I got some time this year through a Music Agility Award to do a bit of reading around Irish electronic music.
I didn’t realise people here were experimenting with tape and electronics as far back as the 50s and 60s. RTÉ even had an Experimental Music Studio where people were cutting tape and figuring things out as they went.
It surprised me. Not in a big way, just enough to make me stop and think about where things actually come from.
Curious how other people see it.
What does Irish electronic music mean to you?

My new sample pack Dub Techno Chord Hits Vol. 1 is out now.
I’m really excited to finally share this. It’s a small and personal project built from sounds I’ve created over the years and shaped on hardware, full of character and warmth.
These chord hits were made on the Korg EMX-1, Electribe 2 Sampler, Waldorf Blofeld, Yamaha RM1X, Analog Rytm and various hardware processors, all recorded and shaped in my Dublin studio.
I’ve put together a one and a half minute demo using a handful of the samples so you can hear them in action.

Thank you for the support.
Go forth and dub.

Been preparing for some live shows this year and naturally finding myself nudging the sounds a little bit harder lately.
Leaning more into distortion, pressure and movement 🌊
The Evolver , Analog Rytm and the 909 sounds have definitely been leading the way on these sessions. Trying to push things a little further than I normally would and seeing what sticks.
Looking forward to testing some of these ideas live this year.

Had the honour of playing a 2 hour live set warming up for @moritzvonoswald in Dublin.
His music has influenced me for years, so it meant a lot to be part of that night.
I made a frame for the poster afterwards and have it hanging at home now.
It was also special to have my parents there on the night ❤️
Thanks to @subjectevents@yamamoritengu and everyone who came early and shared it.
Moments matter.

Been experimenting lately with that push and pull feeling in the groove. Resampling vocals through the Roland VT4 and reversing bits of percussion. That psychoacoustic influence for me mainly comes from the Birmingham techno sound. There’s something hypnotic but tough about it that I’ve always loved. The Yamaha RM1X swing has been great for this as well. It really has a natural groove to the drums and it’s such a warm sounding machine(Thanks again Jay) Also been trying a timer when building grooves. The limitation of time seems to make decisions easier.

Been recording loads lately and really happy with how much music I’ve made so far this year.
Simplified the setup and set up a new effects chain on the Model 24 with the SE-70( Thanks Jay ) OTO Boum and RE 20 Space Echo.
Stripped the machines back and found myself drawn to the 909 sound more and more this year.
Just groove and functionality really.

Next Saturday I’m warming up live for Moritz von Oswald at Tengu in Dublin.
His work has had a lasting influence on how I approach music and still inspires me today. M5 is one of my favourite records. That simplicity and groove are hard to beat.
It’s been a few years since I last played the club and I’m really looking forward to this one.
Limited tickets available via Resident Advisor.

‼️ FROM THE ARCHIVES ‼️Chaz & Rustal Live From the Cellar, Dublin 2024.
We’ve decided to release a recording from one of our live sets at the now closed Cellar Club in Dublin in December 2024. RIP.
The performance is completely improvised with no prior rehearsals. We arrived to the club with our hardware, synced our systems on the night, and went straight into it. The result, in our opinion, is a powerful and cohesive piece of Irish techno.
Thanks to everyone who came out that night and to @havik.__ for the recordings.
