Show Me Carisma - Code2

The Northern Irish club scene has spawned many talents over the years, but nothing quite as intimate as CODE2.

DJ duos are a plenty in trance, but husband and wife DJ's are certainly not the norm as this awesome twosome bring their own kind of energy to the forefront of every track and live performance.

The CODE2 project was born in 2020 but Andy and Barbara Irvine are no strangers to the DJ life having served their time in and around the NI club scene for many years. This dedicated duo first appeared under their MR&MRS DJ alias in the hard dance/hardstyle scene, playing and running nights at huge events and clubs such as Q Dance, Planetlove, TFI Fridays, The Coach, Precious, La Lea, Coast, Bar 7, Beach, as well as gigs in Ibiza, spinning at world famous white isle superclubs Es Paradis and Eden. When it comes to trance, supporting artists such as Bryan Kearney, Solarstone, Giuseppe Ottiviani, Simon Patterson, Jordan Suckley, Sean Tyas etc has been this 'work hard party hard' couples bread and butter. Andy & Barbara first fell in love with trance in the late 90s/early 2000's explosion, frequenting clubs such as The Coach in Banbridge and The Network, the infamous allnighter in Belfast.

On the production front the pair signed their debut track “WHO” to Aria Digital and have the support of a true UK legend of the genre. With influences ranging from Giuseppe Ottiviani to fellow Northern Irishmen Simon Patterson and Sneijder (especially the Afterdark sound), you will come to recognise the CODE2 stand out production ability and should brace yourself for the uplifting, psy, tech trance and hard trance bombs to drop!

CODE2 say " After 10 years away from the DJ and promoting side of the industry we always stayed in touch with the music as clubbers and we really caught the modern trance bug. The new generation of NI artists, promoters and clubbers built up such a good scene again and created a big buzz and making the scene the biggest its ever been here before the pandemic hit. During the first lockdown we put the heads into producing, it's something we always dabbled in but wanted to learn more about, now we're addicted to the DAW! People might think we're mad launching a new project when the club scene is in such trouble but the passion and drive is back for us. Making music and mixing again has been a welcomed distraction from the current state of the world, we both started off in trance, we first got speaking through our love of a trance track, we raved and DJed together for years and now we find ourselves back full circle and ready to bring CODE2 to an even wider audience "
