New shows on ddr (Summer 2026): Meet our new residents
Introducing the new ddr. residents who joined our roster this summer.
We had so many amazing applications this time around so thank you to everyone who took the time to apply. We have over 20 new shows for you to check out.
This wave features everything from Irish rap, sound art and guitar music to morning chats, gig guides and deep dives on the influences from LCD Soundsystem’s track ‘Losing My Edge’.
Check out our list of new shows below, with more new shows to be announced shortly:
Unclaimed Land
Long time friends and collaborators Ahmed, With Love., Rory Sweeney and Curtisy delve into the weirder currents of the rap underground and beyond. Outsider trap, haunted electronics, Dream Pop, Irish rap, DJ Screw, Drake, no stones are left unturned.
Morning Glory
Expect some chat, silliness and warm ambient sounds. Moving through electronic, folk, dad classics and Irish trad - we’ll end on a high together to start the day right.
Out Out w/ Dylan Summerly
The only companion guide you need to the latest and greatest goings on in Dublin and beyond.
Dusty Records
Dusty Records is a hauntological and surreal blend of dusty, downtempo music and nostalgic pop culture soundbites, creating a liminal, lo-fi, Lynchian aesthetic. Expect ambient soundscapes, vaporwave, lo-fi, balearic, dusty house & leftfield electronic music – all with roots in the underground.
La Métamorphose
An eclectic mix of experimental, sound-art, folk, jazz, spoken-word, electronic, cult indie, and more. Focusing on the sensual, sublime, and strange. Selected by Irish artist/musician Katie Gerardine O'Neill.
Losing My Edge
Over 20 years since the release of LCD Soundsystem's dance-punk anthem, "Losing My Edge" still retains its self-deprecating, "serious as a heart attack” sentiment. This show is a deep dive into the 49 name checked bands to explore the frontman's taste in 'cool' pretentious bands.
Crème de la Shrem
A monthly sonic kaleidoscope of genres, decades, styles and regions - united by an ethos of eclecticism and diversity. From obscure gems and lost classics to unapologetic guilty pleasures, each show serves up a passionate mix of muso deep-dives, nerdy rankings and a whole lot of obsessive enthusiasm.
AFTER EIGHT OH EIGHT
AFTER EIGHT OH EIGHT is a music and chats show hosted by Giita Hammond, for people who are nerdy about music, who like to discover new or old tunes and dance around in their kitchen. Expect everything from dreamy slow tempo bangers, Italo disco, house, electro, 90’s acid house to techno.
mindmoss
Mindmoss is a music show shaped by mood rather than genre. Moving freely across styles and eras, it offers gentle refuge for busy minds, difficult moments, and anyone who has ever needed a softer way to exist for a while. Curated by Serdih.
Early Riser Radio
Early Riser is a morning show with a focus on interaction between the listener and the DJ. As predominantly dance music DJ I am keen to show the ranges of my musical taste and use my production knowledge to give insights on the music and some samples within the tracks.
Ship of Fools
Mostly music, most of it made with guitars. Sometimes talking - actually there's always talking, but not as much talking as music. Which again, is made mostly but not exclusively with guitars. Sometimes there's gigs too, which we'll talk about a bit as well. Alright thanks - Ship Of Fools
Shárú Records
Shárú is an old Irish word for transgression. Together we will explore sonic transgressions spanning different places and times from around the world with extra attention for revolutions and liberations.
No Vacancy
For discussions and deep listening on spaces we inhabit, listen in to No Vacancy and engage in conversations on spatial practice, community, and ephemeral moments. Through soundscapes, digital artefacts, music, and chat, we can experience our favourite places in sonic form.
Fourth Best
Colm Cahalane, author of the Fourth Best series of essays on new Irish music, presents a new music show featuring reviews, gig news, new releases, and guest selections, across the spectrum of alternative music spanning hip-hop, electronic, indie, punk and beyond.
The Green Scream
What would Chappell Roan have to say about Dublin's lack of a subway? Is it really fair to describe trees, as CMAT has, as "the saddest cunts of plants"? Join us as we discuss local and global environmental issues through the lens of pop culture and solve climate change with the power of friendship.
Call in for a Cuppa
Encapsulating the close-knit “call in for a cuppa” nature of Irish culture, join us monthly in conversation with the people at the very core of such varied and vibrant communities where we talk life, anecdotes, identity and all things human connection.
Hosted by Ali Crotty with monthly guests.
iiRADIO
Simply put, we’re here to enjoy music; How it’s made, how it makes you feel, what it means to its creator and its audience, and much more. Every week your host, dublin-based DJ IICHE shares a playlist of new sounds and gives new perspectives to old gems.
Portals
Portals to every corner of the globe through club music. For club freaks, Hardware nerds and those looking to hear some leftfield dance music.

Scim
Scim is the veil between the ceantar (physical world) and the alltar (netherworld). Tune in for a deep dive interweaving gardening for the modern amateur (think - renter), with pieces of music from various genres: ethereal classical music, contemporary ambient folk and or even a chirpy jazz tune.
