Foggy Notions presents a late night celebration of live electronic music
featuring New Jackson, Rory Sweeney & The Outside.

New Jackson is the lauded sonic poet of nocturnal romance, an artist
who’s evocative machine soul has enjoyed a celebrated career both on and
off the dancefloor. The impending release of his second album OOPS… POP!
for Permanent Vacation now rewrites his own inimitable playbook from his
current abode on Ireland’s south west coast to further affirm his status
as one of electronic music’s modern visionaries.

Since his production debut under the alias back in 2011, Irish musical
polymath David Kitt has released some of his most beautiful music as New
Jackson. It’s an anything-goes electronic sound driven by an
“MPC-mindset”; a hardware-obsessed vision of rhythm further clarified by
Kitt’s unrivalled songwriter’s nous, impassioned love of ecstatic dance
music and adventurous experimentation in the studio. The project’s
origins date back to his time as part of Dublin's 'Thomas The Skank
Engine' crew (behind the now-legendary Dub Trax parties), a key focal
point of inspiration that anchors Kitt with an underground mentality no
matter where his music’s popped up since.

This all, of course, in tandem with his beloved live show; a spectacle
in performance and sound that featured around the globe at places like
Berlin’s Panorama Bar, Frankfurt’s Robert Johnson, NYC’s Output,
Amsterdam’s Sugar Factory and Ibiza’s Pacha Destino as part of Solomun's
‘Plus Live’ series. Then there’s the small matter of his near three
decade-long DJ career; a passion of sprawling selections that expose his
vast digger’s knowledge and defiance of genre frigidity that speaks to
his versatility within the craft; as comfortable rocking festival main
stages as he is spinning rockabilly 7’s in a dimly lit pub.

‘OOPs… POP!’ then is the highly anticipated sequel album, a refreshing
new twist in the New Jackson oeuvre. Released with long-time
collaborators Permanent Vacation, it is a concise triumph in techno-pop
recorded across the span of five years and three different countries.
Within the album’s 9 tracks, Kitt manages to transform his process into
a leaner beast; tightening the screws around arrangements and
songwriting to inspire an album sonically effortless in demeanour and
spontaneously playful in structure and form.

Rory Sweeney is hard to define, having made a name for himself as one of
the key artists in the Irish Underground. His solo music is both
dramatic and playful, with glitchy electronics and cinematic balladry.

Mostly known for acclaimed production work for artists such as Sello,
Curtisy, Kojaque, Aoife Wolf, Sloucho, EMBY and Pippa Molony, Rory
seamlessly traverses mainstream and experimental sounds. He is the
current AVA Festival Producer of the Year recipient.

Rory's live set brings you to the otherworld, a place totally unlike our
own. Expect textured atmospheres, glonked out club beats, heavy bass and
moments of disorienting beauty.

The Outside is new collaborative project between musician/producer David
Kitt and dj/sound artist Aoife O'Neill. Using field recordings recorded
locally in Kerry as a starting point the pair stretch out in all manner
of exciting electronic directions running the gamut from blissed-out
ambient to futuristic club-ready bangers.
