R.S.A.G. aka Jeremy Hickey is a multi-instrumentalist who records, performs and produces all his own material. His debut Double Album 'Organic Sampler' has just been released on Psychonavigation Records. The record has been getting rave comments from the Irish media. His recent live shows have been described as ' Like a man with ADD that makes him bang drums incessantly. A total pleasure to the ears'. His album was also recently chosen as album of the week by the renowned music store 'Road Records'. His live performance at Whelans will be the perfect ending to the label's showcase. Disco shoes at the ready folks!!


Roger Doyle is Ireland's Godfather of electro-acoustic music. Roger Doyle was born in Dublin and studied composition on scholarships at the Royal Irish Academy of Music, the Institute of Sonology at the University of Utrecht and the Finnish Radio Experimental Music Studio. He was recently commissioned by RTÉ for a new work, Adolf Gebler, clarinettist, for symphony orchestra and pre-recorded acted scenes. The recorded piece will be released by the Psychonavigation label early next year under the name 'Cool Steel Army'.
For his live performance Roger will be joined on stage by singer Aengus O'Maolain who will provide accompanying vocals to Doyle's trademark electro-acoustic sound. One not to be missed.


Ciaran Byrne is an Irish producer who started off as many aspiring bleep warriors do, constructing scruffy appregiated synth runs over drum parts that are so heavily crowded that the sequencer starts to smoke.But since then a lot has changed. After sending a two track demo to Psychonavigation records in 2004, Dublin's small, but conscientious underground sat up and took notice. Influenced heavily by artists such as Arovane and Tape loop chieftans Boards Of Canada, Ciaran blends absorbing, celestial melodies with unyielding drum patterns and basslines to induce an effect that is best described as triumphant. Ciaran has released two albums for the Psychonavigation label 'Galtrim' & 'Nine lives Causeway'. Both longplayers have been gathering rave reviews from the likes of grand nubian, Mixmaster Morris and Irish synth pioneer, Roger Doyle.


In 2000 Mick Chillage had most of the gear he needed to create the kind of music he wanted, so in the same year he released a compilation called 'Various Projects' under the name Mick Chillage. The CD was a very limited CDR which was poorly mastered from minidisc and was only available in a local infamous local independent music store called Big Brother records. Many other limited releases followed and in 2005 Mick started performing some live sets, the most memorable being at Electricity, Dublin's premier techno & electro club night which has hosted the finest techno producers & djs like Speedy J, Laurent Garnier, Ritchie Hawtin etc. 2007 saw the release of his first EP "Soundescapes" on Herb recordings, a digital release which has been available from June through September & featured various strains of electronica recorded between 1999 to 2006. Mick will be releasing his debut album on Psychonavigation in 2009.


Seán Quinn is an electronic musician / composer / producer who grew up listening to the music of Kraftwerk, John Foxx, Tangerine Dream, Brian Eno, La Düsseldorf. He is the only Irish person ever to be signed to the legendary ambient label E.G. Records whose roster included Brian Eno, Robert Fripp, Harold Budd etc., Has worked with producer & System 7 mainman Steve Hillage. He has also worked with the Penguin Cafe Orchestra & Language recording artist TAO from Japan. "Skylines" his first solo release began life when E.G. Records asked him to record an ambient album for their Editions EG imprint. Unfortunately the label is now dormant but he went ahead and finished the record which is due for release in February 2005 on Psychonavigation. The tracks "Skyline" & "Loop Thereof" are being used as the soundtrack to the documentary "Identity" on the life of Nelson Mandela by South African film maker Johan Allers which is currently being edited and is due to be screened in several countries (including Holland) in Spring 2005. Sean is currently working on his second album which is due out on Psychonavigation in 2009.


DJ. Keith Downey : Psychonavigation Record's boss will be taking care of the Djing duties in between the live acts. Expect to hear traces of Ambient - Electronica - Folk during Keith's set
