Half of the duo Fish Go Deep, Shane Johnson initiated his musical career at Sir Henry’s house night, going on to play clubs and festivals around the globe. Creating infectious sounds since the late ‘90s, Johnson’s studio productions with Greg Dowling reached dancefloors and radio charts throughout the world. In 2005, the first single off Fish Go Deep’s debut album with Tracey K, The Cure and the Cause, was licensed by UK house giant, Defected, and became a huge club and chart hit. The time since has seen the Cork duo release two more albums, several EPs and countless house remixes. Their most recent release, the 2021 album This Bit of Earth, received praise and plays from influential DJs the likes of Laurent Garnier, Colleen ‘Cosmo’ Murphy, Osunlade, and Jimpster. Follow-up What I Mean By Beautiful is due for release at the end of this year.

J Behan

Beloved in the Irish techno scene for over two decades now, Jamie Behan is widely pinned as one of the “godfathers of Cork techno.” With his long-standing club night and his label Bastardo Electrico, Behan’s sound crosses borders between techno, house, electro, and old-school rave. He has earned himself a renowned Berlin residency for the party series Killekill, played a long list of clubs and festivals around Europe, and released solo productions and collaborations. Behan’s latest releases include a collaboration with Diarmaid O'Meara on Gobsmacked Records, and further collaborations with DJ Flush under the ‘Cork Bangers’ alias on KilleKill and other labels, released in 2022.
