Music articles
// May 19th, 2007 // music, writing
I’ve chucked up a few old music articles that I wrote years ago. Hardcore you know the score was written for Anorak. And the (rose-tinted) History of Dublin Clubbing was written for DUBfly. Actually they’re both fairly rose tinted. And there’s my thesis on acoustic phenomena.

You were right about your post John, it’s about as succinct and complete a history of the genre as someone could wish for.
Shit I just remembered that I forgot to reply to this. Thanks for the comment. But I was only joking of course! Give me Energy Flash any day!
Cheers!

Hi John, I read your article on History of Dublin Clubbing. Its great to read about the good memories. I was a bit dissapointed that I didnt get a mention as I was DJing in nearly all sections of the article, Including a member of the DFC. Anyway if you would like a quick preview of my Djing Life thus far check out http://www.myspace.com/djlatinwolff . Cheers, Baz
Woah the Latin Wolf! now that’s a blast from the past. Great to hear from guys like you; Matt from Bumble was in touch just recently too.
I can’t believe I didn’t mention you either. I listened to The Sweat Box religiously and always remember your name being mentioned and your mixes being played. I’ve just amended the version on my site to include you.
Sure I had to leave LOADS of stuff out of the original article anyway, the word limit was very small.
All the best!

Quit your whining Latinwolff, you got a mention in the article. Rightly deserved too. I was kicking myself watching you be the first DJ in Dublin to sync mix live using three decks simultaneously. I think it was some event in the Mansion House. You were one of the few DJs back then who could actually mix!
Thanks John, for the great article – quite a trip down memory lane. Can’t believe I now have one of those old flyers with my name on it.

Ilived in Dublin in the Sixties! im an Artist and back then I done the Interior of a lot of Clubs and Botiques and Pubs in the Centre of Dub ,the Go Go ,the Moulin Rough,the Count -Down the Scien,the Carolin in Dun Leri..ect ect,i used to hang out in the Baily as did all the Hips at the time!
Hey John/Bass great to hear from you too! I’m sure there’s plenty of flyers floating ’round with your name on it. I think Francois has a load of old flyers.
Thanks for the feedback on the article. Just realised its now 9 years old, so the article itself has joined the old skool ranks.
Hi DC. That’s interesting. I’m sure I’ve probably admired your work at some stage.
Cheers

what about NR GEX 1 AKA MICK WALSH 3 DECKS TRY 4
Hi G. Had a major word limit on the original article. Was only for a little zine. There was LOADs I didn’t mention. In fact I didn’t even get to mention any of that second wave of Sides DJs.
I think myself and Mick Walsh went out with two sisters at one stage.
Were did you get your info!! its all over the place, by the looks of things you didn’t go clubbing in Dublin, from reading your article, or who ever gave you your info didn’t like one or two DJs and i think you know who they are, the two of them were resident at Asylum and sides. also you mention “the legendary G1s” i wonder who were the DJs there?????? only the same to guys that didn’t get a look in. And by the way, what was the second wave of sides DJs.
Hi Mick. I was just going to ignore this, as it just struck me as some drunken ranting.
But no you’ve got it backwards, it was totally written from a personal perspective, and exactly why it doesn’t have your favourite djs (or you?) in there. Yeah I wasn’t a big fan of sides in it’s last few years, big deal. I left out a lot of people… was only a little article in a little magazine… wasn’t supposed to be comprehensive who’s who.
I guess i got it right so, is one not allowed to comment on your personal perspective, that you did for your little magazine. :) by the way john its not mick, it’s mike do you not remember me. i wasn’t talking about one dj i was talking about two.
Mike Jones? Nupe, doesn’t ring a bell. Have we met?

Hi John,
I’m researching a college music assignment and came across your ‘History of Dublin Clubbing’ article. It was really helpful, cheers! I was hoping I could maybe pick your brain a little more about it. Any chance you could email me? Would really appreciate it. Thanks!
