Having hosted a spectacular 3rd birthday weekend last week with resident dj's Paul Webb and Mac 3 being joined by an 8 piece soul band Santoria, China White Resident Dj Alexandra Donald, 2fm's John Power, Mc Muzzy G and ibiza's Miss Behavin and Demot C , the Limerick superclub shows no sign of letting up this weekend with a double bill of disco delights!
Bring the noise! as this weekend will see the much anticipated return of the Gentleman thief himself, Justin Robertson to Trinity Rooms, Limerick!
The UK's favorite DJ will boast a massive line up guaranteed to see us dancing well into the Autumn! Having scooped 'Best House DJ' in the UK Underground Awards last month, Justin played to a jam packed courtyard last summer in Trinity Rooms, and has every intention of out doing himself this time round!
And on Saturday it's the return of the hottest dj's in the uk right now, Backstage Sluts.
Having recently finished a tour supporting the Prodigy at 35 gigs around the world, uk mash up trio Backstage Sluts will play an exclusive dj/live show in the Trinity Rooms, Limerick on Saturday 19th August.
Both Acts come with the brand of quality that Trinity Rooms has become known for over the last three year. "Justin and Backstage Sluts sum up the good time party buzz we strive for across our 3 rooms and I can't wait to see what they have in store for us this Time" said club boss Joe Clarke.
A legend of the dance music scene, Justin is a man in demand, regularly found rocking dancefloors across the globe. Over the years, the former Lionrock mainman has remixed such luminaries as Manic Street Preachers, Bjork, New Order, Felix Da Housecat, The Stone Roses, Stereo MC's and Chemical Brothers. His 2001 Revtone album saw Justin throw another sound curveball, taking its cue from the disco-fied New York sound of late 70s Talking Heads, weaving in melodic techno influences to create an intriguing new sound. Everything he touches turns to gold.
>From being a original Hacienda resident to touring stadiums under the Lionrock banner to remixing some of the biggest names in the industry, Justin Robertson's role in the evolution of house music shouldn't be understated. His elevation to the position of one of Britain's most respected DJs and musicians began in Manchester back in 1990 and be it as a DJ, producer or even the occasional top 40 pop star, Justin's position in dance music remains fixed as that of both enthusiast and constant innovator. Jetting in from his Summer residency with John Aquaviva at Privilege in Ibiza this is a rare chance to catch one of dance music renaissance men in the unique intimate setting of the Trinity Rooms city centre courtyard,.
Backstage Sluts are Paul Head cleaner, Jason Laidback and Robin 12tree. The Backstage Slutz have been responsible for some of the biggest bootlegs and remixes. Everyone from Steve Wonder, Prince, Chemical Brothers, Rage Against the machine and Kayne west have been plundered, rinsed and remixed.
Fatboy Slim has has called them his favourite producers of 2006 and they reached No 1 in the Coolcuts chart and no 19 in the Radio 1 Dance Charts in April of this year.
Support on the respective nights Comes from electronic ireland's Mike Mc Coy and winner of the UL Dj Competition Paudi Aherne and local boy Darragh Flynn.
