The Hive @ Róisín Dubh
Thu, Nov 14, 2013
THE HIVE clubnight, with 110th St DJs Cyril Briscoe and Cian Ó Cíobháin returns to the Róisín Dubh tomorrow from 11pm.
The Hive focuses on club classics from various eras rather than focus on the fresh four-to-the-floor produce. As a result, Cian and Cyril will run riot through their record collections to spin disco, house, hip-hop, Italo, post-punk, new wave, lost classics, and current anthems. Expect to hear Animal Collective, Ikonika, Green Velvet, Cerrone, Late Nite Tuff Guy, and The Fall.
