With Roger Sanchez on the menu for this bank holiday weekend in Dublin. We thought a special mix from him would be a nice way to give you a taste of what he has in store for Irish clubbers. Roger played The Wright Venue back in November 2010 with support from local talent, it was a night to remember by all accounts & the facts speak for themselves, he’s back again to spin his magic.

Roger Sanchez hails from Queens, New York & has been DJ’ing since the late 1980′s. Roger refuses to be pigeon holed into one genre or style of music but he gained world wide recognition for his “release yourself concept” which has developed into an award winning radio show as well as a clubbing concept & CD mix series.

Here is a mix from Roger which was recorded in the famous “Space” in Ibiza. Enjoy

On Sunday May 15th, the Irish Youth Music Awards finals will take place in Liberty Hall, Dublin.

The IYMA’s is an all inclusive music based project for 12 to 19 year olds, held across Ireland, including Northern Ireland, and greater Dublin area.

Engaging with over 15,000 kids at local level, the IYMA’s core aim is to give young musicians and those interested in working in the music business, the opportunity to develop their creative and collaborative skills and access the knowledge and advice of some of Ireland’s most respected music industry professionals, including Willie Kavanagh – EMI Records / Jackie Hayden – Hot Press Magazine / Liza Geddes – Friction PR / Alan Hennessey – Rapture Records / Will Ryan – Manager Ollie Cole / Mick Quinn Photography / Young DJ Academy / Liam McCormack RTE TV / and a host of special guest well known musicians.

The end goal of the participating regions is, through a unique combination of Live Performance, and back-room teamwork, to bring home The Irish Youth Music Award 2011. Along with the accolade of becoming the holders of the Irish Youth Music Awards 2011, all of the team members from the successful region will then get to record a fully professional album of their own material, produced and mixed by some of Ireland’s most experienced producers and engineers.

This year the Young DJ Academy will host a dj workshop at the awards & provide a recording facility for the bands to lay down a quick recording of their choice.
