Dublin Soul Festival

Dublin Soul Festival has seen fit to infuse our frosty Spring with some Afrobeat. Something to loosen our bodies and render our senses capable of feeling rhythm once more, these Afrobeat nights are the latest coup pulled off by the good people of ChoiceCuts. This time they’ve managed to smuggle Tony Allen into the mix, the man without whom “there would be no Afrobeat” according to Fela Kuti. The legendary drummer will be joined by the Colours Afrobeat Foundation who bring their West African grooves out to play, followed by a Late Tropical Afro-soul party. The opening night packs a fairly hefty punch too, with gems such as Congolese guitarist Niwel Tsumbu and jazz outfit Leafzang joined by hip-hop maestros Mixtapes from the Underground and HipDrop Collective. Stay out in the cold or get yourself some Afrosoul! Almost rhymes. / Roisin Agnew

Todd Terje

Hailing from Oslo, Todd Terje (pronounced terr-yeah) arrived on the scene in 2004 with his single Eurodans released on Soul Jazz Records. Since then he has remixed more than 100 artists as oddly diverse as Chic, Astrud Gilberto, Chris Rea and The Osmonds. More recently in 2011, he released the slow burning club anthem Ragysh, full of shimmering, arpeggiated synths over a rock-solid rhythm track. It wasn’t until the release of the It’s the Arps EP, which features that massive hit Inspector Norse, that Terje really hit the mainstream. It really is one of the bounciest, catchiest discohouse tracks around, complete with an infectious melody and pinging syndrums. If you haven’t heard it already on a night out in Dublin then you really need to get out more. The perfect soundtrack for a summer’s night. Win Tickets / Dave Desmond

Enemies

Enemies occupy an aural space many bands try to replicate. Their music floats in a dreamy resonance akin to the aftermath of a perfect day, but they’re not easy listening for a middle aged Sunday. Most of the songs from their second offering, Embark, Embrace follow winding patterns that peak and ease harmoniously, while their catchy melodic accompaniments showcase a talent for creating a truly versatile sound. These are not inaccessible, genre-driven songs, these are something altogether more wonderful, and with a reputation for live shows, you should get ready for a little bit of a head bang before you're lulled back into the delicate guitar riffs and ambient delights these lads have in store. With members of Heathers, Cast of Cheers et al you’d be mad to miss a night of such gargantuan Irish talent on display. Win Tickets / Laura Hayley Kavanagh

A Love From Outer Space

Besides grooming facial hair more distinguishable than that of Groucho Marx, Andrew Weatherall has also found the time to dip in and out of the music industry over the last 20 years. DJ and producer, a touchstone of his prolific output includes collaborations with Primal Scream, a tasty remix of My Bloody Valentine’s Glider EP and a banging Villalobos cover. Weatherall brings his tasche and tats to the Pepper alongside fellow clubbing comrade and disco consultant Sean Johnston for a night of “spacy dubby disco music”. ALFO was born on a road trip when both aficionados realised the stuff they were both playing and enjoying peaked at no higher than 120 BPM. Some epiphanies are greater than others…The result makes for a cross genre and relatively chilled out night of “drug-chug” beats. Win Tickets / Aaron Purcell

Honest 2 Goodness Market

A seething wave of market envy and hipster foodie alarm radiated from us millenial Dublin 8-ers during our last excursion there. How DARE they occupy a vacant lot in a northside industrial estate all guerrilla-like outside our postcode! This foodie cool-lective boasts a chilled out Pantry cafe and toys for the kids to boot! Their motto; the au courant "Quality starts at the point of origin" says it all. Next weekend charcuterie and cheese platters, made up of market fare, will be served with wine by the glass and a wine sale continues. WholeHoggs are bringing chinese style pork ribs, Australian Farmers will be visiting and Neals Yard are bringing samples for punters dreading hayfever season. To top it off, they have also nailed it by being an indoor food market what with all the Global Weirding going on.../ Elish Bul-Godley
