DA BOYS!


Once upon a time there were two young boys who felt they had something simple and beautiful to say. They wanted to talk of love, joy and being touched by life. Their names are Superpitcher and Rebolledo, together they are Pachanga Boys and they are trying to make the world a better place with their Hippie Dance record label. Or so say’s their mission statement on Kompakt.FM. In a very short space of time these “two young boys” have made a very large impact on the electronic music scene with one of the biggest (and arguably one of the longest) tracks of the last 12 months, Time. With their most recent release, Christine, currently doing big things on dance floors and their new artist album due to drop later this month, it goes without saying that we are super excited to have them over to Dublin this December to play alongside our international resident and collaborator Ivan Smagghe. Both Superpitcher and Rebolledo have serious pedigree in their own right with acclaimed releases such as Rabbits In A Hurry and Super Vato respectively. Their sound has been best described as “off-kilter dub, house, disco with some post-punk influences that venture down that mysterious road known as avant-pop”. Drawing from a lot of influences, one could say then. Ivan has been waxing lyrical about these guys work for some while now so we felt that it was about the right time to invite them over with him. This will be a new departure for Ivan as it will be his first gig outside of Kennedy’s for us. Expect big things to reflect the bigger venue!

ANY EXCUSE FOR A PARTY!



7th Birthday! We can't quite believe it. A quick thanks to everyone that's danced and made Big Dish Go so much fun for us over the years. Sure we are going to keep going, battle on and continue to bring you the music. Why not use this as excuse for another big one? So we have a mouth watering international double header with the best of local support.  


Check the full line up out...





Regis - DJ Set 
(Downwards / Sandwell District UK / Tresor Records)
One of our most highly regarded artists within the British techno/electronic scene. Half of the legendary British Murder Boys with Surgeon. Banging bliss guaranteed. 



DJ Moneyshot 

(Solid Steel)
This quote pretty much nailed our definition of a DJ in their of description of him: “A stupidly talented mixer who never forgets that a DJ’s primary role is to get people dancing. And he will certainly do that” – The Guardian 


Fran Hartnett - Live
(Audio Assault / Mantrap / Stasis)
Best thing to come out of Dublin the techno scene since sliced bread. 


Tu-Ki & Handsome Paddy
(Special back to back DJ set)
Quite possibly too many skills for one stage. Quite possibly the two most talented DJs in Ireland today.


Robbie Ryan

ARE YOU HARD ENOUGH??


PET DUO

From the darkest and most intense dance floors of downtown Sao Paulo, Brazil, arose PET Duo, the brazilian DJ couple most known for their mind-bending, forward-thinking and ass-shaking 6 decks techno sets. With a daring and challenging taste they bring together all their musical influences, such as Rock, Hip-Hop, EBM, Classical, breaking barriers and always opening new doors with their “No Conformists” attitude of playing fast and hard Techno. Using 6 CDJs, 2 mixers and effects or performing Live, they’ve developed their own way of playing which they intertwine one another’s music, working as a team to build a characteristic wall of sound. Adding to that their personal attitude as followers of DIY culture, they control all aspects surrounding their music: designing and programming their website, label artwork and producing tracks by themselves, making it all a mirror of their souls. All the while, not forgetting the dance floor where they came from, PET Duo are first clubbers and music lovers, they are profound believers of a bilateral movement that brings DJs and public together into one unforgettable experience: Unity through Music!

King Cannibal

King Cannibal (b. Dylan Richards, aka Zilla), is a London, UK breakbeat / breakstep / dancehall / drum and bass / dubstep artist. He signed to Ninja Tune in 2008, following projects on Combat Recordings, Kriss & Rag & Bone Records - which crafted his ferocious take on dancehall & filthy bass-driven beats. HIs songs feel like an invitation to come along and do some damage together, a call to arms in many ways much like protest music. A combination of industrial sonics and dancehall rhythms make his sets exhilarating to experience. Like an attack on the sci-fi present, King Cannibal, hits with an extreme force. Be prepared!

PROUD TO PRESENT A NINJA TUNE PARTY!


Time waits for no musician – but it’s still hard to fathom how over two decades have passed since the inception of visionary independent British label Ninja Tune, co-founded by Coldcut musician/producers Matt Black and Jonathan More in 1990. From that beginning the label achieved a level of notoriety quickly, due to its funky style and commitment to eclecticism. Key in the labels success was the constantly growing roster of very different sounding artists including Amon Tobin, The Bug, Bonobo, Mr Scruff, Toddla T, and The Herbaliser . Ninja now has a well respected Hip-Hop arm in Big Dada, a legendary series of mix CDs/ Radio shows (Solid Steel) and some awe inspiring stone-love compilations... the ZEN collection. The label is fresher than ever and we are proud to present this special Dublin show. NOT TO BE MISSED!

BIGWAR 6


“The battlefield is a scene of constant chaos. The winner will be the one who controls that chaos, both his own and the enemies.”
Napoleon Bonaparte

BigWar weighs in for the first bout of 2012! The location of the chaotic battlefield will again be the dance floor in the Undergound @ Kennedys. The atmosphere will be thick with industrial broken and 4x4 beats from two of the best techno producers in the world today, Bas Mooy & Radial(aka Jeroen Liebregts). These two are co-owners of the fiercely consistent Audio Assault label from The Netherlands. The label was founded in 2002, followed up by subabel ARMS in 2003. Since its begining it has gathered more and more followers across planet earth. Many years now the masterminds Bas Mooy and Jeroen Liebregts have guarded the imprints pure underground vibe and mechanical roughness with their life! Both men are established as solo producers and as part of various collabs. Their stunningly powerful sound has triggered the imagination of many. They bring you high quality no-nonsense techno from established as well as upcoming producers from all over the world including Dublin's own Fran Hartnett. Just listen through the Audio Assaullt catalogue and you will witness a mind blowing, solid concept. We are very excited to say Bas Mooy and Radial will play one hour each and then back to back for the final hour, a scuffle never before witnessed in Ireland. Speaking of which, t he Irish talent doing support on the night is our own resident and promoter Keylockd. This confused youth plays dnb, electro, getto tech and everything and anything inbetween but he mainly focuses on the harder side of the techno spectrum. RUMBLE!

Death in Vegas DJ Set (RICHARD FEARLESS)

With all the shadowy enigma of Neu! or Throbbing Gristle, one of the most exciting and unique artists to emerge from the ’90s UK dance scene, is making a stealthy return. Richard Fearless, aka Death In Vegas, cut some of that era’s most unusual records, fusing electro, dub, rock, psychedelia, soul and solid-gone experimentation to create a sound that was spacious and other-worldly, while also segueing with the pop mainstream.

After seven turbulent years, which have seen him up sticks for New York, form a raw-power rock & roll band, and eventually move back to London again, Fearless is back as Death In Vegas, releasing his first record under that alias since 2004’s ‘Satan’s Circus’.

Called ‘Trans Love Energies’, it marks a return to his roots in minimal techno, deploying the rudimentary gear behind all the classics of the original Detroit/Chicago era to try and spirit up fresh atmospheres. It’s the kind of eerie, nocturnal and often compulsively toxic record, which only Fearless could make, yet which feels thrillingly of-the-moment. His time is now, once again.
