This crew of music-mad conoisseurs can recognise some under-the-butchers-counter bizniz if ever there was any. Keeping their fingers on the pulse of funk, soul, and hip hop around the globe, they provide news, reviews, interviews, events listings, and stellar concerts to hungry fans and those in need of a proper slab of t-bone beats. With their website acting as their hub, they can relay up-to-the-minute info, as well as bringing underground hip hop pioneers like J Rocc and Edan to Irish shores. Deftly straddling both the digital age and the live arena, Choice Cuts takes the best of both worlds and weaves them together in what should become the music promotion model of the future. Red Bull Music Academy Radio is right next to the sound man, jacking a cable from the mixing desk at some of Dublin's most essential parties. You won't be able to keep those plates of meat still for a second.
