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.

He started way back in the early 1990's with the "Shut up and Dance " sound system and went on to win some scratch competitions. All of these influences are evident in his DJ sets.

His Monthly "Tru-Playaz" night in Fabric is testament to his popularity. He headlines the consistently sold out monthly in one of the world's best clubs.

He's won best DJ on numerous occasions at too many awards to mention. Has released countless singles, mix compilations and has a weekly radio show on Kiss 100. MC Daddy Earl will be on hand to provide master of ceremony services. Tickets are available from www.tickets.ie and are a very affordable 15euro including all booking fees and charges.

Timmy Stewart (Jet Project)

This week at Punch we are flying down Timmy Stewart of Jet Project fame, as a duo with John McIvor they have recently released "Zuma" Which has not only just been a big track for me,

but has been released on Get Physical sub label Get Digital. You can keep up to date with the guys by checking out their blog .

Here :: http://jetproject-inflightentertainment.blogspot.com/

The Jet Project was formed after a few back to back dj sets in Belfast led the guys to realise they both shared the same love of solid dance floor electronics. The next logical step was to take all their influences and experience as djs and producers and combine them in the studio. Their sound is very much en vogue right now, from deep and dubby tech house to thundering peak time techno, support for their material to date has come from Andrew Weatherall, Francois K, Laurent Garnier, John Digweed, Heidi & M.A.N.D.Y.

Timmy Stewart & John McIver followed up a series of killer EPs for Silicone Soul's Darkroom Dubs label with their "Heads In The Clouds" long player that secured them the album of the month slot in iDJ magazine this Summer. They've also put their deft remix touches to Scoper & Bubba, the Two Lone Swordsmen, Matt Playford, Silicone Soul, M.in, Android Cartel, Sian & Deepchild amongst others.

Their recent Black Arts EP on Steve Lawler's VIVa Music spawned the club smash Tooth N Bone which won them legions of new fans and the first four releases on their newly founded Extended Play imprint with Chris Duckenfield (Swag) has earned them even more props from heads as diverse as Dixon and Claude Von Stroke.

With their latest material signed by Berlin's mighty Get Physical stable & Paul Woolford's Detroit inspired Intimacy label and a host of killer remixes and singles set to drop in the coming months, not to mention their successful side projects as Yankee Zulu and Bubba & T-Bone, it's safe to say the Jet Project are cleared for take off.

Boris Dlugosch

Punch! Proudly present

BORIS DLUGOSCH - (PHANTASY RECORDS) + Deadbots/No Disko/Punch! Residents and
introducing Monochorme - Saturday February 20th - @ The Good Bits

Punch! at The Good Bits (a small venue with a big heart!) host Phantasy records Boris Dlugosch alongside serious talent from Dublin\London/Canada.

Boris' latest production Bangkok has been one of the biggest records of the last 6 months, and was a stable in the sets of Erol Alkan, Boys Noize and Tiga. Almost 20 years as a producer and global Dj, Boris is one of Germany's most well known and respected Dj's.

Erol Loved Bangkok so much he signed it to Phantasy and the rest is history...

Deadbots are Dublin born Paul Kelly,and Vancouver born Nina Knezevic. They have cultivated a curious interest on the electro scene. Pulling influence from 80's synth pop, rock, disco, hip hop and techno. With a plethora of remixes both completed and upcoming for the likes of Hystereo, FCKN CREW, Arthur Baker, The Japanese Popstars, Humanzi, Meneo and OH SHIT, Ikki, and last years Deadbots’ track Watch Yo Back going to Number 1 on the Beatport Electro charts, the release of their 2nd EP featuring 36 Days & Someboday on New York’s OMG Recordings!With remixes by Hystereo & Heartache, and the upcoming release of thier 3rd E.P. featuring Much Better coming out soon on Satans Circus U.K. with remxies by SymbolOne/JackDied (Gooseflesh)/Hystereo/Arveene&Misk/ Fckn Crew they’re kept busy. Nominated for best live act at the slick dj dance music awards, their passion for music has seen them play at festivals, headline club nights and brought them to tear it up in Holland, Switzerland, UK, Germany, Italy, Spain, Norway and Ireland amongst others

Monochrome - more boy meets girl action, this time Dublin and London collide. Together the duo play the finest 80's, 90's hip hop and electro, while occasionally filtering in some modern beats. The Monochrome message is simple: they are here to remind people that the floor is for dancing on, ya see, hence being called the dance floor. Monochrome are made up of talented Irish design artist/DJ Jamie Delaney and London songstress/MC from Black Cherry – Miss Megane Quashie – hardest working soul girl in the UK, “this style is identical to none” (Eric B and Rakim)

Punch! Began in November of last year and has gone from strength to strength ever since: bringing quality house, techno and electro back to the venue that was previously Radio City. Residents Niall Dunne, JoshJoshJosh, Arveene and Colin Perkins take control of the music offering an alternative to stale overpriced Saturday nights in Dublin, cheap booze, great music and the lowest door prices in town even for guests.

Punch! Really is a breath of fresh air for the Dublin scene and has a host of International guests on the horizon.

Main room:
Boris Dlugosch (Phantasy), Deadbots, Colin Perkins, Ghostscene Dj's

Cave:
Monochrome Dj's (London), Niall Dunne, Josh Josh Josh

Lounge:

Youth Attack Hit Punch!

These week at SuperPunch! we will be bringing our first international guest into our humble abode for the night, Youth Attack! aka Leeds based DJ/Producing Duo Lee Dunn & Chris Petty, first came bursting onto the scene with their remix of the Shadow Dancer track 'Daytime Drinking', and have since then produced a solid collection of equally loud, dancefloor destroying remixes for the likes of Foals, Late Of The Pier, The Ting Tings and young french upstarts Art Whiplash. Its hard to believe that they only formed at the beginning of 2008, and in the space of a year have become the Electro underground scene's new ones to watch.

The lads have als ogiven us one of their massive remixes.
