Shit Robot/\Riotous Rockers

Saturday April 24th sees 2 International guests land at Punch ..

Headlining the main room is one of the DFA originals - Shit Robot cut his teeth as a DJ in NYC through the 90s and early 2000s alongside the likes of James Murphy of LCD Soundsystem and Luke Jenner of The Rapture, curating renowned nights like Plant, which was dubbed the 'coolest and loudest bar in New York City' by Face magazine (10/02). It was at Plant Bar that Marcus and DFA’s James Murphy started their now infamous Shit Robot party, named after Murphy’s crap robot drawing.

Shit Robot productions have been featured on mixes from luminaries such as Radio Slave, Shir I Khan and Rub N Tug's Fabric compilation, while his cut "Simple Things (Work It Out)" is an ace offering of new-school disco that featured in many discerning critics' year end best of lists from '09 and was reworked by Todd Terje and Serge Santiago.

And in The Cave .. Riotous Rockers formed after a chance meeting on the dance floor of Fabric Room One in the summer of 2003. Unbeknown to Pete and Boggy they would both meet again in their home town of Nottingham a few months later to discover they shared a mutual love of all things Electro, Pop, Disco, and Rave.

The DJ partnership was truly formed when they were given the chance to play at Nottingham's most hedonistic night, Liars Club. Mixing up as many styles as they could lay their hands on, they complimented promoter Ricky Haleys inspired bookings (which over the years has seen the likes of Franz Ferdinand, Scissors Sisters, Bloc Party and The Klaxons play long before they became household names). Riotous Rockers soon became a regular fixture at the club.

It Begins!

2 weeks ago Punch! was born ... a night of house techno electro and all in between, at The Good Bits on Store St, Dublin 1. We have taken over The Cavern each and every Saturday night and are here to provide a clubnight unlike the numerous others in Dublin, a night that wont cost a bomb and brings you top international Dj's at reasonable prices in an intimate venue. I Colin, am going to be writing this blog, mainly music and related topics,there is no plan as of yet. So we shall just move on from here.

Resident Dj's are...

Last year alone he has worked with Yo Majesty, Kitsune, Ed Banger, Calvin Harris, The Glass and Director. The infamous Rage against the Machine bootleg is now an official release on UK white label.

Colin Perkins

Colin has supported acts as diverse as Hot Chip Phil Kieran and Fergie in the past, his sets can be found across the web on sites such as soundcloud and myspace, Colin was born in Dublin 19 years ago , his first love were the drums and percussion, after losing interest in bands at the time,He was firmly set on electronic music and in 2005 began to Dj in clubs around the city, having played all over the place this summer, Colin is now focusing on his own productions in Windmill Lane Studios.

Lorcan Mak

Lorcan McDonnell AKA ‘Lorcan Mak’ was born in 1989 in Dublin, Ireland. He began Djing in 2002 and first took an interest in producing around the year 2004. His love for music began at an early age, experimenting with many musical instruments as a child. But in the end he chose the computer as his way to create music. Self thought in most industry standard DAW's (Digital Audio Workstations), Lorcan is renowned for his super clean, Techno Fuelled, House productions and his sub crushing Dj sets.
