Bside Incoming: Shampain

Bside Incoming: Shampain For our 165th show, we’re giving a warm welcome to an internationally acclaimed DJ who’s a proud proponent of local talent and a dedicated member of Ireland’s underground music scene: Shampain. Along the way he has co-founded the legendary G TOWN Records, held a long standing residency and thrown a variety of parties via his collective VSN WORLD. Having played almost every (dwindling) club and festival in Ireland, he has taken his distinctive sound and attitude further afield and to legendary institutions such as Subclub, Amnesia, KOKO and RSO to name but a few. Shampain is passionate about pushing the Irish electronic scene forward and the debut G-Town festival will be taking place in his hometown of Galway on the 23rd of July. So save the date!! Expect a truly eclectic Bside selection with the loose theme of love, from reggae to rock to folk to dance music, all interspersed with Irish charm and musical passion.

Om Podcasten

Bside podcasts DJ's showcase and speak a little about their favourite tracks from the B-side of their records. We endeavour to broadcast the best of the B-side: a bi-weekly invitation into the impressive record collections of some of our favourite selectors. An exploration into the the back-catalogues, the deepest depths, the darkest crevices of their collections. Returning with the spoils of this venture: their most cherished records and hidden gems, from the go-to club weapons to the rarely heard home-listening records, and everything in between. Music is for sharing. 'By the early sixties, the song on the A-side was the 'hit' song that the record company wanted radio stations to play. The B-side would contain less radio friendly and less popular tracks. In our eyes the B-side is a true reflection of the producers taste in music, there is more personality on that side of the record'.
