Mother DJs
Conceived in June 2010, Mother is an old school club night for disco loving gays and their friends. Packed into a cosy underground space, the club has become an institution of Dublin nightlife and has been named one of the “top five clubs in Ireland” by The Irish Times, Hot Press and Attitude magazine. Not only has the club raised the bar when it comes to queer club-culture in Dublin, Mother is also a main player at creating magical moments at some of Ireland’s biggest festivals, last year named one of the top 13 acts at Electric Picnic this year.
Soulé
Soulé is the leading force in a new wave of emerging Irish music. The Dublin based electronic pop artist is here to make her mark with her bass heavy sound and soft – soulful vocals. Born in London and raised in Dublin seaside town of Balbriggan, the singer songwriter’s innate charisma, natural talent and electronic pop influenced tunes have garnered her a cool, three million streams on Spotify.
