Number Key4050 tracks within the public area in December 2018: zero. Number by February this yr… 32. How so? Well, in a single type or one other, they’ve been in manufacturing for sixteen years.
As many the world’s actually excellent golf equipment have a behavior doing, Dublin’s the Temple Theatre turned a lightning rod for embryonic digital music expertise. Post-millennium, it acted as a beacon for a brand new rising wave Irish DJs, who – congregating within the former church’s Space and Crypt clubfloors, had been musically schooled by a succession celebrity DJs.
A temple in each sense, it was there in 2002 that the paths native Dublin lad Bryan Kearney and John O’Callaghan from up the highway in Navan, first crossed. An on the spot musical connection made, afterhours the pair would repeatedly head to John’s makeshift studio at his condo within the metropolis’s south internal metropolis.
To achieve entry to that condo complicated, a gate code was required. That code was Key4050.
Key4050’s musical lineage was influenced by a quantity producers, however none extra so although than Mauro Picotto and his inimitable BXR sound. “Like a god” is how John describes the genre-fusing Italian and his productions had been repeatedly dissected by the duo within the post-Temple hours.
In 2003, on the peak the Temple’s success (“the very best clubbing experiences my life” attests O’Callaghan), restoration prices calamitously pushed it into closure. Whilst mourning its loss, conversely it additionally spurred an impetus in a brand new wave rising DJ/producers. They went on to recast Irish digital music in their very own picture.
With the membership taking part in essentially the most basic components in fomenting their careers, John and Bryan lengthy regarded for a solution to pay dues to it. The answer lay on exhausting drives, some relationship again effectively over a decade. There, amongst dozens upon dozens demos, concepts, half-completes and all-but-there works lay the musical essence their Temple experiences. So Bryan and John went to work ending a job that – on the time – they didn’t even know they’d begun.
Last Friday we noticed that resolve en masse. ‘Tales Of The Temple’ is an all-in-one distillation, summation and celebration a sound that reconnected the sundered worlds techno and trance. To accompany its launch John and Bryan revisited their Dublin haunts to recall these origin moments. Shadowed by a movie crew, Tales From The Temple – The brings the mission’s backstory to life, recalling on the similar time maybe essentially the most electrifying interval in Irish clubbing historical past.
