teknowarfare

Once upon a time in 2003 two techno sluts named Darkmockeray and Keylockd decided that Dublin needed a regular underground techno night, a night that would bring the people the devastating techno they needed. TEKNOWARFARE was born and started off on Thursday nights in the basement of the Parnell Mooney, with a little help from Aiden ‘Master of the Universe’ Walsh, you might know him from such hits as the ‘Hokey Kokey’ and ‘What will we do with the Community Game’s, it ran for a short time. When the boys were tired of Thursday night gigs and there lob sided sideburned friend they decicded they needed to get a weekend slot. The Belvedeer club was the venue to put on nights and thanks to some other promoter friends who gave up one of there nights they brought over D.A.V.E. the Drummer. The night was more than a success with the venue jammed to the roof and one of the best nights Dublin had seen in yonks. That was it, TEKNOWARFARE’S life in the Belvo had begun. Over the next couple of years the TW crew brought over various underground stars such as Lenny Dee, the Geezer, Dean Rodell, Rowland the Bastard, Jeff Amadeus, Slobodan etc etc etc, Aswell as giving many local talents a lash. While mainly at home in the Belvo the lads also put on some larger gigs such as a 4 deck spectacular with D.A.V.E and Chris Liberator in the Voodoo Lounge aswell as various free parties out in the stix.TW went from strength to strength and built up a very regular following over the years when in 2005 they hooked up with Neutronyx, the Psychedelic heads, to bring Dublin something new. Planet Underground 001 was held in the Vaults and boasted 4 rooms of underground sounds. The main 2 being Bangin’ Tekno and Psy and the other chill and Prog. PU was a proper minifestival with stalls performers incredible deco and lots of smiley happy heads, so many infact the doors had to shut well before midnight.TW was, is and always will be about bringing Dublin, or wherever, the best in underground techno with a great atmostphere and good people.
