David Rodigan David Rodigan
Literally a walking encyclopedia of Reggae and Dancehall music and its history and effect on the music industry, David’s passion for the music cannot be challenged. With his highly energetic sets on Kiss fm and Sound clashes around the world, the hairs on the back of your neck will literally stand on end as he recounts his favourite sounds and stories.
David will be dj-ing in the Sugar Club later on in the evening.

Originally from Dublin but now residing in Berlin, David O’ Reilly’s challenging work with both film and digital film is difficult to categorize but inspiring nonetheless. Abstract, nostalgic and yet modern, he recently won a Golden Bear for his piece “Please Say Something”.

This May we see the long awaited arrival of 4 new t-shirts. And this time it’s an all star lineup from far and wide. We have t-shirts by artists from Ireland, New York and Canada. In no particular order we are so chuffed to finally have a t-shirt from Marc Johns. If you don’t know his stuff you really should check out his incredible drawings.
