Got A Little CaptainInYou? detail CLUBBING Derrick May / Fish Go Deep / Sneaky Sound System Without the input of Derrick May (pictured), it is arguable that techno would not have turned into a global phenomenon. The creator of timeless tracks like Strings Of Life, Icon, Nude Photo and The Dance, Mays wild primal rhythms and sweet, almost angelic melodies still sound fresh 20 years on. While May hasnt ventured back to the studio in over 15 years to emulate these masterpieces, he plans to relaunch his seminal Transmat label soon and continues to tour the world as a DJ. One of the most exhilarating, unpredictable spinners in the business, May is playing a four-hour set at Hype, so expect him to drop filtered disco, deep house and slamming techno. Tonight, Hype, PoD, Harcourt Street D2, 10pm, 16. Shane Johnson and Greg Dowlings musical selections are ingrained in the collective psyche of a generation of Irish clubbers (they were residents at the worlds longest running club, Sweat at Sir Henrys in Cork). Greg and Shanes super- smooth sets every weekend meant that deep house became the dominant soundtrack in the city for 15 years. Having inspired a slew of bedroom DJs and producers, they then moved into production and enjoyed a mainstream hit with The Cure & The Cause as Fish Go Deep. However, its as DJs that the duo still shine, and this show at Pogo is sure to be based on sensuous electronic rhythms and seamless transitions. Tomorrow, Pogo, Twisted Pepper, Middle Abbey Street D1, 11pm, 5 to 10. While they arent household names on this side of the world, Sneaky Sound System are big news in their native Australia. The act, which consists of Miss Connie, Black Angus and MC Double D, enjoyed the longest run in the Australian charts with the I Love It single, while their debut, self-titled album has gone double platinum. Straddling the world of pop and underground dance music, the act, whose origins lie in the Sneaky Sunday Club that they set up in Sydney in 2001, released their second album, 2, last year. Surely its only a matter of time before their accessible electro pop explodes in this hemisphere. Richard Brophy Tonight, Tripod, Harcourt Street D2, 11pm, 15. Friday, October 16, 2009 metrolife 15 he extends his skills to writer/director in this garbled, faux-mythic prequel set in 1431AD Thailand. You have to pinch yourself to remember that astonishing scenes like Jaa backflipping between the backs of stampeding elephants are all real lets hope the blood wasnt. A little less conversation, a little more action is a maxim many martial arts flicks should follow but here the Who? What? Why story is so ruthlessly chopped away you seriously wonder if theres a reel missing. LI-Z Katalin Varga (15) Running time: 82min Armed with a budget of 25,000 and only basic Hungarian, young British director Peter Strickland set out for Transylvania to make his first movie. At its centre is Katalin (Hilda Peter). Haunted by her violent past and with a bitter need for retribution, she sets out with her son to settle old scores. Its a universal tale of revenge, intensified by Stricklands ability to capture Romanias eerie, enigmatic quality, his sympathetic, spare dialogue and the casts effortlessness. An elegiac film that movingly reflects of Romanian rural life. Zena Alkayat in England. Hes a Muslim hip-hop artist whos collaborated with Babyshambles and Arctic Monkeys. Hes Iraqi-English, only 23 and a real force. They love him in Gaza where hip-hop is huge. The Dublin Gospel Choir are going to accompany him so it should be powerful. Whats next for Dearbhla? Im working on a documentary about elderly people in different parts of the world and Im doing a child trafficking project in Africa. But its proving a tough time for funding, so fingers crossed. The Arts Council have been good to me so far so heres hoping. Daragh Reddin Tonight, TriPod, Harcourt Street D2, 7pm, 15.

She recently left a fashion show audience in stitches as the designer she was modelling for was knocked to the catwalk floor while the pair struggled to pin up the pouty pin-ups barely-there excuse for a dress. And this week she stunned guests at the Hollywood Style Awards. Wearing a backless pink satin Vivienne Westwood, er, sheet that owed something to the Andrex puppy and a dozen loo rolls, the gusset-flashing blonde looked like shed draped herself in pigs intestines. Stylistas snarked as Pam reportedly press-ganged a recalcitrant small child into holding up the train wreck of a gowns long train. Still, the gal has a sense of humour, claiming her style icon was Humpty Dumpty and that her new perfume, available exclusively in drugstores, is the reason she smells so cheap. Class.
