Straight to the Point: Giles Armstrong
From Jeff Mills to The Brotherhood of Man, he plays it all...
Assuming something of a Don Corleone presence on Dublin’s techno scene from the beginning of this decade, Giles progressed from filling his weekly radio show on Power FM with the cream of homegrown and international names, to soon creating a club equivalent through ‘Electric City’ – one of the few groundbreaking Irish club nights of recent years. Giles’ stellar selections and smooth set building abilities have established him as one of the country’s most relevant DJs, with his services being in constant demand. Whether he’s playing ‘super clubs’ like Shine, festivals like Electric Picnic or Life, performing basement warfare at Twisted Pepper or spinning at weddings in Leixlip, Giles is always a man for the occasion.
