Irish Moss Records Sessionwith special guest Mowty Mahlyka aka Dark Angel
The Bernard Shaw, 
Richmond Street South, Dublin 2, IE
21.03.14

BOOM! Here we come again with a big night of reggae inspired goodness as the IMR Crew return to The Bernard Shaw for the monthly session... The response to the Feb session was huge, so we thought the only way to top it was to introduce a brand new label signing to y'all. Very special guest for this month's Bernard Shaw session will be MC Mowty Mahlyka (aka Dark Angel). With a couple of releases due this year on Irish Moss, this might be a good time to get yourselves acquainted with Dark Angel.  All the usual crew will be in attendance, Dirty Dubsters, Ancient Alien, and of course, your faithful blogger! It's an early-doors show (8:30) and admission is free, so get yourselves along. Join up on the Facebook Event Page to stay in the loop (and see below for free afterparty info)...I could write you a few lines on what to expect, but it might be best if I let the star turn do the talking...



Dj Carlos Irie (IMR) & DJ Pipes (Boneyard Junkies)
Pacino's
Suffolk Street, Dublin 2, IE
21.03.14

Afterparty time for the IMR Session...and where better than at late night venue Pacino's. It's a link up with DJ Pipes of The Boneyard Junkies, where vinyl goes head to head (or hand in hand) with newfangled digital in what promises to be a great top-off for the night. Pipes has more badges on his jacket than any man we know, and suitcases full of Jamaica's finest wax (nuff said), while your blog writer will be trying to fuse the reggae/hip-hop/bass music universes in a complementary stylee, with a microphone or two free for whatever happens to kick off. Hit up the FACEBOOK EVENT PAGE HERE to check the ins and outs, and bear in mind that while it's FREE ADMISSION at the door, you would be well advised to be there in advance of 2am before the shutters go down and you get locked out in the cold. Brrrr ;)


PEACE!
