About Me

PLEASE DO NO SEND US REQUESTS TO LISTEN TO YOUR TUNES. WE DON'T HAVE TIME. ALL OFFENDERS WILL BE DEFENESTRATED.SiSi is Cyril Briscoe & Cian Ó Cíobháin, long-time DJs in their adopted city of Galway. Cian also presents an alternative radio show five nights a week on RTE RnaG. On An Taobh Tuathail (The Other Side), he spins every Monday to Friday from 11pm to 1am where the playlists are at his own discretion http://www.rte.ie/rnag/antaobhtuathail.htmlFrom 1998-2007, SiSi ran a very successful Saturday night club called 110th Street in their adopted town Galway. Through this seminal & much-loved club night, they carved a reputation for themselves as open-minded DJs with an interest in electronic music right across the board, from disco through house to electro and techno, always with a mind of picking the cream of the crop from all genres across the 4/4 spectrum.As promoters of 110th Street, SiSi were the first to give their Irish club debuts to Erol Alkan, 2ManyDJs, The Glimmers, Justice, Boys Noize & Housemeister and also hosted top drawer DJs such as Andrew Weatherall, Optimo, Boys Noize, The Avalanches’ DJs & Tim Sweeney (DFA).SiSi's approach to DJing is refreshingly holistic. They’ve been known to dig out vintage Abba and 70’s disco anthems at rural discotheques at the behest of handbag-wielding dolly birds, while they’re equally adept playing bleepy European techno at urban rave centres to people who don't bother going to bed at weekends.For much of 2008, SiSi hosted Saturdays @ The Cellar Underground, Galway once every three weeks, rotating with coast legends 091 and the Disconauts. Here, techno and house of different hues was mostly the order of the day, though the early bird was treated to many Balearic & Scandanavian disco gems.After a brief time-out, which was mostly spent stocking their wine cellars, SiSi have re-surfaced in 2009 to host occasional parties at Galway's Deeper venue. These parties, to the delight of the city's ravers, have been going by the name of 110th Street.For SiSi sets & podcast, checkhttp://www.sisi.tv/phpbb/viewtopic.php?t=1139.. ..
