"Is it still the Future?" is the astounding debut EP from Irish producer, re-mixer, programmer and DJ, Tóirse. Tóirse has been releasing material and playing live for two years under his Booger moniker, as well as working on various projects alongside reputable musicians such as Decal, Daniel Figgis and Max Tundra.

There had to come a time in Ireland when the intelligent and interesting sensibilities of electronica were met with the drive, energy and vigour of dancefloor production; where the things you love about both are wholly present, without a hint of that which made you bored of either. This is the essence of Is it still the Future? Booger achieves a fresh vitality in his work that somehow creates a new idiom, breaking rules without loosing site of the enjoyment and innovation that should define electronic music.

When a talented, young multi-instrumentalist, who has been writing music for many years and held various DJ residencies across the country, cites Green Velvet, Burning Spear and Sonic Youth as his favourite acts, it's no surprise that he has such an incredible grasp of flawless production techniques and wonderful song writing, nor that he really knows how to keep peoples hips wigglin'.

From the tough UR-esque tendencies of "Is It Still the Future?", to the skewed, distorted singing on "Here Come..." the intricate, skippy beats and beautifully weaving mandolin melody on Painting of an Ugly Lady, or the two endless loops/locked grooves at the end of each side to facilitate DJs, Booger proves without doubt that this is the new monolith of electronic music. Welcome to the future.
