Favourite Irish DJ

At the moment i'm loving the Sounds of DUB'D OUT. Not sure if anyone's heard of them but they Produce as well and they have some great Bootlegs and Originals of their own. More on the Commercial side of House but they play underground stuff as well at gigs. Great little Duo.

VinylJunkie · 01-05-2011 3:17pm

Of course you're loving your own sound.

Yeah they done support for Laidback Luke and that in the past at the Wright Venue. There the only really Irish DJ's I can think of that I like at the moment.

VinylJunkie · 01-05-2011 4:48pm

I was being sarcastic, I can think of plenty that support far better acts than that lad. Each to their own I guess.

Wright Venue is one of the biggest clubs in Dublin at the moment. Another is Tripod. They've played in both a few times.

Each to their own. I'm sure I wouldn't like the hack of some of your favourites.

Arveene is still the only DJ to make me walk out of a club before the main act started.

Wouldn't rate him in the slightest.

In my early days it was Darren Flynn, Barry and Dean who made me pick up a set of decks in my youth!

Nowadays Sunil Sharpe is my favorite Irish Dj, without a shadow of a doubt, we've no Techno Export like him, usually makes a mockery of whatever big name dj he supports!

I seen him a few times, he's unreal. He's also brilliant with the vinyls in all city, a great man to ask for tunes.

It's out in Swords... lovely place. A lot of snobs in the place but the door staff are surprisingly ok and aren't into turning people down for no reason. Unlike most bouncers at nightclubs.

Yeah but i'm from beside summer hill and it's not posh at all I tell ya. And I know a lot from my area that go. Bouncers let them in and there's rarely any trouble when i've been there anyway.

Plumpynutt · 03-05-2011 5:29pm

Sunil Sharpe
Executive Steve off here is deadly too

g5fd6ow0hseima · 03-05-2011 7:56pm

Kormac deserves a mention too, for he can throw any genres together and make it work

ianuss · 03-05-2011 9:50pm

Ragin' Rick.

electrogrimey · 04-05-2011 4:09pm

Handsome Paddy, Nic James, Kormac, Gavin Feeney, Philth, Averill, Tu-Ki, Bingo, to name a few.

DISCOTEKKEN · 04-05-2011 4:23pm

TR-One are the best Irish DJs, and that is a fact.

I remember Tonie Walsh alright played in Sides in the early days and im sure i seen him in the Shaft before as well, i think he used to play at some of the earlier party's in gay bars like the George too.

This should generate some interest,over the years ive liked a lot of Irish DJ's there is some real talent out there and some of them should've made it big but didn't cos Ireland is a smaller country compared to the UK or Germany,anyway probably the most underated and IMO the best is Liam Dollard,i remember him from the glory days of Sides in the early/mid 1990's,to the Temple Of Sound,etc,etc,etc and he has always been top notch,and i love his style of House Music as well.

There are obviously many more quality Irish DJ's out there like Mick Walsh,Johnny Moy,Francois,Warren Kiernan,David Holmes (although he lost the plot a few years ago making mad music for film soundtracks)Paddy Sheridan,Mark Kavanagh,Billy Scurry,Col Hamilton, etc,who's your fav then?;)

ps-not forgetting the langers,quality dj's Greg Dowling and Shane Johnson

fav radio djs.... rob g, ryan o'neill, tony d rest in peace. jimjim nugent, nikki hayes, mel b

he's a good producer, as are Boxcutter and Space Dimension Controller. They'd be the best in my eyes, but regards DJs, Sunil Sharpe is the best by a long shot for me.

A_Fitz · 06-05-2011 12:45am

Not sure about the best but i see an awful lot of overrated ****ebags being mentioned in this thread.

Francois was definitely quality in his day though, Joe McGrath as well.
In terms of D n' B, Executive Steve is one of the top dogs, as has already been mentioned.
Stevie G from Cork (ex-Henry's) knows his music big time and deserves a mention as well.

+1 on Stevie. Glad somebody mentioned him, he has been going strong for a long time.

Eoghan Young was on of my favorites in the late 90's early 00's. Had some great nights in the Kitchen, HQ & Columbia Mills. He disappeared off the scene and the last I heard he was living in Galway.

Currently like the stuff that Gavin Herlihy is releasing.

So happy to hear someone mention Eoghan Young.

Eoghan Young, Shay Hannon, Hugh Scully, Casper, Keith O'Reilly, Scott McNaughton, Podge, Mark Dixon and Liam Fitz shaped my taste in music when tapes, clubs and half remembered saturday nights determined your next shopping spree......

Yea Eoghan Young brought that disco house to Dublin at the time, early 00's. He used to play phenomenal sets in the red box and power fm.

I always wondered where he got those records.

Sorry for bringing up an old thread, but Google brought me here as I wondered what ever became of eoghan young.

Sephiroth_dude · 28-03-2018 12:19pm

Ronan C from Cork.

duploelabs · 28-03-2018 2:41pm

Surprised Billy Scurry or Arveene haven't been mentioned

TheAsYLuMkeY · 10-10-2018 3:45pm

I would offer up,

Ed Case
Pressure
Warren K

And one of my all time favorite DJ's that could really diversify his mixes from cracking house to seriously hard Techno,

Jay Carey.......... Best mix in my opinion back then was 'Ignorance'

irishinbriglol · 10-10-2018 10:48pm

... youre rite there - he made money for sure - making more money than anyone else through running a dj agency doesn't make you the best Irish dj though - it just means he was in the right place at the right time to make money through his agency position

I forgot to put Francois Pittion on that list,

Not doing so because i know Francois frequents this forum, but because he delivered some of the greatest nights i ever had mid 90's.

I was and Asylum regular for the duration of its existence, after it closed we found our way eventually to the waterfront (Thats what we called it, otherwise know as Columbia mills/UFO)

First time i ever hear Dont Laugh was there, had some amazing nights there thanks to Francois.
