Doors will open at eleven and the price for the gig will be 12 and 10 with the concession list limited to 100 people so get your requests here
And on Fri March 25th we return to the Trainwreck crew, and buckle the dancefloor of the Pod.
Following on from our smashing dates with Oliver Huntemann and Pig & Dan, its time to introduce Kanio.
Kanio smashed his way onto the underground dance music scene in late 2007 with a string of chart-topping productions.
In little more than a year he achieved a massive 5 beatport top tens and a further 7 top 20′s.
Quite rightly He was nominated for best minimal artist at the Beatport music awards in 2009.
Besides His two imprints, Novakane and Lower East, Kanio has signed tracks and had remixes commissioned to labels such as Trapez, Traum, Noir & Autist.
His remix work on WYS! 003, Jacob Husleys “Do What You Want” has been tracklisted endlessly:)
He joins us in Dublin straight off the back of his 8th tour of Brazil.

Feb 4th 2011 @ POD
Following on from our Dublin date with Pig & Dan, We hurry back to our Dublin residency, this time accompanied by the almighty Oliver Huntemann.
It’s an exciting date, as we join the Trainwreck crew in celebrating their 1st birthday.
Oliver is undoubtedly one of Technos leading figures.
His sound has been an influence to numerous producers and dancefloors alike.
Huntemann is a super talent, with numerous releases behind him .
Rubin, Shanghai Spinner, Cheap Tricks, the list goes on.
He has remixed Underworld, Chemical Brothers and Depeche Mode among others.
His label Ideal Audio has been home to such talents as Dubfire, Extrawelt & Andre Winter.
His back catalogue on Rekorder is incredible.
After smashing a number of WYS! at fabric dates, He is the perfect choice for this next Dublin date.
Come make some noise:)
Oliver is joined by WetYourSelf! residents Cormac& Jacob Husley.

Well it’s nearly been a year since Trainwreck was founded and we’ve had an absolute blast entertaining all of you! Without you though we wouldn’t have been able to do what we do so a big THANK YOU is in order. We hope you had as much fun as we did and look forward to loads more great nights!
I’ll be using this site to keep you all up to date. Some may wonder why some of the content on here is pretty much a repetition of the Facebook page and while it often is we have this site here for you to share with your friends who might not be on facebook (as few as they may be).
Also every now and again we’ll throw up some extra content for you guys such as mixes from our guest Dj’s and of course our resident Dj’s.
We have so much deadly stuff coming up this year but we should probably just start with our launch night this Friday with two new residents Niall Dunne and Alan Bradley going back to back to kick the night off with myself and Donal Mooney providing the entertainment for the rest of the night.
Donal Mooney: 1.45 – 3.00
Steve Neligan: 12.30 – 1.45
Niall Dunne and Alan Bradley: 11.00-12.30
Music in the Chocolate Bar supplied by Sidetracked Dublin.
Since it’s our first week back and we know everybody is going to be smashed after the new year, we’re going to have a special cheap concession price of 6€ for everybody who contacts us on our Facebook page (Trainwreck Event Page)
ALSO we will be announcing the first of our SPECIAL GUESTS during the week, Its a monster booking and one we are absolutely delighted about!
It’s going to be a great year,
Can’t wait to see you all on Friday,
Steve & the whole Trainwreck crew!
_____TRAINWRECK in Association with _____DEEP IN THE BOWELS OF HOUSE
_______________Present!_____________
________BUTCH -
____EYES WIDE OPEN
______ALBUM TOUR
With “no worries” being the summer hit in Ibiza and being nominated for the Pacha Award „best track Ibiza 2010“. BUTCH will release his new album “eyes wide open” and he takes his tour to Berlin, Sao Paulo, Naples and to DeepIntoTheBowelsOfHouse!
About BUTCH
Chunky name, versatile and defined sound: BUTCH spent the past three years presenting us with a constant amount of high quality output ranging throughout the different genres of electronic dance music with such an ease and passion that he has made it to be one of the most sought-after names worldwide.
After various very successful productions and remixes for internationally renowned labels such as Trapez, AFU Limited and Great Stuff the debut album entitled „Papillon“ on the latter mentioned Munich based powerhouse in autumn 2008 seemed as the only logical next step. Butch saw this album as a possibility to present his love and rich amount of ideas for all spectra of dance music from pumping peak-time Techno via smooth Tech-House to minimalist deep sound experiments. Critically acclaimed, loved by DJs it exceeded all expectations by presenting us with a timeless club-classic for your home.
Similar to his intuition whilst playing on the dance-floor, his releases always grab the nerv and vibe of the moment and not only capture his audiences, but many DJs worldwide just as well. It comes as no surprise that Butch-releases such as „Mushroom Man“ (AFU-Limited), „Earth“ (Trapez) or „Amelie“ (Great Stuff) can be found in the playlists of prominent names such as Richie Hawtin, Dubfire, Villalobos, Luciano and many others. Already his second release „On the Line“ was so successful it got him two nominations in the categories „Best Techno“ and „Best Remix Techno“ for the Beatport Music Awards 2007.
Butch’s tour calender is filled to the brim with over 100 bookings a year and living proof of his abilities as a DJ. His gigs are responsible for his enormous amount of travelling within and outside of Germany and Europe and over the last two years he has accumulated a very impressive vitae including legendary club references such as Rex (Paris), Fabric (London), Cocoon (Frankfurt),Cocorico (Riccione), Flex (Vienna), or La Terrazza (Barcelona), which have all been intrigued by his sound.
The calender in 2009 has very exciting notes on the agenda for Butch: Besides his extensive tour through dozens of countries the first 6 months will include releases on the home-base labels AFU Limited, Trapez and Great Stuff as well as the dutch label Area Remote and the Mannheim-based House imprint 8Bit. Remixes for established artists such as 2000 and One, Thomas P. Heckmann, Daso & Pawas and Ramon Tapia will also hit the floors with such an energy that his name is more than set for the year.
Big on the plan is also the collaboration with his friend and studio partner AMIR (Trapez/8Bit) not only as A&R, but also as releasing artist on the new collective called „bouq.“. The label was founded together with their friends Sebastian Lutz, Caio Duncan and a few background helpers to establish a new platform for innovative music, quality promotion, fun events and bookings.
With videos to come of what was probably the busiest weekend the POD has had this year on a Friday thanks to the Wet Yourself lads, you’ll easily be able to see how much fun we’ve all been having at Trainwreck.
Next Friday is going to be no different with Mowgli taking to the decks in the POD.
“Sometimes you ask a musician how they would describe their music, and they fire back with genre adages and babbling musical colloquy. Mowgli’s reply was “Sexy, sexy, sexy!”. You can see how this will go. It isn’t to say Mowgli is a maniacal disc jockey that mumbles irrelevant utterances when faced with genuine questions, it’s more that he takes it all with a pinch of salt. Good music talks for itself. Mowgli’s screams in your face like a pilled up clubber initiating conversation by the speakers.
The Cincinnati based DJ spent 2009 building the foundations: starting his own label (Deadfish) and initiating a staggering world tour that took him to Australia, South Africa and Brazil to name just a few. The release of his frantically paced ‘London To Paris EP’ (listen below) had Crookers declaring “Nu Scoala!”, with Mowgli showcasing his own techniques for peaks and risers in what could possibly be described as ‘bastard house’. And when I say bastard, I really just mean aggressive, but in a bandwagon genre christening manner. And to come from this sexy, sexy, sexy DJ? “Club singles coming on my label DeadFish regularly throughout 2010, plus a new single called “Can’t Stop Singing”. It’s going to be a little different from what I have done so far, it’s a bit more pop. I wanted to see if I could do a proper song… I think I can”.
Admission: 12/10 euro
Do pop in for what will no doubt be yet another quality night of music.
For those not willing to wait for next weekend to get their fix of House/Techno we’ve got Paolo Mojo playing in the pod tomorrow night (29.10.10) as well!!
The silly season is well under way and Trainwreck are here to take you all the way through to the new year. Hope to see you all soon!
Well it’s only a week away but the buzz of our new monthly guest night is really starting to kick off! We’ve only gone ahead and brought the guys from the famous WetYourSelf night at one of London’s biggest clubs Fabric over to play at Trainwreck!
It’s all kicking of on Fri Oct 22nd when alongside WYS residents Cormac, Peter Pixzel and Jacob Husley. We’ll also have Pig & Dan performing for you!
Pig & Dan have been core contenders on the underground techno scene for more than a decade now, and with their recent E.P on the newly launched WYS label, its only fitting that they’re coming along to party with the WYS lads at what will be WetYourSelf’s first appearance in Ireland.
For those that don’t know much about WYS, WYS was fuelled by their desire to create serious dance floor hedonism, yet present quality music in an unpretentious way, the notorious WetYourSelf at the internationally renowned club fabric has irrevocably changed Sunday nights in London. As briefcase-clad suits make their way to work near Farringdon on Mondays, they unknowingly walk over a banging club tucked deep underground, chock-full of fashionable club-goers still wildly clinging on to the weekend.
On a weekly basis, the artistic force behind the phenomenon, DJs and producers Jacob Husley, Peter Pixzel and Cormac, pour their energy into a packed dancefloor. Their frequent 3-way back to back sessions are legendary, with the crowd feeding off their obvious child-like excitement for the musical journey they are at the helm of.
WYS! has become the most loved underground techno and house night in London and they are now spreading their gospel with regular parties in Europe, including new residencies in Paris, Barcelona and now Dublin!
To get you in the swing of things here are a few links for you to read up on the boys and listen to some of there work.
We’re really excited about this one guys! With a new layout to the POD we’re sure you’ll have one of the best nights you’ve had in Dublin for quite some time… Pop over to our Facebook page as usual to register your interest and keep informed in the run up to this brilliant night!
