Dear, dear, we will need the disco dust to settle on that one before we recap properly in a few days. All the effort on the outfits completely blew our minds. ❤️

The lady in the lampshade, truly deserves group guest comps for Boxing night, when we return to the mighty Shorts Recreational. Please pm us.

TNI003 Test Pressings just in. 👀

This is the first single to be taken from the forthcoming The Night Institute album by Timmy Stewart & JORDAN NOCTURNE, who promise a range of original music you could expect to hear across a night at TNI.

TNI - Dun Dun Heyabi - The Night Institute Vol 3

Timmy & Jordan’s debut single together as TNI is a raucous percussive club weapon designed by The Night Institute residents to reflect the pair’s shared history & energy as DJs.

First up on remix duties is . The Dublin-born, DFA mainstay cranks the energy right up, driving things further forward with punchy drums and bright insistent synths built for the peak of the night.

Irish collective L.A. DYSTO have been on a roll recently, with their unique brand of chugged out electronics. Here they get psychedelic, dubbing out the vox and adding a driving hypnotic bassline.

The finale belongs to fellow Belfast artist Viperpatrol バイパーパトロール, who strips the track back to its bare bones and heads off on a tripped out breakbeat mission with even more middle-eastern twists.

A full irish with eastern promise!

This Saturday at Ulster Sports Club, Timmy Stewart welcomes Viper Patrol to join him for an all night set.

With decades of musical history between them under their Jet Project guise, the duo have released on seminal labels while playing at festivals and clubs across Europe, while simultanously driving forward with an array of solo projects. Residencies at Shine, Yello and Stiff Kitten were influential to a generation of DJ's and clubgoers, all the time juggling remixes for the likes of Two Lone Swordsmen & Louie Vega and collaborating with legends like Robert Owens.

Decades later, John's Viper Patrol project and Timmy's Black Bones outings continue to push boundaries, and this Saturday they re-unite for a rare all night long session.

Expect a deep dive through past, present and future house, techno and electronics.
