Sarsparilla
Damien Lynch AKA Sarsparilla has been producing electronic music since 1997, influenced by 80s electro and TV Shows such as The Equalizer, Airwolf, V, and many other Film and TV Soundtracks of that time. Concentrating less on software and more on outboard gear and classic drum machines, electric piano and vintage synthizers, giving a more authentic and musical feel to his own brand of Disco/Electro.
Cignol
Cignol, aka London suburbanite Paul Hammock, cut his teeth DJing with various techno sound systems around the UK, then turned to production in the late 90s and later studied sound engineering in Amsterdam. Since moving to Dublin in 2007, Cignol has been busy gigging and honing his production skills, with several well-received releases under his belt including a re-working of the ‘Crow’ album for London folk outfit Parliament Of Owls in 2009 and most recently his debut LP ‘Switching for a Living’ which is out now on Alphabet Set recordings. Cignols live show revolves around dope beats and lush melodies arranged on the fly and fitted with funk.
