Shindig Records winter update:

Bringing you up to speed with the Shindig crew (aka, trying to fashion what we are doing with our lives to sound like we are doing something productive)

Tugboat Willy:promised an EP of sorts here a while back (see post below) so consider his hat well and truly ate.
Dont worry though, been hearing his new choons thumping loudly in his room the past few weeks and I've a feeling Shindig's golden boy will deliver another red hot CD for yall to vibe with.

DJ Dano:production wise, im not up to much these days, but Im gonna un-pack that shitty old compaq thats been sitting in my garage since september and start work on my solo material. shindig "studios" (okay, the study room in my house) has been relocated to my garage (by moving the computer out there).Im also in talks with Shindig newest Mc, Gloves to do a track.
I'll be hopefully be kicking ass and chewing bubblegum at a "battle" of the DJ's comp at the belfast students union on the 22nd.

Messy Angelo: I honestly havent a clue, fill us in Messy!
Update! from the man himself- "I've had my new PC for a week, so I'm trying to figure out how to recover all my old shit off my fucked laptop. Expect a fuller update on the crappy, ill-kempt messy blog over the next week or two ..."

Also I've been shitting it trying to figure out what I'm gonna do after Xmas when Frankie and Harvey move out ... Could be back in LK before you can say Jack Robinson.

Oddy Knocky:In between learning from polish people how to treat women and crafting pizza's at traditional Italian eatery Domino's, Fionn can be found educating us on just how good The Band are. (very)

Bor:in england probably hoofing GHB.
(I dont actually know what he's at either, do share with us robert.

B-Koz:LK's finest emcee, still not lovin police.Hopefully me and B-Koz will get a track or two done this christmas, dont want our skills gettin rusty.

Mr Bump: Getting up with his mad visual's, stay tuned

Exciting
also, plans are being formed for Shindig's third Album in a day attempt

Hat Eating Time

So last week I wrote: ...you can expect the new Tugboat Willy EP to be floating about here, ready and willing to be downloaded for free, by Friday the 21st of this month at the latest - I pwomise!

Alright, alright, the promise has been broken - I didn't get this ready in time. I have been working hard on my summer Tugboat material over the past week but to "release" it (as it were) now wouldn't do it justice. Still gotta decide whether I have decent enough vocals for the tracks I want vocals on, and it still needs tinkering, still needs love.

So I'm transferring all this shit onto my laptop and bringing the work with me to Belfast. It still is coming soon, in the near future indeed - just not quite yet... In the meantime, do check out DJ Dano's fine new mix just below!

New Tugboat EP coming soon!

While I'd hoped to get a whole album's worth of material done over the summer months, things (working + the small issue of partying at any given opportunity) conspired against me, as things tend to do. So it's boiled down to a handful of brand-spanking new tracks which I'm gonna work furiously on in the next 2 weeks before the return to college - hopefully with the aid of a few collaborators I drunkenly asked to join me (if I don't get back to you soon, definitely next time!)

I'm pretty happy the way this batch is working out and you can expect the new Tugboat Willy EP to be floating about here, ready and willing to be downloaded for free, by Friday the 21st of this month at the latest - I pwomise!

Before that of course, roll on this Friday: hopefully we'll see as many peeps as possible out in full force for our man DJ Dano, the Deep Fried Funk DJs and the almighty Hot Chip in the Orchard for what should be one of the hottest gigs Letterkenny's seen in quite a while, not to mention a fitting end to a summer spent rinsing it out in bars, clubs, kitchens, living rooms, fields and forests.

Daithi & Deep Fried present:HOT CHIP!!!!

Shindig Records very own DJ Dano (me!!!) will be in full effect with Hot Chip and the Deep Fried funk DJ's in the Orchard on september 14th.
Bring yer whole cru and get ready for a night of arse shaking fun.

Piers Morning - Meta

Check out Piers Morning's tunes here, and make friends with Tugboat Willy/Piers Morning here!

Remixers get to work

Hot Summer Joint Acapella

i left a few bars of drums at the start so if yall wanna use a beat mapper to get the tempo.
give tugboat a shout if ya need the instrumental parts

DJ Dano & B-Koz: Remix Round 1

Evening all. Time for (I think) the 13th post in a row with "DJ Dano & B-Koz" in the title.

Now that the dust has settled on the gig, we've started getting our team of remixers working away on a few of the tracks. The first results are from elusive audio messer Kick Acid (*cough* DJ Dano *cough*), and yours truly.

Check out Kick Acid's "Club Sandwich edit" of "Everybody Let's Go" over on the DJ Dano and B-Koz Bebo page.

My remix is of trusty old "Evidence is Real". This was meant to go on sale as a single at the show/in Universal, but fate has let them sit gathering dust in my backpack. 20 hard copies will go to our nearest and dearest. Probably. You can have your own hard copy if you'd like by lobbing the tunes on a CD and printing out the slightly racy cover (designed by DJ Dano of course).





1. Evidence is Real
2. Evidence is Real (Tugboat Willy's Forged Evidence remix)

Hope you enjoy! Anyway, here I am meticulously editing a blog post when I should be out partying like there's no tomorrow. Laterz, Shinduggies.

P.S. If you'd like to get your hands on the parts of one of the tunes for a remix, you're more than welcome! Just leave us a comment/drop us an email.

DJ Dano & B-koz: The aftermath

What a cracking weekend it was. I'm still absolutely shattered. Big thankz to all the coves who showed up. Easily the best night all summer. Big shouts to Daithi for the blistering party set at the end.

My poor Kaoss pad, RIP mister power plug, you will be replaced. The album's available now from Universal, though pick up the pace, it's gonna be a limited enough run of copies.

Next on the agenda is a video for "Hot Summer Joint", and expect to see some remix action (anybody interested in putting out a remix?)

DJ Dano & B-Koz - Live tomorrow night!

Just in case our ruthless promotion machine hasn't got through to you yet, DJ Dano and B-Koz will be performing a full live set to launch their new album tomorrow night (Saturday 21st July) in Club Ensanity at the Orchard.

Albums...


...and singles...

...will be on sale. The show kicks off at 11pm so be sure to get there early for Shindig's biggest night of the year! See y'all there!

DJ Dano & B-koz: Album production completed...

...Bring on the live show.

Making fifty copies of the same cd and printing and cutting all the art work is a pain in the arse.

Every things gone to plan.

swimmingly infact.













Christ, im hungover.

DJ Dano & B-Koz: Art work

DJ Dano & B-Koz : Strictly for my coves tracklist

Dj Dano & B-koz Album report: Thank fuck

After three long years in the making, I have finally burned off the first copy of "strictly for my coves".
Cheers to tuggy for the bass heavy mastering.

B-Koz & DJ Dano live report

Tugboat here. So we had another decent practice for the upcoming live show today, powered by the assorted amps scattered around DJ Dano's garage.

The setup:

-loops in Ableton on my laptop, going through the Kaoss controlled by Dano;
-Fionn on lead guitar;
-B-Koz and DJ Dano on the mics.

The yet-to-be seen setup (with a week and a half to go, yes indeed):

-Diarmo thumping away on another guitar;
-Brian on another laptop with the visuals.

But it's sounding good and we're gonna give it our all. Practice continues tomorrow.
