Embracing the playful, loop-driven approach of ‘00s techno while weaving in elements of house, garage, and dub. His sound—a rich tapestry of groove, swing, and unadulterated funk, channels the golden era of techno, striking a balance between Stockholm and Napoli while shaping the next generation of the genre in Ireland and beyond. With releases on Molekül, Frenzy, and RAW, as well as a string of highly regarded self-released projects—aptly titled The Forgotten Loops, D Loops, 16 Bar Shuffle Tools, and more, Fogarty's intent is clearly rooted in the essence of classic techno. His productions are oozing with character and swagger, making him a key figure in the movement back towards the raw energy of the ‘00s loop-driven club sounds. Dubbed the prince of Irish techno, his reputation is built not just on his studio output but his skill behind the decks. Whether going B2B with Tafkamp and Sunil Sharpe or commanding dance floors at London’s Fabric, Paris’s Rex Club, Berlin’s RSO, and Madrid’s Fabrik, his approach is wide-ranging and eclectic, taking dancers on a journey through his extensive collection of music. Despite his growing status, Fogarty remains somewhat of an enigma—he has never given an interview, rarely posts on social media, and often drops new music spontaneously via Bandcamp, embodying the DIY ethos of the ‘90s in both sound and spirit. With an encyclopaedic knowledge of techno, house, and garage that spans decades, Fogarty’s artistry runs far deeper than trends. While much about him remains elusive, one thing is certain, when he plays, standing still is simply not an option.
