Pop with a twist, a collection of the best in contemporary leftfield, wonky and alternative pop music. Perfect for those who like their pop full of flavour and with a bit of an edge. Just the thing for pre-drinks and party high-jinx. 🎶 ❤️ (📸 Mark Eder)

An introduction to Circuit3

Taken from the album  'Technology For The Youth' which is available on digital storesincluding Spotify and Apple Music, as well as via Bandcamp on coloured vinyl LP, CD and Digital. 

Retro-futuristic but undeniably human, Circuit3 is the alias of Irish electronic artist and songwriter Peter Fitzpatrick. Using analogue synthesizers as a vehicle for lyrical storytelling, this music is heavily influenced by the classic era of electronic pop.

A childhood fascination with space provides the emotional narrative arc for 'Technology For The Youth', a collection of crisp electronic pop songs and atmospheric instrumentals created with an enviable array of analogue synthesizers. It focuses squarely on that period before digital synthesis, just as the lyrics are informed by those endeavours in space exploration pre-dating the first Space Shuttle left Cape Canaveral.

Circuit3 debuted with the 'siliconchipsuperstar' LP (2018), followed by the album 'The Price Of Nothing & The Value Of Everything' (2019), praised by no less than Martyn Ware (The Human League, Heaven17). More recently, Circuit3 also released a remix created of Rodney Cromwell 'Opus Three'.

For Fitzpatrick, this was the album he always hoped he would make and one that he has poured his entire heart and soul into. 'Technology For The Youth' is electronic pop constructed from the brave ambitions of forward-thinking scientists and politicians, and the remembered hopes, dreams and fascinations of a young Dublin boy.

In The End (We All Become Closer)

'Future Radio' is now available across online stores, including Spotify and Apple Music, as well as via Bandcamp, where the new album 'Technology For The Youth' is available on coloured vinyl LP, CD and Digital.

Dublin electronic artist Circuit3 has signed with Manchester's AnalogueTrash label for the new album 'Technology For The Youth', ahead of which comes the upbeat lead single 'Future Radio', co-produced by Wolfgang Flür (Kraftwerk) collaborator iEuropean (Sean Barron) and mastered at WAV Mastering by Richard Dowling, known for his work with Paul McCartney, Kylie Minogue, Motorhead, David Bowie, Foo Fighters, New Order and Sparks.

Retro-futuristic but undeniably human, Circuit3 is the alias of Irish electronic artist and songwriter Peter Fitzpatrick. Using analogue synthesizers as a vehicle for lyrical storytelling, this music is heavily influenced by the classic era of electronic pop. .

"Every Circuit3 album features a track co-written with Brian McCloskey, better known to many as the curator of the magnificent Smash Hits magazine archive 'Like Punk Never Happened'. From California, he sent me lyrics for 'Future Radio', which captured my childhood love of pirate radio stations popped into a blender with the space race.  Starting out as an homage to The Buggles, it becomes a boy's adventure tale, drifting off to sleep to the sound of pirate radio signals ebbing and flowing into my dreams," says Peter Fitzpatrick.
