Breaking through as a teenager and signed to R&S Records as part of the label's new generation of acts, two decades later Hamill presents his latest album under the new moniker, Jack Tiraquon. Released via his own label, Tiraquon Recordings, The World Overhead is the sound of Hamill removing the Space Dimension Controller guise and concluding the space-themed concept to move forward into the unknown as the cinematic hardware musician he's always been. Listen: tiraquon.bandcamp.com 🔈 MONSIEUR POMPIER'S TRAVELLING FREAKSHOW is a five-piece band and theatrical spectacle blending surreal cabaret with chaotic art rock. With songs about bog witches, ear fairies and inside-out cats, their live shows erupt into a fever dream of bizarre costumed creatures and warped storytelling. Their debut album Teatime Terrors was released on Cleopatra Records in 2021, with a second due in late 2025. After years haunting Europe’s fringe and punk scenes, they became festival favourites in their native Ireland. In 2025, Monsieur Pompier took things further with the opening of his Museum of Curiosities in Dublin, a permanent home for the wonderfully strange. Listen: monsieurpompier.bandcamp.com 🔈 A CLATTER AND DRONE Strongly inspired by the contemporary Irish folk/trad revival, A Clatter and Drone also draws muse from psychedelic rock and electronica. The group’s music and lyrical content is heavily influenced by psychology and philosophy, touching on predominant themes of the human condition. Listen: aclatteranddrone.bandcamp.com/music 🔈BLACK CORAL is the solo performance moniker for Cian "Moose" Megannety. Exploring the depths of low frequency immersive drones, psychedelic noise and science fiction soundscapes. Expect synths, oscillators, bass, guitars and random homemade bits. Cian is a Dublin based musician and bespoke instrument and musical effects maker, and has run Moose Electronics for the past decade, working with many national and international musicians. He also plays bass guitar and bass synth in Wild Rocket, Creepy Future and BB84, covering everything from psychedelic punk rock to experimental electronics. Listen: blackcoral23.bandcamp.com/music 🔈 LITTLE O is a global club music DJ based in Dublin, Ireland. Influenced by her love of dancing and globetrotting, Little O’s sets are full of upbeat sounds from around the world, blending a mix of global bass, afrohouse, batida and more. Listen: soundcloud.com/littleodublin 🔈PABLO SANTO is a DJ and selector who refuses to be boxed in. With roots in Brazil and a home in Dublin, his sound is a testament to his musical journey. Known for his ability to effortlessly move between genres, styles, and tempos, he’s a favorite in the Dublin scene and has shared stages with some of the biggest names in dance music, including Palms Trax, Avalon Emerson, and Gerd Janson. As one half of the Different Rhythm crew, he's dedicated to introducing audiences to new sounds, both on the dance floor and through his monthly show on Dublin Digital Radio. Listen: soundcloud.com/pabloosanto 🔈LOUIS SCULLY has been DJ’ing and collecting records, tapes, CDs, WAVs and AIFFs since he became sentient in the ’90s. He is the founder of numerous club nights and concert series including the pre-pandemic favourites Discotekken, Woweembeem and The RnB Club. He is co-founder of Telephones (promoters of the original day-parties at Pallas Studios) and more recently, runs the Signs of Life project. When he’s not writing about himself in the third person or working in music, he pursues photography and moving image projects rooted in documentary practice, exploring politics, human rights and the human condition. He believes in the healing power of art, and in particular, loud, groove-based music, which is why he spends so much time collecting it.
