jarjarjr, who from an early point in his beat-making journey, amassed a huge online following through his part in pioneering the SoundCloud beat scene. He is now solidifying his position in the Irish scene as one of the countries best producers and all around musicians. Following the release of his Free Parking On Sundays EP in 2019 and his Splice sample pack, we heard him rap for the first time on his Two Twin Plug EP last year which was the start of a new era for the Cork based artist. Now a full year on and with his first vinyl release under his belt in the wake of MF DOOMs passing, jarjarjr has his sights set on completing his forthcoming album Catch The Dusk. A four part tale told through beats and rhyme.

R.Kitt is a musician, DJ and activist from Dublin. He’s been running parties in DIY spaces in the city for the best part of a decade and advocating for the cultural value of electronic and alternative music communities. He has established himself as a stalwart participant of the electronic music scene in Dublin and has performed his live shows across the festival circuit in Ireland and abroad, with notable performances at AVA Festival, Another Love Story, Printworks in London and All Together Now amongst many others. Each live show is unique and developed specifically for the site specific context of the performance. This show will be no different. Drawing on samples from Irish life and cultural traditions and overlapping these with live synthesis and electronics, the performance will have the primary aim to make you dance while making you feel closer and more interconnected with the surroundings of the space around you.

EFÉ is a 21 year old Irish artist hailing from Dublin. EFÉ released her debut EP “What
Should We Do This Summer” in October 2020 which was recorded in her bedroom with the help of her friends. Her music is a sunny slice of bedroom pop, evoking images of blue skies on a summer’s day using shimmering synth pads and funky, modulated
guitar tones. EFÉ sets herself apart from other artists with the unique and playful groove that provides the grounding for her DIY style, and definitely marks her as one to watch from the emerging Irish scene.
