909originals is FOUR! Thanks to everyone for your continued support


909originals
turns four years old today (7 July), and it’s fair to say that we’re delighted with how things have gone so far.

This past year has been anything but normal due to the coronavirus pandemic, but we’ve endeavoured to keep your spirits high with a myriad of interviews, features and even ‘Under The Stairs’ DJ sets to keep you primed for the return to the dancefloor… which will hopefully be just around the corner.

As we say every year, we’re only getting started – over the coming months and years we will continue to bring you the best of the past, present and future of electronic music.

If you enjoy any of the articles or features on the site, or you just want to help us pay our bills, you can contribute a few quid by clicking here or on the coffee cup icon in the bottom right of the screen.

Alternatively, you might be interested in buying one of our exclusive t-shirts, featuring an array of flyers from Dublin’s clubbing history (pictured), which are available for a limited time and can be purchased here or on the image shown.

In no particular order, here are some of our highlights from the past year…
