LIVE: Nightflight

Nightflight, which seems to me to be a sporadically appearing promoter in Dublin, has got its act together in a big way, with a run of great gigs in the Button Factory between now and that day in December beginning with a C. It's a minimal techno fest, indoor sunglasses at the ready:

This Fri, Nov 21: Marc Houle (M_nus)
Fri, Nov 28: Tobi Neumann (Cocoon)
Fri, Dec 12: Steve Bug (Poker Flat)

I've already mouthed off about Tobi Neumann being essential viewing. But I think he is probably the least essential of these three DJs. Houle, a regular on Hawtin's M_nus label, has produced some huge tracks in the last while, including Bay of Figs and On It. As for Steve Bug, anybody that was at Melt! knows what he is about. For anyone that wasn't there, check out the video at the end. Bug is the head of the much-revered Poker Flat record label, with the likes of Jesper Dahlback, Guido Schneider, Josh Wink, Martin Buttrich, Mattias Tanzmann, Sian and Trentmoller signed up. Impressive company to be keeping indeed. Between this and the last post announcing the arrival of Michael Mayer, Apparat, and Modeselektor, there is certainly no cause for complaint for the Dublin masses in the coming weeks.

  1. Again, I wish to re-iterate my previous comment. You Bastards. I hate Edinburgh.

  2. Steve Bug's Fabric mix is phenomenal. It's probably my favourite release in the series to date.
