Hi there y'all. Today’s musical thrills are provided by the delightful Lan ‘Orquesta’ (also known on occasion as Orlando). This 22-year-old producer has been DJing for 5 years and has held many residencies in Dublin, including one at his own, influential ‘True Stories’ night which used to rock the teach at the Bernie Shaw. On top of dropping tropical tunes and making amazing music under the name Orquesta, Lan has recently set up the label/blog Meles Meles (www.melesmeles.net) with his Mum and Dad. This is a mix from Meles Meles of some of the music (new and old) that they have heard and liked over the last couple of weeks. 

Quizzed on the name he has chosen for the mix, Lan noted, “The Holy Trinity would be better if it was just three holy ghosts, who cares about the other two? and Byron is some other dude too. Bye"

TAF Tunes – Tuesday – Lan Orquesta – Meles Meles Radio Vol. 4 (Three Holy Ghosts and Byron)

Good morning Springfield. Serving up Thursday’s TAF tunes treat is Frankie Grimes. Frankie, in addition to producing his own tracks, is one of the more active DJs knocking about Dublin at the moment - he runs and holds residencies at both Forward/Slash (Thursdays at the Bernard Shaw) and Not Saying Boo! (a sporadic super-night fast assuming legendary status). He has shared the stage with some big names, having supported Pearson Sound, Jacques Greene, Julio Bashmore, Actress, Krystal Klear, Nguzunguzu, Onra and Toby Kaar to name but eight. In sum, the lad is a seriously good DJ and we’re delighted to have him on board for TAF tunes. Give the mix a listen and check his soundcloud for more - http://soundcloud.com/frankiegrimes

TAF Tunes - Thursday - Frankie Grimes

Hello and goodbye! It’s been a great week of TAF and we hope you’ve enjoyed this small part of it. Our final edition of TAF tunes is brought to you by TAF’s very own Mike Hennessy.  Mike is hoping to bring something ‘very accessible’ to the table with some novel (if honest, often silly) mixes. He runs and Dj’s at the Panda Party with his good buddy Max – look out for the next one in the grand social on 24th Feb. He is known to have good feet for a big man and is widely predicted to be the Fernando Morientes of the 2010’s.

This is a mix Michael did a while ago and has been heard by very few people so should serve as an adequate TAF tunes take 5. The actual mix he did for TAF could not be uploaded due to a niggly copyright detection of one of the tracks BUT if you still want to listen you can get it here – http://www.mediafire.com/?c70bn5oakl6ipnh and a tracklist here - http://soundcloud.com/michaelhennessy.

Run by students of Trinity College, Dublin, the Trinity Arts Festival is a week long, cross-campus event, running in 2012 from February 6-10. We put on practical workshops, tours, talks, concerts and exhibitions in Trinity and around Dublin City Centre over the course of the week.

For each day of the 2012 Festival, on this here website, we will be posting an original DJ mix by some of Dublin's up-and-coming DJ's/musicians. These mixes have been brewed especially for the Trinity Arts Festival 2012 and will all be available to download. We hope you enjoy these 'TAF tunes.'
