cosmic boogie, Garage and Loft classics, and vintage house and electro - smiling, clapping and singing along to the music as he goes.
Also on the bill is new kid on the block, John Talabot. Talabot is a relatively new name on the house music circuit, first conceived by Barcelona born Oriol Riverola Soto back in 2008. However, a couple of stand out productions and remixes over the last two years have made people sit up and take notice of the Catalan native.
The stand out Talabot productions would have to be his debut smasher ‘Sunshine’, his EP on Permanent Vacation, ‘Matilda’s Dream’ and his EP ‘Families for hip UK label, Young Turks, home to the XX. One to watch out for is his debut LP which is due out on Permanent Vacation very shortly, which will feature collaborations with Delorean and Pional among others.
While no slouch on remixing either, this could be what has brought his name to the attention of most, with blistering remixes of tracks for Indie cross over acts like, locals Delorean, Glasser, The XX and Teengirl Fantasy.
Talabot has also built a name as a DJ of some repute, securing many festival slots in 2011, perhaps the pick of the bunch was headlining the Pitchfork stage in his home town at Primavera Sound in May. He also wowed the crowd at this years Electric Picnic on the Saturday night in the Body and Soul area, playing loops live and layering records perfectly over one another.
