Project 82 is a series of intimate live performances recorded in a home studio, based in the heart of Dublin City. We’ve been working to create a platform for emerging talent with original music to record with our in-house sound engineer Anna Brizay, while behind the lens is Nathan Dunne our in-house cinematographer.

Encompassing all genres of music Project 82 wants to become the number one showcase for homegrown Irish talent and the go-to Youtube channel for people looking to hear something fresh. All the artists that have been involved have loved the experience and have been happy with the quality content we released. We hope artists/bands of any kind will approach us...if we like it we’ll record it.

In our current series, each act performs three songs in the musical wonderland that is the living room of apartment 82. We have had the privilege of working with some amazing up and coming artists some of which are Orchid Collective, Cian Rock, Josh Gray and many more...

For the moment this is a non-profit organization, we recently set up a crowdfunding via Patreon where people can donate per video and in return, we reward our pledgers. Any of the money we do make on this will go towards improvements for the project like acoustics, microphones, lighting etc..

You can stay updated with all the upcoming episodes on our Instagram, Facebook and Twitter pages, we also have a SoundCloud that features all songs recorded in the series. Visit our website for all other information.

If you are an artist with original music and would like to be featured on our show, please contact us at [email protected] with a link to your music, we would love to hear from you.

Darktown are a Sligo/Leitrim band who hit the Sligo music scene like a Grenade. Part post-punk revival, part neo-psychedelica, Fans of Darktown are familiar with their ‘groove-noir’ style, woven-through with bleak, folk lyricism.

For the unanointed: each Darktown track creates a sonic landscape populated by a strange cast of characters. Unhinged preachers, moonstruck lovers, and lost souls abound.

Declan Drohan, dark balladeer and lead vocalist with the group, says that their EP ‘Deepwater Quay’ was “a statement of intent”. He describes their latest album release, ‘Machinery of Night’, as being “more sonically diverse” with a “broader palette of sound and rhythm” featuring “elements of dub and electronica”.

Reviewer Tony Floyd Kenna described Darktown as having “great songs” with “musical arrangements that allow the stories to breathe and develop”. The wild energy of their anarchic live performances has to be seen to be believed.

When making The Date it was imperative for us to find the right elements to bring the script to life. You can imagine our excitement when we were directed towards the music of Darktown. Their music is an integral part of the film. It helps create the atmosphere, the mood, it ushers us through the story.

The guys in Darktown have now been kind enough to make all four original songs used in The Date available for free download.

To quote our sound mixer Carl "These guys are great. Like the Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds of Sligo".

Get your free Darktown download here:

The line-up is Declan Drohan on lead vocals and guitar; Donal Adams on keyboards, vocals, and guitar and beats; and John Daly on guitar, effects and atmospheres and drum programming..
