GETSPART, formerly known as Adam Talbot, is a Dublin-based DJ and producer championing the nu-school house and garage movement in the Irish capital.
His sound draws from the deep, punchy, and swung textures that live in the space between house and garage, music designed for the dancefloor, but resonating on a deeper, emotional level.
A graduate of the renowned DJ and dance music powerhouse Bray Institute of Further Education (BIFE), GETSPART immersed himself fully in both the DJ Techniques and Music Production programs. Under the mentorship of acclaimed artists Sunil Sharpe and Doug Cooney, he honed his craft, delving into the subtleties, nuances, and mechanics that define high-calibre electronic music.
As a producer, GETSPART has already made his mark with a release on Foundations Records, and he has two more forthcoming projects lined up with Talkbox and 9 Lives. His productions reflect a distinctive voice, a blend of rhythmic depth, groove, and character, inspired by legends such as Kerri Chandler, Todd Terry, Burnski, DART, Spray, and Jeremy Sylvester.
His Local Selection mix embodies these influences, serving up steppy, rolling percussion layered with glossy, chord-driven lushness. It’s a masterful balance between light and dark. Unafraid to explore the gnarly, murky ends of the house and garage canon, yet equally at home in the jazzy, floating sensibilities of classic Chicago house. GETSPART moves effortlessly between these worlds, keeping his sound balanced on a knife’s edge, refined yet raw.

Irish techno producer Kerrie returns to Tresor Records on 24th October 2025 with her second EP for the label. Entitled Echoes Of The Live Wire, this collection captures the beauty and essence of live performance — a moment in time never to be repeated.
This fixing of time is also given a different meaning as the EP explores the ways in which intense moments in our lives, both joyful and painful, are crystallised into memory — both beautiful and haunting — lingering long after they've passed.
Layered meanings are employed throughout as Kerrie explores this idea: Live Wire draws connections between circuit boards and the human nervous system, whilst also toying with multiple meanings of the word “live”.
Echoes Of channels classic Detroit techno influences, resonating with the distant hum of memories that refuse to fade, while Moment To Memory is a beatless, floating piece which slowly builds to an ecstatic crescendo.
Digital bonus tracks Recircuit and Reclaim add further depth to the core metaphor: the former a driving, minimal yet building techno workout, and the latter a cathartic and emotionally open track that delivers intensity with vulnerability.
Echoes Of The Live Wire reflects on memory as a complex, dual-sided force where joy and pain coexist with equal weight. Her creative process becomes a form of meditation and emotional processing — using machines to process, reflect, and let go.
The result is a body of work that loops back on itself, telling a story of fleeting moments and their lasting emotional imprints.

YARIS is a new force emerging from Belfast’s supercharged local club circuit. As an ever-curious and adventurous selector and promoter, her mission is simple, to inject fun back into every space she steps into.
Still fresh to DJing, YARIS brings a burst of raw, untamed energy to her sets. Unconcerned with rules, restrictions, or trends that often shape the scene, she thrives on instinct, that pure, early-stage spark that can’t be taught. Despite her recent arrival, she’s already left her mark across some of Belfast’s most treasured venues and festivals, including Emerge Festival, Thompsons, Titanic Distillers, The Barge, Marcus Ward, Banana Block, and Ulster Sports Club.
Beyond DJing, YARIS is the founder of Music Is Nonverbal, a project designed to help neurodivergent and socially anxious individuals connect, express, and heal through the universal language of music. It’s an inspiring initiative, one that deserves far more recognition across Ireland.
YARIS’s Local Selection is a tribute to the fun-loving, spontaneous spirit that defines her approach. High-energy and fast-paced, it’s filled with lush dubby chords, gnarly driving rhythms, and springy, shuffled techno tools. Rather than focusing on tension or intensity, it celebrates the playful, party-driven side of techno, almost leaning into a house sensibility. It does exactly what it says on the tin: pure,unadulterated fun.

The Wake by James Begley, from the upcoming Bare-Knuckle Records VA “Fractured Unity I”, is a raw and synth heavy chugger created for dance floor destruction. The evolution of the driving bass accompanied by pulsating synths, locks the listener into a deep groove eventually building to a monumentally euphoric crescendo. An effective weapon would be an understatement.

Dublin’s MILLS steps up to the Local Selection series with a rolling, high-energy house hour underscored by his signature techy, steppy minimal flavour.
While rooted in minimal, MILLS doesn’t rely on its tropes; instead, he regularly turns the dial toward rave and jackin’ house influences, creating a sound that’s dynamic, unpredictable, and powerful.
MILLS has cemented himself as one of 2025’s most exciting emerging house talents. His rise hasn’t been limited to his own work as a DJ and producer; he’s also established himself as a contemporary tastemaker, using both radio and social media to champion fresh sounds from Ireland and beyond. A positive and consistent presence in the Irish electronic landscape, his influence is rippling through the scene.
Now a regular fixture across Ireland’s top venues, MILLS has also made waves internationally — from Ibiza and Magaluf to Santa Ponsa and Liverpool — sharing stages with a roster of revered artists including Weiss, Ejeca (Trancewax), Shermanology, Biscits, Yasmine Gardezi, Morgan Seatree, Camrin Watsin, Evan McGee, Caz, and Jess Bays, among others.
Earlier this year, he brought his rave-soaked house sound to Electric Picnic, which was met with high praise. That same energy carries into his Local Selection Mix, where he rolls through a multitude of anthems, from deep, subdued tech-house cuts to classic chord-driven grooves and bone-crunching, ecstasy-laced bangers. True to form, MILLS closes the loop by dipping back into his minimalist roots, delivering a set that’s anything but linear, a journey built for big rooms, outdoor stages, and sun-soaked Ibiza sessions with MILLS in full control.

For our next Local Selection, we welcome KISST, aka Ste McCabe, to the series. The Shed Residents co-founder steps up for this week's iteration with a rhythmic contribution of knarly, introspective selections rooted in a gloomy, yet moving atmosphere.
Our 279th edition of the Local Selection invites KISST to showcase his contribution to the series. The Dublin-based DJ, promoter and producer has left an indelible mark through a host of memorable raves, parties and takeovers over nearly four jam-packed years. During this time, he has made festival appearances at Beyond The Pale and Fuinneamh while picking up support slots for Mac Declos, MCR-T and KiNK, with an upcoming main support slot alongside Yours Truly for Human Safari at the end of the month in Tengu.
Things have been progressing nicely for KISST, namely due to his relatively recent undertaking of music production, in taking the next step in expressing himself as an artist. In doing so, it has been refreshing to hear the progression of his sound over time and, notably, where he is currently positioned. This point, where you can feel his recent discography fuses particularly well with his DJ selections is exciting, and I look forward to hearing what comes next!
For this recording, KISST crafts a journey through shadowy, immersive soundscapes where deep, hypnotic rhythms collide with atmospheric layers and gritty textures. Infused with hardgroove elements and sharp percussive drive, this mix eloquently balances tension and release, pulling the listener into a state that’s equal parts meditative and relentless.

This week's entry to the Four Four Local Selection welcomes Instinct Society resident DJ Hushpuppy to the series. The Mayo-born, Utrecht-based DJ has provided us with a phenomenal recording geared towards low-end enthusiasts for the next hour. Dial in.
Our latest contribution to the Local Selection comes from Holly Foyle aka DJ Hushpuppy. With a deep admiration and passion for soundsystem culture and bass, Holly has been present in the scene for the last 2 years, sharing her preferred style of dubby, heavy headcore tracks that she's managed to accumulate during this time.
In this short span, she's earned a host of impressive accolades that include playing a range of venues like Wigwam, Tengu, Pawn Shop, Connolly's of Leap and The Roisín Dubh and more across the country. Not to mention spinning for a host of parties like Echo Exchange, Honeypot, Starlight Project, Lost, Intoxica and AMPM too. While also picking up a string of supports for Prozak, Pegassi, Odymel and Juicy Romance in the process. She's managed to make her mark at some smashing festivals such as The Ritual and Fuinneamh Festival more recently.
This stellar mix focuses on all things Latin groove, rumbling bass, and footwork-infused hardcore junglist selections. The recording, to put it plainly is buzz-driven, while taking mood, energy and tempo into account throughout.

Infiltrator steps into the Rave Your Soul circle with Temporal, a four-part dive into looping hypnosis and pressure-loaded groove.
Built on rolling low-end, flickering atmospheres and a precision that never loosens its grip, the EP moves like shifting machinery: relentless yet fluid. Time folds and stretches inside these cuts, drawing dancers deeper with every cycle.
A debut marked by focus and weight. Tools for the floor, carved with soul, designed for the underground.

Our next instalment of the Local Selection invites Limerick-based DJ and producer Kule to the series. With a sound that is firmly embedded in euphoria, his contribution sees him skip through various shades of the emotion throughout this recording.
Kule has received a steady flow of support from a range of artists across the dance scene in recent times. Some notable mentions include Kettama, Skin On Skin, LB ak Labat and DJ Love. All of which are a fan of Kule’s feel-good take on production. He’s built a strong discography of tracks on his SoundCloud, having also collaborated with Beads and Willy XO. Not to mention his house alias DJ Ether which sounds like a breath of fresh air in a world that feels drawn to faster paces over the last few years.
Kule’s contribution to the series finds him at a place where he’s at ease. This includes plenty of euphoric synths, memorable piano lines and bustling basslines. Lock in for an hour of raw energy, nostalgia and a healthy dose of original productions from the man himself as he effortlessly blurs the lines between house and techno.

The 276th entry comes from Muintearas boss NAOISE, who delivers a broad-spanning mix of curveballs over an hour, moving seamlessly from grime to prog, house, techno, and back again.
Dublin-based DJ and party organiser NAOISE has long had their finger firmly on the pulse of the city’s countercultural side of club life. They present a monthly show, Muintearas, on Dublin Digital Radio, while also running events under the same name. Both the radio show and the events follow no strict genre rules, instead embracing an eclectic approach that flows through bass, breaks, progressive house, and more.
Curation lies at the heart of NAOISE’s artistry. They are committed to shining a spotlight on emerging and marginalised artists, whether through DDR’s airwaves or events across venues like Tengu, Wigwam, and other DIY spaces in Dublin.
This mix embodies that wide-reaching approach, moving from heady two-step grime to bellowing, cut-throat breaks, relentless trance-tinged techno, warped prog house, and beyond. It’s a movement, a dance, flowing through various formations, unafraid to drop the energy only to build it back up. It allows listeners to tunnel into the crevices NAOISE wants to explore, a journey designed to surprise at every turn.

Our next edition of the Local Selection welcomes Meath-based DJ and producer LAWRENCE to the series. The fast-rising artist has provided us with a live recording taken from his performance at this summer's Forbidden Fruit Afterparty in Wigwam, which took place in May earlier this year.
LAWRENCE has spent the last few years meticulously developing his style as a DJ and producer. This has led him to explore a vast range of avenues that tend to fall under the umbrella of underground as well as commercial-leaning sounds. This open-minded outlook saw him play right across the country in Dublin, Limerick, Carlow, Galway, Wicklow and more. Supporting Max Dean, Luke Dean, LB aka Labat, Sunnysoposted and Ammara during this period. LAWRENCE has consistently toggled between a mixture of club shows and raves, while never straying from his focus that is spinning highly energetic dance music.
This presence is much the same when it comes to his productions; depending on the mood and atmosphere, he has constructed a discography that generally covers most soundscapes. Jumping across genres, some of which include house, techno, trance, breakbeat and beyond. He has amassed an excess of 300,000 streams currently, with clearly no signs of slowing down. This success has seen his productions earn notable support from LB aka Labat, Future666, Thelma and Faster Horses.
LAWRENCE shared some insights regarding this Local Selection, noting that 'This set was super enjoyable for me, I spent my time in the booth feeling very in control of the crowd and receiving great reactions for each track that was brought forward. With LB aka Labat on after me, I wanted to raise up the energy of the room across my slot - punching in as many heaters as possible. The set lingers as possibly my favourite one to date, and getting to meet some of my heroes in the booth whilst playing was pretty cool too.'
He has also provided a tracklist with his contribution that can be viewed below:
Set List:
1. Vivace - Funk Phenomenon
2. Prizefight - Lick My Deck (Prizefight Refix)
3. LAWRENCE - Space Cowboy

Next up on the Local Selection, we welcome Ukiyo Lacuna resident IKIGAI3000 (aka Dylan Jones), who has provided a mind-bending recording for us today. His contribution is one filled with a fierce selection of energetic techno, scattered with dazzling moments of tension and release throughout.
Although he is a relatively new artist in Ireland's techno scene, having just started DJing in late 2023, IKIGAI3000 has had a fairly action-packed time as a DJ and producer during this short period. He has played shows all over, spanning Galway, Drogheda and Dublin as well as international gigs further afield in Manchester, Freiburg and Berlin. This also includes appearances on Galway's Skin Sessions, Limerick's Shed Sets, as well as the Drogheda Groove Movement mix series.
His productions have been received particularly well, with releases on Space Records and IC Trax and an abundance of SoundCloud self-releases. Additionally, he's garnered support from a range of notable artists that include Uberkikz, Dax J, Daria Kolosova, Grace Dahl and Alarico. It's clear to see that Dylan's progression as an artist will undoubtedly continue to rustle feathers amongst his peers if he continues to build on this fine level of output and consistency.
IKIGAI3000's mix for the Local Selection is best described as a personal journey through sound. This recording in particular showcases where he currently finds himself on his path as an artist, seamlessly weaving through tracks that complement one another in effortless fashion. Best characterised as a 60-minute immersion of no nonsense, serious techno.

This track is one of the most recent works I've done that features on my upcoming project "The Other Side of Place". After coming back from Gottwood festival, I had mad inspiration. I knew I wanted a gritty, bassy track with a lot of emotion. and I think that runs through. I got deep into my sound design with this one so I hope its a pleasure to listen to.

This week's entry to the Local Selection showcases Tipperary-born, now Belfast-based DJ, Laine to the series. This recording depicts Laine's cohesive and elegant mixing style, progressing eloquently throughout. Lock in for the next hour to hear this stunning mix, courtesy of the Reclaim The Mainframe resident.
Laine has burst onto the Dublin dance circuit in recent years, encompassing a distinct style that is geared towards house music and its adjacent sub-genres. In doing so, she has earned the opportunity to play for a host of parties like Melodic, Lumo Club and Hidden Love, as well as venues across Dublin such as Tengu, Pawn Shop and Izakaya. Not to mention picking up a residency for one of Ireland's most exciting parties, Reclaim The Mainframe.
These opportunities come as no surprise once you have gotten the chance to hear Laine play, as her library allows her to showcase a wide range of deep cuts right across the house spectrum. She has frequented DDR's airwaves on multiple occasions as part of Efa O Neill's Out of Space series, as well as showcasing a guest mix for prog-house aficionados Fuaim. Her expertise in the booth has seen her perform at Beyond The Pale as well as Fuinneamh, with another appearance at the Dundalk festival locked in this summer.
Laine's Local Selection focuses on an array of low-slung chuggers, rooted in deep, murky territory. Keeping things moody, slick and rolling for the duration of the recording, Laine does a fantastic job at flexing this side of her musical palette while introducing glimpses of euphoria throughout. Interestingly, this mix is ideal for casual listening, though it is something you could envision hearing in a smoke-filled, dimly lit basement somewhere, too.

The next entry to the Local Selection Mix Series welcomes Kildare-based DJ and producer Cian Fox. For this installment, Cian provides us with an hour of no nonsense techno. Ranging right across the spectrum from stripped back to driving cuts within the genre.
Cian Fox has begun to spark attention among the local and international dance scenes in recent years, with the 20 year old earning a slot on the acclaimed live-streaming platform Pattern Berlin, while garnering support slots for Dylan Fogarty, Jon10 and Puzzy Wrangler within a relatively short period. This success has led him to play for some exciting local parties such as The Shed Residents, Crush and Oblivion.
These opportunities without a doubt, are linked to Cian's fine discography that he has built. Releasing multiple EPs on his SoundCloud, along with releases on Blurr, Fast Dogs and U-Traxx, has allowed him to express his vision for techno, while connecting with like-minded listeners. In particular, he has received notable support from Reformist and Remco Beekwilder, who has given his productions the seal of approval from playing at various gigs and radio shows.
This mix further outlines his idea of techno, one that is rooted in the past that also takes aim at the future. Elegantly curated and mixed, this is an exceptional recording for any avid techno connoisseur. Even more so for an artist who is at the beginning of what could very well be a long and exciting journey in dance music.

This week’s entry in the Local Selection Mix Series comes from CHACHØU, the French-born, Dublin-based artist known for her visceral, big-room techno sound.
CHACHØU’s musical palette is wide-reaching, pulling inspiration from across the electronic spectrum. While techno, indie dance, and melodic techno form the foundation of her sound, her sets are marked by deep, pounding drums and sweeping, emotive melodies. It’s a style that has captivated dancefloors from Ireland to Mexico, the USA, and Canada. Over the years, she’s shared the stage with heavyweights like Korolova, Dense & Pika, Truncate, Anyasa, Kasablanca, Gene Farris, Ardalan, and HNTR.
Beyond the booth, CHACHØU is the co-founder of MINDSET, a collective dedicated to curating cutting-edge techno events in Ireland and Vancouver. With a focus on immersive, art-driven experiences, MINDSET reflects her drive to push boundaries and elevate club culture through both sound and atmosphere.
Her Local Selection debut is a powerful journey through chugging, high-octane techno, euphoric peaks, and heads-down, indie-tinged moments, showcasing the dynamic range that defines CHACHØU’s rising presence.

GETSPART, formerly known as Adam Talbot, is a Dublin-based DJ and producer championing the nu-school house and garage movement in the Irish capital.
His sound draws from the deep, punchy, and swung textures that live in the space between house and garage, music designed for the dancefloor, but resonating on a deeper, emotional level.
A graduate of the renowned DJ and dance music powerhouse Bray Institute of Further Education (BIFE), GETSPART immersed himself fully in both the DJ Techniques and Music Production programs. Under the mentorship of acclaimed artists Sunil Sharpe and Doug Cooney, he honed his craft, delving into the subtleties, nuances, and mechanics that define high-calibre electronic music.
As a producer, GETSPART has already made his mark with a release on Foundations Records, and he has two more forthcoming projects lined up with Talkbox and 9 Lives. His productions reflect a distinctive voice, a blend of rhythmic depth, groove, and character, inspired by legends such as Kerri Chandler, Todd Terry, Burnski, DART, Spray, and Jeremy Sylvester.
His Local Selection mix embodies these influences, serving up steppy, rolling percussion layered with glossy, chord-driven lushness. It’s a masterful balance between light and dark. Unafraid to explore the gnarly, murky ends of the house and garage canon, yet equally at home in the jazzy, floating sensibilities of classic Chicago house. GETSPART moves effortlessly between these worlds, keeping his sound balanced on a knife’s edge, refined yet raw.
