District is Ireland's point for alternative culture. New Voices is our latest podcast series where we sit down with musicians on the rise. Artists with a story to tell, even at this early stage in their respective careers.

At the District Magazine Issue 006 launch we had a series of panel discussions, brought to you in association with Bulleit Frontier Whiskey. With the help of @audiohausdublin we recorded the talks and now here's the first one. The future of music media in Ireland is hosted by District's Eric Davidson and features Shane McAuley [Soul Doubt Magazine], Kelly Doherty [Gadget and the Cloud], Bounce, the P.R.O [Slight Motif] and Dylan Murphy [Mabfield].
Con O'Brien, aka K-One, is an accomplished artist who's work has taken him all over the world. Currently based in Amsterdam, he was back in Ireland recently to paint. We met him in Cork for a conversation ahead of his involvement in the Lucozade Energy Sessions last month. We discuss how emigration influenced Con as an artist, street art and graffiti's inherently transient nature and how he moved from the streets to the design studios.
