Good news for fans of electronica. Le Galaxie frontman Michael Pope has joined forces with Whelan’s for Midnight City – a new series of shows showcasing the best of up-and-coming Irish electronica.

With such focus on Irish hip hop and the re-emergence of Irish guitar music on the international stage in recent times its great to see somebody of Pope’s stature stepping forwards to shine a much needed light on Irish electronic music.

Midnight City will take place every Thursday upstairs in Whelan’s featuring performances from Irish electro acts followed by DJ sets from Pope and friends.

Midnight City kicks off tonight with LOGUOS who recently released the poptastic banger Ego with Jack Rua.

Also appearing this week is Bray’s Ódú. Check out her single The Feed You Lies below.

So why not head upstairs after Zaska brings the stank to Whelan’s main stage tonight for some electronica? Doors open at 11pm and all events are FREE. More info here.
