Having a true passion for a multitude of genres and sub-genres of electronic music, his true sound is heavily influenced by the late 90s & early 2000s era of loop-driven techno. However, it’s no surprise to hear a variety of genres from the old and new in Niall’s highly energetic sets. Since his first set in Galway 4 years ago, he has played multiple headline shows all over the country alongside festival appearances at Life Festival and two runouts at Electric Picnic, which were all roaring successes. In 2023, alongside his former collective, he completed his first North American tour which saw him play in Vancouver, San Diego, San Francisco, Chicago and New York. Breaking in to the European scene in the past 18 months has taken him to Amsterdam, Berlin, Poznan, Barcelona, London, Liverpool, Glasgow & Norwich and is looking forward to ticking off more cities over the coming months. He has also featured on streaming platforms in both London & Amsterdam, including Bloop, Brixton, NTS Radio (All London) & Amsterdam Most Wanted Radio. Niall has notably supported some of the best there is to offer such as Dave Clarke, Hector Oaks, X Club, VTSS, Tommy Holohan, Ewan McVicar, Dart & Sam Alfred, showcasing his versatility on the decks, displaying an ease for performing across a wide range of genres. He is a huge fan of all-night-long sets too, having completed an impressive 12 including a 6-hour performance in Norwich, UK followed by a 5-hour stint at Schron Club, Poznan. Niall has performed in notable venues such as Warehouse Elementenstraat (Amsterdam), The Berkeley Suite (Glasgow), Index (Dublin), Tama Klub (Poznan) and multiple renowned clubs across Berlin including Renate, Aeden, Lokschuppen (fka Suicide Circus), Club AVA, M01 & Recede Club. Niall embarked on his production journey in March 2023, and it has been quite a fruitful one thus far. With over 20 releases under his belt to date and plenty more on the way, he has garnered support from the VTSS, Beau Didier, Frederic, JKS, Nina Farrina, Uberkikz, Dj Fuckoff, Boyz Noize, Anetha & more with his tracks being played on stages at Sziget Festival, Dekmantel, Melt Festival, Hive Festival and platforms like The Lot Radio.
