I feel like I have been waiting all my life to say this so let me write it on caps: WE ARE THROWING A BOAT PARTY!!!!!!!! YES! That’s right! Next Dalston Club is gonna be ON A BOAT! Picture this: 60 people on a boat going around London canal, dancing to the best RnB, Hip Hop and House music, showing off their Dalstoness while watching the sunset and drinking beer. Sounds amazing, right? :’ ) The plan in depth: Party will be on the 16th of May (Saturday) and will be on for 4 hours. The boat will open at 6pm, depart at 6.30pm and will ride everyone from Paddington to Regent Park, London Zoo, Camden Lock and then to Paddington again. We specially picked this time slot so we could have daylight as well as see the sunset on our way back. Also as said, during all this time we will have our always carefully curated DJs playing the best tunes. There you have it. That’s the plan. Here is the line-up we got for this evening: Sally Love https://soundcloud.com/sallylove-1 Our techno muse. There is nothing else we want to see but our finest lady on her high heels getting on board of the boat. Yes Sally! Sebastian&Sebastian https://soundcloud.com/sebastianamandus We got two Sebastians here. One is a very Hip Hop focused guy. The other is a bit into more weird stuff as well as classic Hip Hop beats. They’ll be doing a B2B session that will mix the best of both tastes. Lil Tildz Last time she played she turned Dalston Club in a boiler room… at 9pm! So imagine what she can do on a boat. Expect the sweetest RnB and Hip Hop. One more DJ is TBC soon. Important stuff: for this one you actually need to buy a ticket! Why!? Well, renting a boat is NOT for free!! We’ll be releasing tickets this week, so stay tuned. Prices will be like follow: Early bird: 15 pounds Regular ticket: 20 pounds Late ticket: 22.50 pounds Tickets are VERY limited (60 in total) and early birds are even MORE limited, so you better keep an eye on this space. Sooooo excited about this. I can’t wait to see that Dalston Club flag hanging from the boat. Could we just jump to the 16th of May NOW please???

Tomorrow is gonna be an exciting day as we are kicking off our first edition of Dalston Club gigs. 

One of the bands playing will be Michael Tyrie and we asked him some questions so you can get to know him better.

1. Introduce yourself: where are you from? What do you do for life?

Originally from Perth, Western Australia, living in London for 2 and a bit years now. My money earner is an audio visual project manager job for a small av installation company

2. When did you start making music?

I started classical guitar lessons at 9 yo and I use to play around and improvise my own stuff. I lost interest in guitar and was more into basketball and skateboarding. Then about 13/14 yo I was introduced to nas' stillmatic, jay-z reasonable doubt, biggie and all other great hip hop and so I popped down to my local Dick Smith's ( the equivalent in UK is Dixons...) and bought a $15 microphone that you can plug straight into your computer using a 1/4 inch jack to 3.8mm jack adapter. Then I started trying to rap and sing along to free beats I downloaded on a particular website I can even remember the name of now! Later on I started making beats with sonic foundry ACID Pro and Fruity Loops.

3. Tell us about "Talking To Bow Garage", your first LP. How was the process? Did you record it yourself?

Yeah I recorded and mixed it myself. Some of those songs have been around for 2 years, others where sort of written really quickly over 1-2 months. The main idea behind these tunes were to create beat-driven, sample-laded music with pop vocal melodies which sound more structured and sampled, more like rap verses or vocal stabs and loops then traditional vocal performances that evolve and build from start to finish. I was rally inspired by Panda Bear, specifically how sonically he works in a boundless way dispite being a "solo" artist which worked well as I was exiled from the UK for 6 months last year haha! Of course there is some traditional song structure stuff on there too that made it on. 

4. Did moving to London influenced "Talking To Bow Garage"? Did the English weather or music scene have anything to do with your style?

Yeah moving has been an influence definitely. The opening track National Rail was inspired by my commute from Stoke Newington to the city way back in 2012. In general, moving away or getting away is definitely something I'm interested in.  I'm less sure about the weather influence haha perhaps subconsciously. And the music scene, only in so much as sporadically catching the odd gig but usually they were bands from other parts of the UK or abroad so yeah Im not sure about scenes, does London have a music scene? haha 

5. How is your set up gonna be for Dalston Club gig?

I'll be running a guitar and vocals through a a trusty roland sampler, and recording loops and triggering off different beats and samples on the fly. Really looking forward to this one, should be radical! :) See Michael Tyrie playing live tomorrow Wednesday 21st of January at Dalston Club gigs. For more info here.

We asked Dear Tomas some questions about his first gig at Dalston Club next Wednesday.

1. Introduce yourself: where are you from? What do you do for life?

My name is Thomas and I write music under the artist name Dear Tomas. I’m from Gothenburg on the west coast of Sweden but have been living in London since 2012. When I’m not writing music I work as digital designer.

2. Who is behind Dear Tomas? Is it a personal project or is it more like a band?

Dear Tomas is a project that is just in it’s infant state and at the moment it’s driven by myself alone with some additional help from my friend David during live performance. For this project I’ll probably stick to writing music by myself, although I would definitely be up to co-producing at some point to get some fresh perspective on my songs. 

3. Is there any release date for your first EP/LP? What can we expect from your music?

Working full time and writing music on the side always makes setting deadlines tricky. I’m planning to release something this year but can’t be more specific than that right now. At the moment I’m balancing the sound which is mostly analog with some electronic sounds. I’m slowly starting to find a sound that I can identify with which is really exciting.

4. How is it to create music in London compared to Gothenburg? Did it influence you somehow?

Moving to London was a big decision in my life and it has definitely changed me as a person to some extent. I’m sure it has affected my song writing as well but I haven’t thought about it much yet. I was tired of playing in rock bands when I left Sweden and my taste in music shifted during that time. I think that urge to do something different and change in musical taste were bigger influences in my writing than the change of environment.

5. How is your set up gonna be for Dalston Club gig?

The set will be short and sweet. This will be the first time I play the songs live and the first time ever I play with backtracks. Mine and David’s guitars as well as the vocals and the backtracks will all be processed by my laptop. Fingers crossed everything will work.

More info about Dear Tomas' gig at Dalston Club here.

And listen to his first EP teaser here.
