last week was fun and ruairi's pictures prove it ;-)
joe fox (first of SIX new DJs to play short sets every week for six weeks!) rocked it and everyone seemed sillier than normal.
more of the same this week please :-)
GUESTLIST NOW OPEN - fill in the wee form on this page - just ask for yourself please, no plus ones - and why nat comment on this blog to help yr chances!
you'll get an email by tomorrow 5pm if you're definitely on the list.
this weeks DJ making his sketchy debut is another regular at the club - william neill. he's kindly agreed to upload three tunes for you to check out which might give us an idea of what he has in store for us tomorrow night...over to you william....
Chiddy Bang - Day n Nite ft Kid Cudi
'Definitely not a peak time song at all but since their version of 'MGMT - Kids' was featured on this very blog i've been really into Chiddy Bang. It’s definitely worth trying to find their Kids rework!'
Hot Chip - Ready For The Floor (Soulwax Dub)
'First time i played this out in a club the other DJs where crowding round my laptop with their phones out writing down what it was and a couple of people in the crowd asked who remixed it... i sort
of expected everyone to know it but apparently not, and i love it!'
Katy Perry – Waking Up In Vegas (Calvin Harris remix)
'A cool electro remix of an already good pop song, bringing together two of the biggest names in popular music, something for everyone here. Calvin also played an epic set at Sketchy not so long ago…'
thanks to william for those. don't forget, if you know anyone in dublin who'd like to go to our sister club tonight (or any wednesday) just email me - rigsy@skecthyclub.com - for guestlist. as many names as you like.
that'll do...
rigsy
yeo
coupla things before we get to the guestlist & tunes:
we're looking for a coupla people who are going to be living in halls of residence next year and have been to sketchy....for some paid promo work.
if you fit the description or you know someone who does, please let me know - rigsy@sketchyclub.com
second - tonight, myself and my mate stephen (who i am currently attempting to rebrand as 'ace') launch a sketchy-esque party in dublin. we have NO IDEA what to expect from this, but we've bust our balls, so hopefully people will turn up. if you know anyone in dublin who you reckon would like to check it out any wednesday (or if you're down mexico way yourself), please use that email address to sort yourself out with as many guestlist places as you need!
RIGHT!
guestlist open - just hit us up via the wee box on this page. will confirm with an email reply tomorrow around 4pm. as ever, only ask for yourself and priority given to those who comment on this blog (even with requests or complaints ;-))
tomorrow night we welcome a sketchy regular and all round GBOL joe fox to make his sketchy debut. first of four or five brand new DJs who'll get a 45 minute peak time slot in the club in the next few weeks. about time we had some young blood in, given the combined age of myself, the two pauls and our mark is about 429.
anyway, joe has kindly agreed to pick ya three slices of rave ahead of his set tomorrow night.....so over to you, joe....
Alex Gopher - Aurora
Made my time in Ibiza so much more fun, every night before we hit the clubs we would
have listened to this, it was almost like a religious ceremony. The
worst part about it was we didn't get to hear it being played out. Not even once.
Don't worry though, cause it wasn't like I was stuck for tunes out there 
Tiga - Overtime
It was used as the teaser for Ciao! Which is the new album by Tiga. I'm a bit slow
on the uptake these days and have only gotten around to listening to it now.
Needless to say, it's fuckin' cleesh.
Gunstar - Dream Machine
Cathal Goodwin is a local producer who goes by the name of Gunstar, he has many a
tune on the likes of his myspace and bebo but this one is probably my favorite. It's
been around for a while and got mentioned on Noise Porn, which if you haven't heard
of is a fairly recognized blogspot for all kinds of music. Needless to say, you
should give this a listen and keep an eye on this guy cause ya just never know, eh?
thanks joe!
oh, and dont' forget about the WE ARE PARTY mix we plugged on last weeks blog....
peas
rigsy x
howdy y'all....
decent blog this week....
first up, ruairi drayne's pics of the belsonic aftershow last thursday
let me know if you've been spotted ;-)
secondly, a new mix!
this is one myself & paul hamill put together to mark the launch of a sketchy-esque new party in dublin, every wednesday at the academy. it's called 'shaker'.
of course, sketchy regulars get in free - so if you're ever down in dublin just email me at rigsy@sketchyclub.com and i'll put you and a couple of mates on the guestlist.
ANYWAY, the mix is pretty much a mash up of classic sketchy tracks that have been hammered the last three or four years - and a few new things we'll be hammering in the coming weeks. daft party tuneage pretty much, but sure thats what we try and do best :-)
