ULRA-SONIC
ULTRA-SONIC were during the late 90’s without doubt the No.1 band in Scotland and the only Scottish dance band to have been invited to headline two massive tours of Australia. They are also the only Scottish dance band to gig in Germany two weekends out of every month. (80 gigs at the last count) and who have been described by the head of Low Spirit as "the best dance band in the world".
In February 1992, the band signed a management deal with Bill Grainger Management (a division of CLUBSCENE - Scotland’s highly respected monthly dance music magazine " and you’re reading this on our new online service) This resulted in them being signed to CLUBSCENE RECORDS and led to their first record, "Obsession" being released. The track was written and produced by the boys themselves and recorded in WET WET WET’s "Pet Sounds" studio in Glasgow. Rodger and Mallorca have both continued to write and produce all of their own material.
"Obsession" was released during November 1992 and sold over 6,000 copies in Scotland alone before being deleted, so that it could be included in the exceptionally successful ESSENTIAL CLUBSCENE Vol.1 compilation album.
The group released their second single. "The Pulse" on 7th April, 1993 which went on to sell over 10,000 units. The third single "Arpeggio / Annihilating Rhythm Pt.1 & Pt.2" was released in October 1993 and entered the UK National Independent record sales chart staying there for some six weeks. Sales to date, which have been mainly in Scotland, are fast approaching the 21,000 mark, and are testament to the bands growing and ever increasing popularity. This track was licensed to LOW SPIRIT/POLYDOR in Germany and to date has sold a massive 56,000 units in that territory alone! Several of ULTRA-SONIC’s tracks are also featured on numerous European, Australian, Japanese and UK compilation albums.
On the 20th December 1993, ULTRA-SONIC released a full length video containing footage of their recent gigs, by the 24th December - four days later - all 6,500 copies of the video had been sold. In some of the main stores in Glasgow, the video was outselling the Disney "Jungle Book" video.
Noted for their incredible ‘high-energy’ charged performances, ULTRA-SONIC have topped the bill at almost all of the biggest dance events in Scotland including: FANTAZIA, REZERECTION, EURODANCE, STREETRAVE & REVOLUTION, not to mention selling out the prestigious GLASGOW BARROWLANDS venue on a number of occasions
ULTRA-SONIC were voted ‘BEST NEW BAND’ in the 1992 Scottish Dance Music Awards and "Obsession" was voted ‘2nd BEST NEW SINGLE’. In 1993 they were voted ‘BEST SCOTTISH DANCE BAND’ in the M8 Magazine Awards; and ‘BEST SCOTTISH BAND’ in Radio Forth’s "Steppin’ Out" Dance Awards. The single "Annihilating Rhythm" was voted ‘BEST SINGLE’ of 1993. Last year the band were also voted ‘BEST PA’ by the national magazine DISCO CLUB INTERNATIONAL.
In polls held in Scotland and Northern Ireland, the band were acclaimed both the ‘BEST BRITISH DANCE BAND’ and the ‘BEST DANCE BAND IN THE WORLD!’ The band also topped the bill at the prestigious MAYDAY event in Dortmund, Germany where they appeared in front of some 3000 people and as a result they now spend two weekends every month appearing at various clubs and events all over Europe including some of the former ‘Iron Curtain’ countries such as Hungary and Poland.
ULTRA-SONIC made a return visit to Australia in June of 1995 during which they appeared to ‘full-houses’ in Sydney, Brisbane, Perth, Melbourne & Adelaide.
In August the group appeared at the prestigious DANCE MATRIX ‘95 in Tokyo, Japan where they supported THE PRODIGY, the concert was recorded and subsequently aired for Japanese network television. Their first album "TEKNO JUNKIES" has just been released in Japan by AVEX RECORDS. Also in August they were voted the best band to appear in Northern Ireland, at the ETERNITY Northern Ireland Dance Awards show, with the event being broadcast on the dance music programme BPM throughout the ITV networks.
In line with their continued plan of ‘global domination’ the band made their live debut in the United States in October 1995, where they stormed both the PALLADIUM and LIMELIGHT clubs in New York with stunning and highly charged performances, an incredible achievement for a relatively unknown British band, and what’s even more incredible is that they’ve already been booked to return to the same venues in February of 1996.
Now in 2004 ULTRA-SONIC continue to win over new fans at every gig that they perform at A UK tour is currently being planned followed by further appearances at some major events in Germany and Australia. New Single 'Angels (In My Dreams)' will be released by Clubscene in June 2004.
LIQUID
If there’s one track that defined the early 1990s rave scene and wound its way into the collective consciousness, it’s Liquid’s seminal ‘Sweet Harmony’. An irresistible layering of classic house over rolling, breakneck beats; it has stood the test of time to become a record box or digital staple of DJs up and down the country, and all over the world.
Not bad for a track that was recorded for £80, self-financed and distributed from the boot of his car. The man behind Liquid is Eamon Downes. Following the explosive success of ‘Sweet Harmony’ in 1992, after he and Shane Heneghan signed to XL Recordings, they then released the pioneering and experimental Future Music EP, which included the dark, atmospheric and breakbeat dub classic ‘Liquid is Liquid’.
Following Shane’s departure from the band, Eamon’s reputation for producing challengingly alternative floorfillers was cemented with ‘Time to Get Up’ and the Balearic-tinged, flamenco guitars of ‘One Love Family’. Both of which were Mixmag Singles of the Week.
Liquid have, with Top 20 singles in the UK and numerous hits in Europe, achieved huge commercial success while maintaining critical acclaim. 2017 saw the sold-out, limited vinyl release of the slamming new album ‘Energy Flows’ with more new music in 2018 including the limited Mitsu EP, which was Top 5 in the national vinyl single charts, and a sold-out EP for the renown Kniteforce label.
Having made a name on the international scene for amazing live shows, Liquid continues to DJ and play live at festivals and clubs across the world.
LAYNEE - FLASHBACK RESIDENT DJ
Female DJ from Dublin, Ireland breaking the mould. I like to play darker and harder sounds but with melodies & interesting breaks & riffs. I have an eclectic mix of music in my collection but I generally gravitate towards the harder beats. I'm a vinyl lover so a lot of my mixes are vinyl only. I have played major venues such as Hangar, Opium, the Guinness Storehouse, the Button Factory, The Grand Central, The Grand Social alongside 808 State, Mr C, Judge Jules, Anne Savage, Allister Whitehead, K-Klass & Rozalla. I have also DJed with Irish dance music legends incl. Mark Kavanagh, Dean Sherry, Paddy Sheridan, Warren K, Pat Hyland and female techno starlets Cailin & Eavan as well as live act NANCY. Last year i played my first festival at Clonmel Greyhound Stadium called MASS to a sell out crowd on the Phever Dome stage and a few weeks ago placed my first ever headline show to a sell out crowd in Limerick which were bonkers!!! My biggest gig to date was closing the Button Factory @ Shades Of Rhythm for the Flashback crew which was amazing!!! I also co-host a show on Phever FM called 'Girls on Top' monthly on Fridays 6-8pm in Dublin (94.3fm) and also on Facebook & YouTube livefeeds if you'd like to have a listen. Hope you enjoy
CHRIS D - FLASHBACK RESIDENT DJ
Resident Flashback DJ Chris D has been on the Irish music scene since the early 80’s. Chris D was instrumental in the foreground and the background of the Irish Dance scene from its conception and his hard work helped lay the foundation for the dance scene we enjoy today. People who used to go to the brilliant Waterfront / Columbia Mills will remember Chris who played every Thursday for several years, he has also regularly guested in the all the top clubs, Kitchen, the Ormond and Temple Theatre. PA’s Dundalk and numerous other places and has supported the Cream of DJ';s as Ian Ossia from Renaissance and Manchester legendary DJ Nipper and most recently the godfather of Rave, DJ Slipmatt and 808 State. Chris has also supported the legendary SL2 and Q-Sound as well. The familiar face behind the counter of Outlaw records and the founder of One Cut Studios Dublin’s first DJ studio, Chris was also part of the Inner conscience Crew that brought us the Irish records, Moonboom Jacobs ladder and the Garden of Eden parties. Chris’s skilful hands on mixing style needs to be seen and his tune selection is second to none.
The major part that Chris has played on the Irish dance scene not only in the foreground like most other DJs but his hard work and dedication behind the scene must be acknowledged and its fitting and deserved that he have the title Irish Dance Music Legend.
DOT-EM
Dot-E M (aka Daithí Mac An Mháistir) is our DJ competition winner. A life-long lover of dance music – especially dancing to it 😃 - he only recently started playing around again with music having first learned to mix on Synergy 1210 CDJs (pre-jog wheels 😱) some 20 years ago. A huge Liquid fan, he is delighted to be warming up for the great Eamon Downes. He is also glad he is on first so he can go mental for the rest of the night
