SHAMMEN DELLY

SHAMMEN DELLY

Shammen Delly came into being in 2004 when Aengus Friel and Josh O'Hagan decided to make music together. The duo hail from Donegal in the far North of Ireland, where their surroundings and lack of distraction help them produce ethereal and surreal soundscapes, gritty, saturated, distorted, slow breakbeats, plus warm piano leads which hint to a minimal classical influence.

After several compilation appearances and live shows supporting the artists such as Ulrich Schnauss, David Kitt, Anodyne and Tom Middleton, plus radio appearances on BBC Electric Mainline, the duo released their debut album on Dublin based label 'Psychonavigation Records' in 2013, followed by the release of their first EP "Midnight Sessions"

Thran

Thran - an Irish term for a person who is awkward. Hailing from the top edge of Lough Neagh in the middle of the North Of Ireland, Thran have been making music since picking up a copy of Ableton's "Live 5" in 2005. What began as an awkward delve into electronic music has grown to incorporate live elements as influences and tastes and boredom have dictated. Thran's foray into posting some original material and edits of London Grammar and Sea Legs on Soundcloud were been well received leading to a first original release coming on Derry's Culture Glitch recordings, closely followed by their first full EP, self-released.

Steve McCready

Emerging from his home studio in the autumn of 2010 young Irishman Smak (aka Steve McCready) from Derry / Donegal has set about carving himself a niche in the very large and saturated world of Electronic Dance Music.But here we have a talent ,a true talent a producer who seems to be able to turn on that style everytime he enters his studio.He has never failed to surprise with his undoubted skill in crafting an Original tune or a Remix.His first release came in September 2010 on Ritual Music followed swiftly by the next on LA based Android Cartel’s Sketchbook label and at the end of 2010 he contributed to a Various Artist EP on petFood at the end of 2010.2011 arrived and so did Smak as he served up many a tasty dancefloor treat for Stripped Recordings, Stripped Digital, Hype Muzik, Baroque, Riff Raff, Babylon Records,Endemic Digital, Mirabilis,Gl1tched, Unrivaled Music and Dance Through Life Records too name a few. He also managed to release his first full artist album on the aforementioned Hype Muzik aptly entitled “Addicted To...”

His style if asked is multifaceted, House, Deep House ,Tech House ,Techno , Nu Disco / Indie Dance have all been touched on with remarkable results.He is a young and still emerging producer who certainly has a future in Dance Music and with a slew of new projects lined up and ready to go in 2012 and beyond Smak (aka Steve MCCready) is certainly a name to be followed very closely indeed.
