Getting the band back together...
Honored to have @dragwoundspromotions invite us to headline this year's Trans Pride Fundraiser Festival in August at The Oh Yeah Music Centre!
Stacked line-up throughout the entire day, all for an incredibly important cause. 50% of the proceeds will be going to Trans Pride, and the other 50% to the Belfast Trans Resource Centre.
Excited to share the stage again with the gang. 🙌

Immensely grateful to be invited to play Plan B this June. An absolute staple in the musical calendar, community is front and centre with these nights.
Excited to get behind the Technics once again alongside Patrick Turner - we'll be dusting off the classic disco and house wax for this one. Tickets are nearly sold out, so get on it!
Thanks, @aidyplanb ! ❤️

Big up the folks that came down Friday night to dance with us. An absolute mixing masterclass from CORP, legendary back to back from Protocol and Bang Bike, and who could forget the live debut from our very own John Sweeney. He might need a booking agent now...
We're just a week out now from the third installment of Machine Yearning!
Everyone's working overtime to finesse their sets and, in some cases, risking life and limb (we'll tell you next Friday). CORP and John Sweeney will be flexing their musical prowess with some live sets to boot. Extremely grateful to have all these folks on board.
Tickets on Skiddle and RA ("Machine Yearning") ✌️
See you there.
Machine Yearning returns this May bank holiday weekend!
Incredibly grateful to have CORP, HALFADIMEBAG, PROTOCOL, and the legendary JOHN SWEENEY on board for this one for some live debuts and impeccable grooves.

I appreciate every single individual that came down on Saturday for the second installment of Machine Yearning.
Melding all the live and tactile aspects of playing house, techno, and percussion wouldn't be possible without the help of some incredible people, so huge thanks to Patrick Turner, Beat'n'Drum, Klark Bent, Deep Division, and Protocol for the music.
Thanks to Jonathan Guy for minding the doors, Sebastian Akehurst for taking a few snaps (above) early in the night, and to @deersheadbelfast for hosting us!

Last year, we celebrated 40 years of the seminal Hounds of Love by Kate Bush with a curated, all-vinyl deep dive. But why save the celebrations for milestones? Let's do it every year!
We're back in The Green Room this April for another evening of "SOUNDS OF LOVE". Expect a journey through the theatrical drama of The Kick Inside, the avant-garde soundscape of The Dreaming, the emotional depth of the Hounds of Love, and literally everything in between!
Whether you're a life-long devotee or mere fledgling, come and share your appreciation for one of the most distinctive voices in modern music. You just know that something good is gonna happen...
🗓️: Saturday 4th April

Feeling inspired by the NI Science Festival, we're going back to the classroom this March for a bit of a physics lesson...
"DANCE OF THE ATOMS" is equal parts science lecture/love letter to the quiet magic of the humble turntable and how scientists use the same working principles to see the literal building blocks of the universe itself!
Grateful to have both @conleth.forde and @moog.beats on musical duties before/after the talk. 🙌
🗓️: Saturday 7th March 2026.

MACHINE YEARNING [VER 2.0]
Dusting off the hardware to meld synth and percussive groove yet again, Protocol, Klark Bent, and Deep Division join Beat'n'Drum at The Deer's Head this March for the second installment of Machine Yearning.
Former Lathropus co-runner Patrick Turner also joins me for an all-vinyl back-to-back. With casual bookings such as Laurence Guy and Real J. under his belt, he'll deliver some proper house earworms for the early birds.
⛔ Ditch the phones. Be present on the night.
Tickets available on Skiddle. Search "Machine Yearning" or check link in bio!
Still on a massive high since Sunday after ALL THINGS GO. An absolute highlight of my year taking to the stage to play so many incredible songs by Sufjan Stevens and to share the night with so many fans like myself.
Immeasurable thanks goes to @connthornton , @ourmaciara , @lifegaveuslemon , and @contrafunktus for lending their impeccable musical skills to this project.
I'm incredibly grateful to have had @orthaband on support duties. A big thanks to @ourmaciara , @j0ulie_arm , and @ciara.captain . They're swiftly on their way to world domination!
A completely unexpected pinch me moment too when I spied my face on a certain someone's Instagram story last night. 👀
We'd love to do this again for anyone that missed out, so watch this space...
This Friday (19th) marks the return of our beloved Culture Night. 🎉
Established are dishing out award winning Jamaican patties from U105's own @carolynstewartni .
Music from @_martin.guy_ , spinning sounds from the southern hemisphere, and samba legends @beatndrum will channel the remaining glimmers of Summer sunshine into a beautiful acoustic selection of samba hits!
This event is for all ages. 😄
