Listen Up: A Race The Flux playlist
Race The Flux pick the playlist…
Galwegian electo-rockers Race The Flux are in Cork this weekend to scrub in with local sound surgeons Cove and Terriers for a Saturday night showdown on Barrack Street. The Mr. Bradley’s setlist will be dominated by tunes from recent release Dutch Buffalo but before then Joe, Paul, Ronan and Enda compiled a playlist especially for the blog.
01. 65daysofstatic – ‘Radio Protector’
This song is just beautiful. Love the piano, the build ups, the suspense. Everything!
02. Brontide – ‘Jura’
These guys are just crazy good and tight as hell. If you haven’t heard Brontide, I suggest you check them out.
03. Adebisi Shank – ‘Masa’
I love Adebisi. Such a unique sound, and also doing great things to the Irish music scene.
This track from their second album is BIG. Can’t wait for their new album.
04. You Slut! – ‘Mybloodyjesusexploreronfire’
Can’t stop listening to this song. It’s amazing – everyone should listen to this. Pretty nifty band name too.
05. Bonnie Tyler – ‘Total Eclipse of the Heart’
This song does things to me…
06. Queens Of The Stone Age – ‘If I Had a Tail’
One of my favourite new releases. Slightly different feel for Queens but works so well.
07. My Morning Jacket – ‘Highly Suspicious’
Because more people need to hear this. Ideal tune for making a show of yourself on the dance floor!
08. The Damned – ‘See Her Tonite’
I grew up with this band and in my opinion the Damned Damned Damned record is a fucking classic!
09. Pink Floyd – ‘Us and Them’
I picked this track simply because i love Dark side. This song sends shivers up my spine.
It’s haunting.
10. Mastodon – ‘The Czar’
I picked this track because of Brent Hinds. his guitar tone is absolutely incredible!
Also the solo is full of emotion. He really expresses himself.
Upcoming tour dates:
- 29th July: Bradley’s, Cork
- 3rd July: Citóg in The Cellar Bar, Galway
