Arveene (Clampdown/Underwater/The End)
The major buzz currently surrounding young Arveene is easy to explain,he has been hard at it since he was just 17 playing Dublin’s mostseminal clubs, although only a nipper he showed huge promise from theoff with a very dedicated and professional work ethic that set himapart from his peers, not to mention a natural flair for music and moreimportantly knowing what makes people rock without relying on big tunesand obvious choice records, in short.. he got the skills to pay thebills.
Lets take it to 2006…
Arveene makes the decision to get into the studio and start making hisown music, he knocks out 2 bootlegs and suddenly the world islistening. Tours with The Prodigy and blows the place away every time.Soulwax get wind of the new kid on the block and ask him to join themon their stage at Hi Fi UK. Gets offered a residency in The End afterhis debut performance, plays there for Underwater, Bugged Out and ErolAlkan, things move up a level.
After a series of club dates across UK and Europe he founded musiccollective Clampdown which is primarily about good music from allgenres in various venues, the emphasis is on quality and not currenttrends or fads. Clampdown hits London's famous Lock Tavern in Camdenwith a bang, first party had Arveene, Andrew Weatherall, James Lavelleand David Holmes rocking the rafters, attendees included Primal Scream,Radioslave, Dave Dorrell and Radiohead producer Nigel Godrich (alldancing)
