DEAF festival returns once again this October with another outstanding line up of some of the world’s most interesting electronic artists. Spanning numerous genres and various venues around Dublin and for the first time taking place over two weekends, (Oct 21st – 31st) the ever growing festival is synonymous with offering cutting edge artists from both home and abroad.

A first for the festival comes “What we do” a collaboration, showcase and celebration of some of Irelands own electronic music providers. “What we do” will bring together for the first time some of the country’s top electronic music labels and producers to showcase the many sounds and styles spilling out from the Irish house and techno scene.

Taking place Saturday Oct 24th at recently renovated Pygmalion (previously Ba mizu) in the Powerscourt centre on Dublin’s busy South William St, the event will see a well rounded line up of long running experienced and much respected labels, as well as the recently established, relative newcomers, that are now also making lots of noise on the global club scene.

“What we do” will be a completely FREE event, beginning early evening from 5pm and running until close and giving each label the chance to showcase exactly - what they do!

As part of the event we will also be putting together a CD compiled completely of homegrown electronic music submitted by each participating label. The CD will be on sale on the day for a very reasonable price with all proceeds after costs going to charity.

This years line up will include -

We are really hoping to generate as much interest in this event this year as possible with the hope of creating an annual event at the DEAF festival for Irish electronic music labels. It’s a great opportunity for people to hear “what we do” and have lots of fun in the process, it won’t cost you anything so please feel free to spread the good word as support would be greatly appreciated!
