Swooner Movie Nights: Discopathe


Been a while since there's been a Swooner movie! When my friend Louis at Discotekken told me he was starting a film night I knew I had to get involved and get him to show Discopath. Why, it's a horror movie about a guy who gets an uncontrollable urge to kill whenever he hears disco music, of course! Showing on Saturday 22nd November at The Generator Hostel in Smithfield - they have a very cool underground screening room, and there'll be a live funk band called Bunk on after. There'll also be lashings and lashings of Teelings Whiskey and screen printing if you are so inclined. It's pretty much my dream night! Disco dress up encouraged but not mandatory. Hope you can make it!

Check out the trailer:




Tickets are €10 and you can get them here.

Madrid - Juan C: Play Pal Mix 001

Madrid has amazing DJs AND Fucking Cosmic Trendy Balls Graffiti - Photo by KT MC

Visited Madrid for the first time at the weekend and was brought to a deadly bar called Evaristo by my friend Lucia on Saturday night - the music was so amazing I made my friend Shane find out who one of the DJs was. It was Juan C - who made this mix for Madrid label Play Pal. Quality beats. I have since contacted him and he has said he will make a swooner mix in the future! Huzzah! OR at least that's what google translate told me he said. Watch this space!
