What up ninjas? Today we're looking to start your June off the right way with a fresh edition of The Hip-Hop Dojo. We've stacked together one of the largest hauls we've ever had, making this quite the exciting week for new music. Given that this week's playlist boasts a whopping 36 tracks, I won't be detailing every track on here, but I'll do my best to sum up the highlights. We kick things off with the whimsical ode to everyone's second favorite Peanuts character, "Charlie Brown." Taking on the perspective of the beloved loner, [...]

Before I write about news from The Chapters you need to have a listen to this wonderful tune 'Arcade of the Scribes' taken from the second album from the Dublin band: To help with the funding of the album The Chapters have gone the Fund:It route: http://www.fundit.ie/project/t he-chapters-2nd-album-release Rewards for funding Blood Feels Warm: €10 + Digital download of The Chapters album Blood [...]
Les cinq girls australiennes du groupe Beaches nous dévoilent leur nouveau titre nommé Distance . Extrait de leur second album, She Beats à venir pour le 3 Mai chez Chapter , ce morceau donne le ton à un disque qui s'annonce débordant d'énergie. Heavy psych-out rock pourrait caractériser ce style de musique entrainante et addictive qu'il est plutôt difficile à mettre dans une case. Il nous tarde d'écouter ce nouvel album !
Here's my weekly round-up of the best videos to check out from Irish artists. Hermitage Green: Song For Paul I'm really looking forward to seeing Hermitage Green tomorrow night in The Academy, Dublin. Support is from The Young Folk so get down early.

Standish/Carlyon are Conrad Standish (bass/vocals) and Tom Carlyon (guitar/electronics). Good band name. Easy to google. Take note kids. So I was down at the New Museum of contemporary art in the lower east side, NYC the other day. Yeah you read right - cool huh. And I was in both shock and awe at the number of sleazy moustaches on the faces of ridiculously good-looking people. If there was a soundtrack for what I witnessed it would have to be 'Nono/Yoyo'. So what I'm saying is this track is so forward thinking, it's both seedy and beautiful at the same [...]
Words by Robin Stewart I was in a record store one day when I chanced upon a compilation album presented by Johnny Greenwood of Radiohead fame. You may be familiar with his work; has the odd tinkle on the guitar, every now and again impresses with his prowess on this or that electronic box of tricks. Good bloke. Very thorough. What caught my eye though wasn't Radiohead's finest, but the red, gold and green on the cover. Greenwood's ingenuity has many influences I'm sure, but his [...]
Christmas is nothing without the cheese. As Christmas only officially begins when the Coke Cola adverts start airing and the mince pies are finally served, then the festivities at this end of the pond are more than active. Lets thank God there is always LIGHTS DC to do away with those hole-in-the-middle and smelly slices. Quintessential synths are enclosed from the delight that always makes his mother & father proud: Mr. LIGHTS DC . LIGHTS DC – Calypso DARK ROOM NOTES - Elm (LIGHTS Tech Noir Mix) [...]

Not only is it four years since I began writing this blog but I can be reasonably sure that I'm going to hit the 500,000 views milestone in the next few hours. I'm hugely proud of this milestone considering I limit my content to Irish artists and restrict the content further to the music which genuinely excites me. As with every project it can go stall when you fail to review so here I am going to review the music I wrote about in 2009. Part 2 - 2009 When I [...]
Last Friday, The Chapters performed their first headline Dublin gig in a long time with a really nice performance of new material in the Unitarian Church on St. Stephens Green, Dublin. The setting was perfect for a band looking to build a profile after a change of line-up and a new musical direction. The Unitarian Church provided a nice warm listening atmosphere for an audience hearing a full album of new songs for the first time. The new direction finds The Chapters slowing the tempo right down with a country folk feel and embedding varied [...]
In a new feature I'm going to review a month of happenings on the Irish music front from my humble perspective. It'll be the aim to help promote the music that's impressed me during the month. October was a month of missed gigs for me. I missed the SJ McArdle and Stewart Agnew tour which saw both artists sharing the stage performing a mixture of tracks from their perspective albums. Check out this video from last month's Brand New Opry night in Blackrock, Co. Louth. Stewart Agnew [...]
