Running side by side with Decal’s legendary Phunk City and fledgling Bassbin and D1 nights. Already notorious for their respective shows on Dublin’s premier underground station Power FM, founding members D.C., Droid + Slug took pirate radio to the dancefloor, working Electronica, Techno, House, Hip-Hop, Ragga and Jungle together in full-on four deck sets. In 2002, The Fear released it’s first EP, a 12” featuring electronic works from Irish artists, Deasy, Droid and Slug, and Ambulance. This was followed by the 2 albums from Deasy, both exploring and expanding the traditional constraint of sample based instumental hip-hop. Droid and Slug continue to evolve and develop their DJng work at www.weareie.com . This year sees a return to recording activity, with the upcoming release of 2 albums from legendary Irish junglist.
