One of my favourite 'alternative' hip hop artists Josh Martinez is going on a European Tour with Ireland's very own DJ Flip. Sadly Flip couldn't convince Mr Martinez to play on our shores this summer but if you happen to be travelling Europe this summer and Flip is in town, make sure to pass by!

Make sure not to miss the US Vs Ireland Hip Hop night at Eamon Doran's 12th July. The 20e door price should be well worth the money with such a strong line-up. Imagine Jada & Styles going back to back with Nu-Centz and Jonny Boy. Frank Jez and DJ Ahmed will also be on the decks holding it down for the night alongside DJ Eddy.

The Irish Time's recently reviewed The Infomatic's last performance,
"A three-pronged attack led by the Cool Kids was kicked off in rare fashion by The Infomatics, a rap electronica outfit playing on home soil.
The bristling rapping of the two MCs, Konchus Lingo and Mr Dero was counterpointed by grooving bass and samples and some tight, fluid drumming with more than a hint of Jazz by Jorge Laguna"
