Somewhere in the West of Ireland is Owsey, seeming to churn out incredible music at a pace which is simply stunning. With a massive emotional content and an incredible sense of tension and the cinematic (on some of the songs you will notice snippets of soundtracks from cinema, computer games and other sources) and a...
It was about 2 years ago that i stumbled across Tommy Wilson’s (aka Milyoo) productions and I have been a fan ever since. Since then i have seen him garner support from the like of Sinden on KISS FM, Mary Anne Hobbes and Gilles Peterson. Blogs all over the place have embraced and championed his...
Lecs Luther has been causing a stir on the Irish hip-hop scene. Take a look at some his video’s below and hopefully we will be snagging an interview with the man himself at some point in the near future. With a nice lyrical flow and slick beats Luther has drawn comparisons to OFWGKTA member Earl...
I recently mentioned on a social networking site how i feared that passion was dying. It may be unfounded but i get the impression a distinct veneer of “cool” is being applied to just about everything these days. It’s worrying as such things general occur right as something starts to be called a “commodity” and...
Northern Ireland’s Jernalism makes good music. So in an attempt to stretch our ever curious tendrils into the deep waters of this islands underground electronic scene we got in touch with him for a brief chat about it. Doing interesting things in the Garage and Dubstep spaces he’s getting his first release over the coming...
I’ve said it before and i’ll say it again…2011 has been the year of the album. There has been some amazing releases from some very talented people, almost to the point where an album release on the tail end of the calendar should be left begging for attention, fighting for recognition amongst the hazy memories...
LRD JXN released his debut EP on !Kaboogie’s new label last September and a fine debut it is. Nobody operates in a vacuum the old adage goes, and the cliche holds true in New Zealand where the wonky, glitchy, synthy, Scottish hip-hop of recent times could possibly be on heavy rotation. Colour is the name...
Lakker (Ian McDonnell aka Eomac and Dara Smith have been providing the Dublin scene with some of it’s more eclectic electronica for a while now. Never getting stuck in a rut or seeming to settle on a sound for too long it’s a project which is clearly about exploring and evolving, discovery and adaptation. “Spider...
You have probably noticed that StompMag has been a bit quiet over recent months. It was largely unavoidable due to ongoing health issues. I just didn’t have the energy or focus to be able to look after it and i needed to just sit back and deal with the health stuff. After a couple of...
Don’t get me wrong , i love new music and it’s evolution into other sounds but there will always be a large place in my heart reserved for that classic Dubstep vibe that emerged out of the swollen commercial corpse of Garage, as such I have been a big fan of the Sub Lab ethos...
Growing up in the Irish electronic music scene, Limerick was always a bit of a non-event. The closest I came to raving there was probably forgetting to turn off my mp3 player in the way to jax opposite the Citylink bus stop on my way from Galway to Cork. By and large Limerick was somewhere...
When we spoke to Boxcutter earlier this year he told us about the influence of shoegaze on his new album- particularly on Passerby which sees Barry’s guitar skills come to the forefront in a way that hasn’t happened before. Well now that song has a suitably psychedelic video to accompany it thanks to Sabrina Ratte who uses colorful video...
