• Forbidden Fruit 2019 – Day Two

    June 3, 2019 - By 

    For the second time this weekend the grounds of IMMA are flooded by crowds upon crowds of festival-goers. Already it can be said that the second day of Forbidden Fruit will bear little resemblance to its opening day. There is less of an edge in the air and a jovial atmosphere covers Kilmainham like a warm blanket. As punters funnel into the fields surrounding the art museum it finally feels as if there is a level of cohesiveness to the festival’s crowd. The very earliest of ticket holders are greeted by the gentle pulsing rhythms of Irish Electronic artist Fehdah.…

  • Wastefellow @ The Grand Social, Dublin

    October 27, 2018 - By 

    Wastefellow is an up-and-coming coming electronic producer hailing from the streets of Dublin. With a brand new EP, Post Human Potential, under his belt and recent performances at Hard Working Class Heroes and some of Ireland’s biggest festivals this summer, his current position as an artist is on the verge of a major breakthrough. It’s clear from the packed out Grand Social midweek audience that he takes to the stage for that this is a musician surrounded by a hell of a lot of hype and promise. His show makes good on that hype with ease. Donning his signature silver…

  • The 8 Best Sets at KnockanStockan 2018

    July 31, 2018 - By 

    KnockanStockan has long established itself as one of of Ireland’s biggest small festivals and with a line up of amazing homegrown Irish talent from all genres and movements, it appears to have exceeded expectations. While the line-up is stellar and the festival is endlessly appealing in terms of appearance and size, Knockanstockan 2018 struggles with one major stumbling block: disorganisation. With many stages running towards hours late, a lack of security around ensuring safety in campsites and production room, problems with clear signage indicating who is playing where and when and issues around officially booked transport to and from the…

  • Watch: Wastefellow – Enfold You

    November 22, 2017 - By 

    Dublin producer Diolmhain Ingram-Roche AKA Wastefellow has returned with one of his strongest efforts to date, ‘Enfold You’. Featuring visuals from Flann Manning, the single – which is a four-minute traipse of shuffling beats,  thick bass and floaty electronica patterns – is the first in a new series of tracks that Ingram-Roche  aims to put out between now and next Summer. Speaking more about the track, he said: “‘Enfold You’ began as an attempt to write a pop song from somebody who doesn’t necessarily appreciate a lot of pop music. As these pop ideals filtered through my own experiences and workflow, they began…

  • Holy Fuck w/ Wastefellow @ Whelan’s, Dublin

    October 18, 2016 - By 

    It may be four years since Toronto quartet Holy Fuck last graced these shores – and six since they last treated us to a headline show – but they certainly haven’t lost their ability to bring in a crowd, if tonight’s packed out Whelan’s is anything to go by. Perhaps this being their only Irish date this time around has helped attendance, not to mention their formidable live reputation, but it’s heartening to see people haven’t forgotten about them in their absence, and with a long awaited and steller new album Congrats under their belts there’s a palpable excitement in…

  • Video Premiere: Wastefellow – Wonder

    April 15, 2016 - By 

    Off the back of his excellent collaboration with MC Bobby Basil of hellish rap duo Dah Jevu, Wastefellow links up with director Conor Donoghue to create a beautiful digital haze to accompany the dazed and confused video for ‘Wonder’, the first single from his upcoming Amazed, A Maze! EP. Wastefellow is Dublin based experimental producer Diolmhain Ingram Roche. Citing influences from Flying Lotus to Sunn O))) and back via Tim Hecker, Wastefellow’s work is densely layered and innovative and placing slick hooks and honest vocals over unworldly synths and chewed up samples. On ‘Wonder’, a forlorn lead line, spacious beats…
