African Fiction – techno, techno, techno

What you may need to know…

01. African Fiction is the new nom-de-beats of former Agitate the Gravel/Elastic Sleep man Chris Somers, now holding it down as the events man at Cork’s PLUGD Records.

02. Trading shoegaze for techno, Somers utilises live synths, drum machines and guitar pedals, investing his new project with a similar density.

03. Streaming above is a sampler of what can be expected from African Fiction, in an as-yet untitled eight-minute piece.

04. Catch him this Saturday at the Triskel’s TDC space, with a live set. DJ support from OutOut, kickoff at 10.30. €4 in.

Verdict: A new chapter for one of Cork music’s hardest-working folk, with no-nonsense, ambient yet layered electronics that ought to translate well to the live stage.

In 2016, Twitter was where it happened with events breaking in real time across the world and in Ireland. From the largest sporting events of the year including #Rio2016 and #Euro2016, to the surprising political results with #Brexit and #Trump, 2016 also saw an outpouring of love using the hashtags #Prince #MuhammadAli #RIPAxel and #Bowie.
