Irish-Australian megastar-in-the-making to play the Y&E Series tonight

Following the release of his acclaimed single 'I Land At Sea, we're delighted to present Dunx as our next act on the Hot Press Y&E Series – going live on the Hot Press Instagram at 7.30pm this evening.

Irish-Australian artist Dunx is steadily becoming one of the most captivating talents on these shores – with his surf blues and desert rock-flavoured sound on dazzling display on his latest self-produced single, ‘I Land At Sea’.

Armed with a deeply resonant and instantly commanding voice, not unlike Nick Cave, Dunx has previously put in the hard graft behind-the-scenes as a producer and engineer – working with U2, Inhaler, Sorcha Richardson and more – before stepping into the solo spotlight with his debut single, ‘Don’t Gotta Be So Bad’, last year.

The Hot Press Y&E Series is supported by the Department of Tourism, Culture, Arts, Gaeltacht, Sport and Media. Watch Dunx performing live tonight on the Hot Press Instagram (@hotpressmagazine) at 7.30pm.
