About this Event
Throughout the nineties and well into the new millennium, Aran McMahon was considered to be the peer of DJs such as Gilles Peterson, Norman Jay, Mr Scruff and Andy Smith. His early 90s Salthill club night Feet First founded with friend Rory Kavanagh in The Castle was a sensation: regularly attracting a midweek crowd of over a thousand clubbers to hear Aran spin soul, funk, rare groove and the freshest hip-hop tracks of the era. Later, he made Sundays unmissable with his weekly Jazz Juice residency in the GPO, where the feelgood hip-hop of De La Soul rubbed shoulders with Roni Size’s ‘Brown Paper Bag’ and the futuristic Detroit techno of Galaxy 2 Galaxy.During the noughties, he hosted Shake! parties with his good friend Ray McDonnell (aka Ray McShake), where a new generation of admirers discovered the charms of Aran’s selections. Beyond being just a DJ, Aran is one of the country’s finest music selectors. At his parties, tracks that might be unknown to many are weaved with more familiar songs, all chosen to keep the pulse of the party going strong. So many DJs who followed in his wake, from the 091 crew to the 110th Street DJs, cite him as a major influence on starting their own club nights.
Don’t miss this rare chance to hear a true legend in action.
Boogie on down to The Mick Lally Theatre, Druid ln. for a night to remember!
