This is a beta of a new game and game engine being developed by Joomla Ireland and EMC23. It's based on a mafia browser game but will be expanded into a multilevel post-modern hyper universe with a heavy emphasis on creativity. The stories were written by myself and friends over the past ten years and will be starting points for various missions and will include greater depth on the characters you will meet in the game.

If you are interested in game design, interface and graphic design, audio, or scriptwriting, and wish to participate in this project then email me at This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it .

Steinski is quite simply the godfather of cut n paste. He's also got an encyclopedic knowledge of music and presents a show on WFMU. (a link in my favourites). I'm guessing not only is he a huge influence on everything I do, but on all the djs I listen to. From Coldcut, to Dj Shadow, this guy is owed a huge debt. He played 903 last year and it rocked. And now he's using an APC 40! Wicked.

April 11 – 17 I’ll be playing assorted dates in Ireland; Dublin, Galway, perhaps Cork. Keep an eye on the ChoiceCuts website for more definite info as the dates near.

We are looking for collaborators for several online projects we have on the go. If you like our work, pop in to the EMC23 Facebook Page and say Hi. We are looking for games programmers, graphic and interface designers, script writers, animators, and audio artists and technicians.

If you live in or around Galway, we are also considering some Live multimedia events, so if you are a laptop jockey or a digital artists give us a shout.

With the minimixes in full swing, and proving popular enough, we are now turning our attention to live internet performance and collaboration.

We'd be interested in meeting up with programmers, interface designers, and visual script writers from Galway over the coming months, to see what kind of project we could create with internet streaming in mind.

This is our most permanent set-up to date. It took a few months of experimenting with combinations and configurations.

What I've essential got hooked up are:

• 2 laptops (Mother and Mildred)
• the APC 40
• a Fatboy controller
• a M-audio Black Box (adds amp to any of the synths inputs)
• a JP 8000 (doubles as a midi controller for any virtual synth)
• a Novation Bass Station
• a Korg Prophecy
• a mini Korg 700 (I bought from the analog synth meister - Mal Meehan. Mal has just finished a DVD documenting JJ Perry, the legendary French synth guru).

Gone are the 2 Korgs (they both need repairs), the FW 1884, Hal the Desktop, the equalizers, the drum machines, and the Carnival Sound module.
