continues his travels around the galaxy with the intergalactic funk of Journey To The Core Of The Unknown Sphere making an appearance on Kyle Hall's Royal Oak imprint from Detroit in between remixing Fabric Lig and preparing a full-length album for for release in 2011. You can catch SDC live over the Summer everywhere from Sonar in Barcelona to Fabric in London for what's shaping up to be a fantastic year for him...
For no particular reason, this week we'll be chatting on air about rubbish albums by great bands. Can you think of a time when one of your favourite bands dropped the ball and released a record you'd rather forget about? Have "outside influences" ever messed up an otherwise flawless career? In a nutshell - we want to hear about the time a great band did a Be Here Now!
Share via , , email or text (81771 once we get on air at 8pm)! Meanwhile, here are Team ATL's picks...
Each week on the ATL Dance show, Paul Hamill invites an illustrious luminary from the electronica scene to tip us off with their three killer new tunes.
This week's essential tracks are chosen by .
ATL Dance is broadcast on Ö÷²¥´óÐã Radio Ulster, Friday nights from midnight til 2am folks!
Yet another new act that has moonwalked onto our radar in the past twelve months and managed to cause quite a fuss in a very short space of time - .
From the North coast and related (both literally and musically) to , the noisy three piece will launch their new single with an ambitious gig in Belfast on May 5th.
Niall from the band takes time out of preparation for said gig to chat to Rigsy, if Rigsy can actually convince him he's not an imposter...
One of ATL's favourite new bands are on their way to Belfast, as part of a splendid line up presented by Annie Mac. play the on May 29th alongside Skream, and Annie herself.
Ahead of that, James Cook from the band was invited to answer questions about rave, debut albums and Iceland, free from the confines of grammar and capital letters.
It was all going so well, until he slagged off one of our own...
Yes! It's the return of our occasional Things That Make You Go Hum series that flags up lost gems... but this time, with a festival twist!
ACT: Eminem
TRACK: Superman (2002)
FESTIVAL: Oxegen
CHANCES OF HEARING IT: Reasonable - he played it last time in Punchestown...
Following on Saturday past, ATL has been reminiscing about the days when people actually walked into shops and picked up something physical to build a record/CD collection, rather than trawling download sites to fill the hard drive on their laptop. But let's not get into a debate about how people buy their music as that could well end in tears. Instead we're celebrating album artwork - CD and record covers that are so pretty they actually add to the experience of enjoying the music within. Think of albums like Primal Scream's Screamadelica (so good it recently turned up on a stamp), Nirvana's Nevermind or Blur's Parklife - just three albums with artwork now described as iconic.
So today we'd like to know about your favourite album artwork. Share via , , email or text (81771 once we get on air at 8pm)! Here's team ATL's picks...
The Jane Bradfords are one of the most discussed Northern Irish acts of the last few years, off the back of some memorable live turns and an eponymous debut album which wasn't afraid to be a little bit different. The band, which is essentially local DJ and man about town Deci Gallen and his friends, is in the process of making a return.
But before a gig at the Speakeasy in Belfast next week, there's the small matter of speaking to our Rigsy on MSN, about sunshine and beer...
2:00pm Rigsy says: deci gallen of the band the jane bradfords how are you
2:01pm Deci says: I'm good. what's this about?
It's just occurred to us that, with the line ups for and being announced recently, it may look like we've forgotten all about our very own , taking place in Draperstown this July.
As if! We're just waiting, like everyone else, for some news on the line up for what is set to be their biggest event to date. In the meantime though, a little speculation.
Tonight's suggestiON-AIR then, is even more straight forward than usual. We'd like to know which Northern Irish band you would like to see headling Glasgowbury 2010. Let us know via , , email or (once we're on air text - 81771)
Here's a few bands definitely in the running (please note ATL has no idea at this point, this is all pure speculation. And yes, I know we've left out Lafaro and ASIWYFA. THERE'S JUST TOO MANY BANDS!
Nik Muzka is in the hot seat this week, insisting that you needs these bits & pieces in your life...
CLUBS
Saturday, 8th May: DJ Food @ The Black Box, Belfast
One of Ninja Tunes finest DJs will be playing Black Box as part of the Cathedral Quarter Arts Festival line up. I've been a fan of Ninja Tune for almost 2 decades and DJ Food is always worth checking out and anyone who saw his live AV set last year at Trans will know what this.
Sometimes these vaugely silly Q&A's work really well, the odd time they make for pretty grim reading. On this occasion, wee freckly Roddy Womble, from the most scandalously underrated Scottish band of all time (that'll be )... well, he doesn't seem up for this much, does he? Maybe he'd just woke up. Anyway,Ìýif his band were'nt all types of awesome we'd probably declare him to be a grumpy wee blighter...

Hello there Roddy, this is ATL. How the Dickens are you right now at this very second?
I am fine thank you.
Why the heck should we give a stuff about your gig at the Stiff Kitten in Belfast then ;) ?
I'm not asking you to. Don't come if you don't want to. If you do decide though, a full venue is always better than an empty one. So that's worth bearing in mind.
, or 'Paul' to those who know him that little bit better, is one of a collective of DJs and producers in Northern Ireland doing something a little bit different. Like his fellow residents at monthly club night , De-Twist is all about the bass. He's also about pushing boundaries and making electronic music that rebels against predictable minimal techno or lazy house, by just being that little bit more... interesting.
Ahead of what will no doubt be another rib-shattering, sweaty, sell-out at Ecker this Friday, the man himself was subjected to an MSN chat with our Rigsy...
Easter Monday has now firmly established itself as Northern Ireland's official day of rave as, for whatever reason, the country's club promoters seem to pull out all the stops to put on mammoth bills on this night of the year. DJ Yoda, Eric Prydz, Steve Angello, Dubfire, Alex Metric and Sven Vath (amongst many others) are all set to wreck various venues across the province this evening, so get involved!
So today we're talking rave anthems, or at least electronic tracks guaranteed to get you to the dancefloor. The ATL team picks follow, but feel free to argue, discuss, agree and most importantly, suggest your own entry for the tune guaranteed to get you moving like a buffoon.
