BLAWAN ! (WARP, R&S Records, HESSLE Audio) Irish Debut @ DubCulture.

DubCulture Galway Presents BLAWAN:

This really is something special to kick off the summer.

Blawan, with only one release out on Hessle Audio was jumped on my label giant R&S, who have on their roster talent such as Aphex Twin, Model 500 + James Blake. Now we have him for his first Irish appearance, DubCulture back in the driving seat!

Hessle Audio released Blawan's Fram/Iddy, which truely is a haunting, hard percussion driven beast. Check it out here, fuckin spooky!

IDDY: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8IXMTZ40Iy0&feature=related

(Buy it here http://boomkat.com/vinyl/303581-blawan-fram-iddy)

R&S then in true pioneering style jumped on the producer spotting his obvious talent, releasing the HUGE Bohla EP, which demonstrates his true diversity. My favourite, with a lovely 303 flex Bohla, HUGE!!!

WARP Records then...Jumped on the band wagon, releasing a wicked Blawan lick of THE HUNDRED IN THE HANDS - Pigeons, another favorite of mine:
