Derry's Sandinos to host a 'Christmas cracker of a night' with international DJ Spray

Mosaic consists of three friends, Connor Young, Ronan Sneddon and Eoin Simpson, who began as a series of small, intimate parties in Derry, which grew into something more, as the trio set out to put their own stamp on the nightlife scene.

The three hope to host their biggest show to date in Sandinos, where they will be welcoming Berlin-based Irish producer ‘Spray,’ Tiarnan McMorrow, originally from Sligo. He is now releasing music under the alias ‘Spriitzz,’ of which he recently released a debut single titled 'Where R U'.

“When I wrote it I was in Ibiza,” he explains. “I wanted to make something that sounded like it could have been on an Ibiza sunrise compilation CD. One of those one-off tracks by an artist you can’t find any other music by. It’s a bit of an ode to an old Ibiza that I romanticise that doesn’t really exist any more but I’m still always chasing when I visit.”

The aim for this new output is to make music that “feels a bit more poppy and less clubby,” said McMorrow. “To not be as judgemental and intricate with the music and let it feel a bit more fun and nostalgic.”

Tickets for the event are now available via Resident Advisor, with the Mosaic DJs performing, local DJ Jordan Villa, and headline act Spray.

Mosaic said it is going to be a Christmas cracker of a night.
