Dublin City, 1998. Prepare to be transported back in time to the vivid streets of Dublin. A city in social, economic and artistic transition.Set against an evocative sonic backdrop of jungle, drum and bass and breakbeat, SK83 weaves an elaborate narrative that captures the essence of adolescent life in Dublin in the late 1990’s.Delve into a captivating sonic journey that explores the bevy of emotions and events that colour a teenagers journey to adulthood - from love and loss, first-time experiences, the pitfalls of peer pressure and the unmistakable pull of the city's intoxicating rave culture.''My ambition for SK83 was to create an immersive musical and visual universe that brings the listener on a journey that captures the essence of adolescence. I wanted to reflect and re - live my own teenage experiences, and bring to life what is a shared universal experience for us all - but in this instance is told thru the lens of a young man in Dublin in the late 1990’s.'' — MathMan

MathMan Bio:
MathMan Bio: MathMan is a critically acclaimed producer and DJ from Dublin, Ireland. He has been described as one of the most talented producers in the country and has been an integral part of the city’s thriving music scene for years. MathMan’s significance within Irish culture cannot be overstated. With a progressive and evolutionary approach to music, he has consistently pushed the boundaries of his craft, garnering praise from critics, fellow artists, and fans alike. A multiple Choice - music prize song of the year nominee, a universally critically acclaimed album with MXM (including an I rish Times 5 Star review & Irish Times song of the year 2019), his extensive accolades and previous works attest to his profound impact within Irish music. ''The common denominator is the lust for music as a therapeutic release, of which rave culture is s uch an integral part. The essence of rave underscores a good deal of MathMan’s productions, which often ignore the delineations of genre by embarking upon triple sonic entendres that incorporate nostalgia, esoteric winks, and the bald and bare forcefulness that encapsulates so much of contemporary music globally. MathMan’s music is sedimentary, containing within it layers of time, the anthropological observations of what makes a city bop, and the memories of settings where a sound first connected; clubs, sheds, car parks, back seats, bedrooms, fields, tents, bars, basements, warehouses, studios, headphones.'' — Una Mullally in The Irish Times
