Transmission@ The Button Factory, Saturday October 16th
With all the quality rock shows in Dublin recently, and with no end in sight, I have been getting my ear chewed off about the latest offerings of rock music about town. Now, I enjoy planning my next gig caper as much as the next guy, but what happened to all pre-planned mental party sessions? What happened to the Rave?
In my ever-increasing desperate attempt to ‘keep it lit’ I have decided to declare that winter now be known as Rave Season. Why go to endless repetitive rock concerts when there is a dirty fidget house session down the road? Especially when the session will no doubt continue well into the early hours, regardless of your non-functioning eyelids? Nothing says ‘party’ better than a mass of depressing colorless glow-sticks surrounding you at 5am, and with that in mind here’s what’s in store this week for all you clubbers out there.
Transmission welcomes you to The Button Factory this Saturday as they play host to a sweet double-header of Hot Pink Delorean and The Cuban Brothers.
Hot Pink Delorean are a side project of drum & bass group Terravita, and have been creating quality remixes of mainstream tunes since 2007, most notably Pixie Lott’s Boys and Girls. Other mixes include artists such as Britney Spears and Beyonce, along with more obscure choices like Van Halen’s Hot for teacher. But don’t let these collaborations fool you. Hot Pink Delorean, who are currently signed to dance mogul Steve Aoki’s Dim Mak records, are fresh off a busy festival season and are looking to continue dishing out their banging electro to Dublin ears.
If that’s not enough to entice you, Transmission have also got The Cuban Brothers! For those out of the loop, The Cubes’ fantastic integration of dance music and comedy earned them high acclaim at festivals like Edinburgh, Bestival and the big kahuna, Glasto. They have held the main stage at Manumission and even hosted the NME awards. Their style and attitude are indescribable, so it may be best to just check out their site before you undoubtedly mark this night on your calendar.
Transmission have promised a whole heap of guests in the coming months, and judging by this Saturday’s double whammy it’s clear they are true to their word.
So for the most entertaining night of the week, and your only choice for a soulful Havana vibe mixed with some quality electro, there is no better place than Transmission at the Button Factory. Except for maybe Cuba, but I heard they have no McDonalds…
