This interview was recorded in Rua Red as part of a project I worked on with Al in 2018.

I got commissioned to make a work about Tallaght and Al was the first person I approached to collaborate with. Having both grown up there I thought he would be the perfect person to work on the sound design. Considering we both hadn't lived in Tallaght for years we wanted to look back on what it was like to grow up there during a certain period of time and see how it has influenced who we are. Although Al had never worked on the sound design for an art work before I knew he'd do an amazing job and I was blown away by the end product that he produced.

As part of the project, I interviewed a number of locals who'd gone onto do some great things, with Al being one of them. In this interview he talked about his early inspirations, the club nights he ran, how his music style changed throughout the years and the sense of community which developed through his nights. I have included some of the music which he talks about along with some of the tracks that he used to play. I've also included one of his own remixes and a release on his own Aciitone record label.

Al's club nights were like no other, there was an amazing atmosphere and a great sense of community and he made sure everyone felt part of that, which was something special. His sets at Acii Disco were exceptional and had an energy and vibe like no other, he was the best DJ and promoter in Dublin who brought so much joy and happiness to people. As a person he was warm, generous, caring and funny, he always had time and sound advice for people. He was a visionary and a natural leader with wisdom beyond his years, and I feel very honoured and proud to have worked with Al and to have had him as a friend, he really was one of a kind.

It's a pleasure to be able to share some of his memories in his own words.

Live @ 'Intellephunk 20', Minneapolis 4/28/18

Riccardo Villella is one of the legends behind the sick Truants site and also a DJ, producer and graphic designer - someone we've been hoping to get on our podcast series for quite some time. Having contributed mixes to the likes of Rinse FM, Upperberry, Hypnotic Groove, and Lowlife Cartel, we're well versed on his dynamic sound and conceptual approach. For podcast number 22, it's no different. Riccardo has contributed a stand-out mix which sees him explore a new sound which is more relentless than listeners may have previously known him for.

Referring to the 'Grid Cycle' concept behind the mix Riccardo says, "I wanted this to reflect a mix I did a couple of years back where it’s pretty get-go from the start and builds on that high intensity throughout. I’ve been toing and froing about creating a new alias called Grid Cycle for these types of mixes as they’re usually quite a far cry to the more four-to-the-floor house and techno mixes I have on my Soundcloud where I build from quite slow. I’m hoping this gives me a chance to play quite club orientated electro, IDM, jungle, dubstep, hardcore, and higher tempo music in general and for people to maybe associate that on any future mixes I do in this style. I fell deep into a Bandcamp wormhole with this so shout out to tracks by Local Group, KOSMODOD, Train To Eltanin, Acid Lab, Wisp, Clarity, and Varum. Also, that closer from Bot1500 is one of my fave tracks at that moment too - highly recommended!"
