    cable.percussion (Johnny McDowell) is a Dublin-based electronic music producer specialising in hardware-produced acid electronica. Active since early 2023, he is known for his energetic live performances and his unique style of psychological electronic music. His music is brimming with playful melodies and otherworldly acid basslines over frenetic and often aggressive beats that defy the listener to figure out its genre. Not afraid to experiment with different styles, his sound is forward-thinking, eclectic and unpredictable, but consistently held together by his signature brain-wiggling acid sounds and pummeling breaks-infused drum patterns. cable.percussion independently released his debut EP 'C.PERC' in August 2023, shortly after his debut live performance. He has since released the EP, 'Chrysalis' (Jan '24), and his first LP, '303 Mechanics' (Aug '24), with Dublin-based label Aduaine, as well as a 5-track EP called 'XYZ' with Icelandic label Intellitronic Bubble (Sep' 24), and has also recently had singles feature on various artists compilations with Aduaine (Paraben), as well as French label Tripalium Corp (Ketone). He continues to play live sets regularly around Dublin, and has played with Dublin-based collectives including Dublin Modular, Live&Electric, Dissolve and Áise agus Éire, as well as opening for bands including FM Attack, Shakalak and Robin Blakey, and recently played a set on Dublin Digital Radio (hosted by resident Ecstatic Intervals). cable.percussion's latest release - 11 mind-melting tracks collectively known as 'Acroplastics' - sees a further refinement in his sound, exploring a multitude of electronic genres and warping them into brain-bending acidified landscapes from outer space, designed to get the listener's brain dancing as much as their body. cablepercussion ------------------- SC: @cablepercussion IG: www.instagram.com/cable.percussion/ Label ------------------- SC: @computercontrolledrecords IG: www.instagram.com/computer_controlled_records Four Four Magazine

    This week's Local Selection comes from JUSTDYL, who melds deep and gritty dubby cuts with fluorescent Balearic sun-kissed grooves, toeing the line between glossy progressive house and head-down rave energy. Hailing from North Dublin, JUSTDYL has been embedded in music culture since his early teens. Now 24, his decade-long involvement with DJing has shaped a sound that's as instinctive as it is considered. A dedicated digger with an ear for detail, he's spent years refining a style that moves fluidly across genre lines. Effortlessly weaving through progressive, techno, house and the spaces in between. This mix is a snapshot of the club sound that resonates most with him. Playful, propulsive, and rich in progression. “I didn't want to overthink it,” he says. “It's just a sound I love, and something that reflects what I enjoy playing out.” What results is a set that feels natural, intuitive, music for dancers and deep listeners alike. It bridges past and present with an ear turned toward movement, progression, and vibe. “I feel this mix represents a glimpse of some of the stuff I love to play while also capturing a progressive sound in music from the past.” SC: @dylanmurphy117 IG: www.instagram.com/justdyl_ Four Four Magazine

    KSARA steps up to our Local Selection mix series with a high-octane journey through the many corners of techno, from meticulously crafted minimalism to hard-as-nails hardcore. Unpredictable and unforgiving, this mix swerves through styles with bold, deliberate force. Based in Dublin, KSARA has been carving out her space in Ireland's thriving techno underground. Her sound is fast, hypnotic, and unrelentingly physical, merging the raw, upfront energy of hard dance with the precision and intensity of stripped-back classic techno. Having cut her teeth in some of the country's most iconic clubs and warehouse raves, she's earned a reputation for fearless, on-the-cuff mixing. Operating mostly within the faster ends of the techno spectrum, KSARA brings a take-no-prisoners approach to the decks, slamming down relentless rhythms with a closed-fist confidence. For this session, she delivers an hour of pure peak-time pressure — a breakneck-speed ride through haywired modular experiments, slick Berlin-styled minimalism, Belgian rave stompers, and beyond.

    This week's entry to the Local Selection comes from Belfast tribal techno and house-tinged techno connoisseur Princess Glitoris. Emerging onto the scene in late 2023, the 25-year-old DJ has quickly carved out a presence with a sound rooted in percussive techno and hypnotic, groove-heavy club tools. Her sets carry a raw, kinetic energy, designed for movement but nuanced in rhythm and atmosphere. Despite being a fresh name, Princess Glitoris has already shared the stage with heavy-hitters like Skin On Skin and X CLUB., signalling a fast-rising trajectory that's hard to ignore. A recent feature on our “Mix Of The Week” series further cemented her as one to watch, showcasing an hour of precise blends, leftfield selections and confident pacing that speaks to a deep understanding of dance floor dynamics. Her contribution to the Local Selection series is a brisk, high-impact ride through party-driven sounds, anchored in the housier edges of the techno cannon. Drawing from a house party mixing style, she prioritises bounce over blend, aiming to make the room shake rather than settle. It's a style that Princess Glitoris has quickly become known for: unapologetically bold, rhythm-forward, and built for bodies in motion. There's no interest in a smooth, seamless journey here—and that's exactly the point. This is upfront, in-your-face energy: compressed grooves, sampled chaos, disco-adjacent swing and tribal techno flair all colliding in real time. It's hard-edged power with a singular mission—maximum fun on the dance floor. Princess Glitoris ------------------- SC: @princessglitoris IG: www.instagram.com/princessglitoris Four Four Magazine

    Four Four Premiere: Sam Binga & Sister Zo - Let's Giggle [Pineapple]

    Play Episode Listen Later Apr 3, 2025 5:05


    'A Break From The Psychic Torment' encapsulates a lot about our collaborative, and somewhat contradictory, approach to making dance music together - it's wonky sound design meets joyous hooks and grooves. Basically, we take the fun seriously, because creating art designed for cathartic release in such challenging times requires commitment to joy. Both 'Ooh Sorbet' and 'Prego' are designed for dark rooms and late nights, but began life in the bucolic woods behind Zo's then-home in upstate New York, with us both rooting through the undergrowth and recording the sounds of stick hitting rock, or twig thwacking bottle, all of which became the percussive building blocks behind the tracks. Again, this was definitely a fun process - but more importantly, it gave these tracks a unique sonic identity. 'Sorbet' works around an almost Todd Edwards style cut-up of a vocal, while 'Prego' builds to a breakdown made from another field recording, this time from a park in Beijing. 'Panda Beef' and 'Let's Giggle' were both languishing on Zo's hard drive, clearly sick ideas but just not quite gelling into cohesive tracks. Between marathon bouts of 'Alone' and essential trips to the bakery in Woodstock for almond croissants, we reworked and fashioned them into something much closer to finished products. Mexican vocalist Sirius Soundz sent over some raw vocals, which we chopped up over the slightly Dembow-feeling beat of 'Panda'; an extra layer of Dance Mania-style bleeps brought out the cheeky wink lurking above the bassline of 'Giggle'; and a final session back in Binga's studio in Bristol locked everything in place. And finally, the dog in the artwork is the ultimate Executive Producer behind the whole project, Sadie, who is a very good dog indeed.

    This week's Local Selection comes from one of Ireland's most talked-about rising artists, Victor Krum, who supplies an earth-shattering contribution spanning hardcore, rave, and thundering grooves live from Index. Victor Krum is a Dublin-born DJ and producer whose sonic exploration is defined by a bold, high-octane energy, underpinned by experimental sampling and innovative composition techniques. His productions embody an unwavering passion for hard, unapologetically raw music, earning him support from artists such as Sara Landry, I Hate Models, Shlømo, Lee Ann Roberts, Jacidorex, AIROD, CLTX, and Kander. With a strong foothold in Dublin's club culture, Krum has graced iconic local venues such as Index, The Grand Social, and Wigwam, while also expanding his reach to renowned international spots like The Wav (Liverpool), Club Ava (Berlin), and Club 69 (Glasgow). His breakout track, “WTF is Hardcore”, amassed over 1 million streams, claimed the #1 spot on the Hypeedit download charts, and quickly became a fixture in the sets of prominent DJs around the globe. To date, his catalog has surpassed 2 million streams, with releases across notable labels like Influence Records, Rebellion Records, TX Records, The Meaning of Rave, Whalien, Barong Family, and more—alongside a steady stream of self-released material that continues to solidify his place in the global hardcore landscape. His contribution to the Local Selection Mix is, as expected, a relentless, screeching, and unforgiving journey. Krum keeps his foot firmly on the gas, delivering an intense ride from start to finish. The mix is packed with startling hardcore-infused cuts that twist and turn through shocking drops, plunging into suffocating, high-energy rabbit holes, only to erupt into moments of euphoric, 90s rave-inspired ecstasy. This is not a mix for the faint-hearted. Victor Krum ------------------- SC: @user-91739872 IG: www.instagram.com/victor_krumwav2023 Four Four Magazine

    ELLS supplies a steamrolling hour of techno for Local Selection 262. Emerging onto the scene in 2023, Ellen has quickly made a name for herself in Ireland's techno circuit. Cutting her teeth in venues such as Index, Centre Point, Wigwam, The Academy, and The Soundhouse—she's built a reputation for high-energy sets that blur the lines between hardgroove, trance, and classic techno. Having shared the stage with acts like Clouds, IMNOTYOURMATE, Veseli, and Black Traffic, the young DJ has been cementing her name as a trusted warm-up DJ, but her reach extends beyond Ireland, with international appearances in Bordeaux, France. Currently enjoying the sounds of Dylan Fogarty, Cult, and X Club, Ellen doesn't like to pigeonhole herself to a sound when DJing. “I don't think there's a specific genre I focus on—I love going to different gigs and taking inspiration from different bits of sets,” she says. That open-minded approach translates into a sound that is always pushing forward. Her Local Selection Mix embodies this approach, effortlessly weaving through various shades of the techno spectrum without fully committing to any single niche. Rather than delivering exactly what the audience expects, she teases ideas—flirting with one sound before switching gears and diving into the next. This sharp, unpredictable style keeps us on our toes, showcasing a DJ with both confidence and flair—qualities that don't always translate easily into a recorded format.

    We revive our Global Selection series with a standout contribution from one of France's most authoritative selectors of his generation, Ivan Smagghe. Ahead of his return to Dublin for Big Dish Go this weekend at Centre Point, Smagghe delivers a masterful hour of storytelling through sound. From shimmering downtempo rarities to deep, driving house cuts and smoky, electro-kissed grooves, his mix unfolds like the hazy soundtrack to a foggy morning in the hills of an undisclosed rave, transporting you there, or wherever your wandering mind takes you. Few DJs can transform obscurity into dancefloor gold like Ivan Smagghe. With a musical ethos reminiscent of the late, great Andrew Weatherall, Smagghe acts as a raw conduit, channelling his notoriously esoteric record collection into the pulsing bodies beneath the strobe. His latest mix is yet another example of his singular talent—a deep dive into the avant-garde fringes of electronic music, held together by an intuitive understanding of groove and space. Smagghe has long been at the intersection of Parisian hype and unwavering musical integrity. From his pioneering work with Black Strobe to his boundary-pushing productions as one half of It's A Fine Line, he has received praise from some of the most respected names in electronic music, including James Murphy, Trevor Jackson, Ata, Optimo, and, of course, Weatherall himself. What is their shared mission? To demonstrate that electronic music is more than just a hedonistic soundtrack; it is a constantly evolving art form. “I have very fond, if a bit blurred, memories of the Big Dish Go parties in the basement of Kennedy's… Loud and wild they were but we live in the now and we must let that spirit live on. It's just about freedom, in that mix (who cares what style it is) and in that ephemeral companionship with David Holmes.

STITCH shared some thoughts about his Local Selection ahead of its release: "This mix was a really fun one blending a lot of warpy tracks I've both recently found and even some old ones I've had for time, it really doesn't get much more “my sound” with this one consisting of crazy tracks by French II, Kassian, Lokane, DJ ADHD, Povoa, Villager and many more. Usually before gigs I'll record a couple of mixes in preparation to both practice and to find blends I enjoy and feel would work at the time of the event, so this was one that I had been proud of and held onto, so I'm super glad and honoured to have it featured.
