Pioneering DJ for Kelly's Bar

GROUND-BREAKING producer and DJ Tom Middleton plays Kelly’s Bar, Bridge Street on Friday, November 27.

The British born Middleton, who is a classically trained musician, has worked with friends and artists such as Ulrich Schnauss and Aphex Twin and has DJd alongside bands and artists as varied as Duran Duran, Mark Ronson and Faithless.

In 2009 alone, he has reworked Razorlight, Orbital, The Verve, Florence & The Machine, and Maximo Park.

Middleton is renowned worldwide for his projects like Global Communication, Jedi knights, Cosmos, Amba and others, and he has been responsible for landmark productions, compilations and essential mixes.

As a DJ he’s performed in almost every corner of the globe, sometimes to crowds as large as 150,000. With his trademark widescreen musical repertoire, he spent years championing styles long before they were the norm, helping Ulrich Schnauss develop his career and hosting Hot Chip and Mylo’s festival debut appearances.

From ambient to drum and bass, techno to rock n’ roll, Middleton’s attention to detail allows him to find connections between the most disparate forms of music, uniting many genres with technical skill, and utilising all manner of technologies.

His versatility has seen him remix a variety of artists from Prince to Kylie Minogue, from Goldfrapp to All Saints.

Admission to Kelly’s is €5 before 12 and €8 after, and tickets are on the door only.
