Pyg presents Prosumer
If all you need this Friday is some good House music to make you dance the whole night, you should go down to Pygmalion and enjoy the set of this amazing German DJ who used to be Panorama Bar resident, in the capital of the electronic music, Berlin. Prosumer should need no introduction. He is a self confessed Chicago house expert who cut his teeth working in the legendary Hardwax store.
He boasts some serious knowledge and passion for the music he plays out. With releases on Ostgut Ton, Running Back and Playhouse and the power of Berlin behind him, this will be the makings of something extraordinary. Support from Pyg mainstay Colin Perkins.
That sounds like an exciting night! Not to mention Pygmalion is a very cool bar itself.
Friday (26.08) – 9:00 pm to 4:00 am
Tickets: €10
Pygmalion – Powerscourt Townhouse, South William Street, Dublin 2
Chez Damier at Opium Rooms
If you want to stick with the House music this weekend, Opium is a good option for Saturday night.They will be receiving the Chicago House music don Chez Damier. ”Damier is as deserving of the legend tag as much as any of his House music peers, Kerri Chandler, MAW, etc.” He first played in Dublin for the Subject 5th bday at The Twisted Pepper. Soon after he played again in the TP Basement.
It seems like a night that will provide a lot of fun and good tunes!
Opium is a great venue to dance your socks off! Get there and lose yourself to the music!
