…and the winner is

Well, who won the savage Blogger DJ Deathmatch? By a narrow margin, The Chancer was awarded the accolade, after Rick O’Shea and UnaRocks crowned him king of the deathmatch following blistering tune after blistering tune.

The vibe was crazy fun in SoundCheck last night. AdoFemBo DJd first, then Sarah Fox, and then Derek The Chancer dropping everything from The Smiths to Peaches. Rick O’Shea was up then hitting everyone with a little Jay Z and much more, followed by UnaRocks. All Star Charge stepped it up after, dropping everything from Bloc Party to Rage Against The Machine. Then the deathmatch tag teaming began, and lasted until 2.30am. Everything was thrown into the mix; Xmas songs, Fight Like Apes, Guns n Roses, AC/DC, MGMT, Justice, Santogold, The Ronettes – EVERYTHING.

It was so. much. fun. There were bloggers galore, cake fights, dancing, and asorted hilarity. We also played the, er, much constrasting movies of Elephant and Nacho Libre.

Major love to The Chancer and Rick O’Shea for dropping in. We know they are very busy people, and we’re lucky to have them! That’s what makes SoundCheck so great – awesome people playing awesome music. Big ups to all the bloggers in the house too.

Till next time, my furry friends! (I’m sure there are loads of photees to follow today, so keep an eye on the blog!)

SoundCheck Blogger DJ Deathmatch

SoundCheck is never one to encourage violence… actually, that’s a lie.

So, to celebrate our vicious streak, we have a three-way Blog Celebrity Deathmatch lined up for this Thursday.

Watch in horror as UnaRocks, The Chancer and Rick O’Shea unleash tune after tune in a tag-teaming war designed for each DJ to trump one and other at every turn.

It’s going to be nasty, and it’s going to rawk.

rarrrr!

Rock on to everyone who came down to SoundCheck last night. What a blast!

Major love to our guest DJs on the night; YoCo, Conor Le Shark, KidneyCheck and Ed Mackey. Y’all RAWK!

See yiz next week for more cake-indie-and-cocktail-fueled CARNAGE!

Dublin Streets 90s set last night was nothing short of ASTOUNDING. Dance-offs, a very serious series of sambuca, Boyz II Men, shape throwing, and endless fun.

Before that, we had Sarah Fox and Quigo rocking it, with Sponge Bob Square Pants on the projector, and after that, UnaRocks took it to the bridge until late. Phew!

Hopefully we’ll have some photees soon to document the carnage!
