Who?

DownTownSounds is a Dublin clubbing organisation that likes to hear anything and everything on a dancing night out. From funk, soul, disco, punkfunk and cosmic sounds to house, techno and electro, we like to hear it all!

We have been running parties since 2001, and currently run a monthly Friday night club in The Button Factory in Temple Bar called Nightflight . We are also involved in running Airbound, a 3 day festival in Petrcane, Croatia, as well as various one off parties around the capital and beyond.

We have run regular nights in such renowned Dublin venues as The POD, Crawdaddy, Spirit, and Ri-Ra, as well as running 52FUNK in the basements of The Belvedere and Kennedy’s.

Previous guests at our parties include The Unabombers, Nicky Siano (Studio 54), Lindstrom and Prins Thomas, Metro Area, Idjut Boys, Theo Parrish, Daniel Wang and Maurice Fulton.

DTS goes back to the Kennedy’s basement on Friday November 13th as we welcome Chicago’s DJ Rahaan to these shores for a third time. This man ripped Ri-Ra to shreds twice for Downtownsounds back in the day, and can always be relied upon to hit you with the upfront disco, house and freaky deaky allsorts, as well as the awesome technical skills to drive you into a frenzy.

With disco fried releases on Jisco, StillLove4Music and Kat now under his belt, the wider world is most definitely catching on to the rare talent that is Rahaan.

Our utmost thanks go to the Supafast crew, whose weekly Friday hoedown at Kennedy’s is picking up a serious head of steam. They’re kindly providing the venue for what should be a cracking night of disco madness. On warm up duties will be DTS stalwart Pablo and his trusty Fatty Fatty sidekick Nic Keane of Power FM.

For a taste of what’s in store, check out this absolutely rapeh mix from Rahaan dating from February 2006
