Our new EP is out now: https://www.beatport.com/release/okeey-yaaah-ep/1850655

Liam Doherty (aka Ledoc) is a House and Techno DJ from the outskirts of Belfast in Northern Ireland. Ledocs’ main sounds are House and Techno, but his sets can include anything diverse and unexpected, from the hard sound of Dave Clarke to the chugging guitars of  Metallica, as he tries to push boundries and suprise onlookers with his music selection.

 As the son of a professional pianist and music tutor, he was surrounded by music from an early age. Following in his fathers footsteps he became a classically trained pianist, but being an 80s child he developed a love of 80s electro with artists like new order and gary numan catching his attention.

His love of electronic music progressed to house in the early 90s and after alot of saving he got his first set of decks when he was 13. At the time, everyone around him was playing hardcore, but playing house music led him to many warm-up gigs dotted around the country.

Liam moved to Belfast in 2000 and attended the main techno night in Belfast called Shine, and it was here where he found the dance music that truly did it for him – Tech House and Techno. Being fed a weekly diet of Darren Emerson, Dave Clarke, DJ Sneak, David Holmes, Luke Slater and Slam it was easy to get sucked into the whole underground dance music scene.

A complete refresh of his record collection was required replacing record labels such as Defected with Soma and Manifesto with Drumcode.

Liam progressed into producing in the early 00s and stuck true to his roots by producing synth driven house and techno with that electro tinge he loved in the 80s.

His first release came on Ade Fentons’ Advanced Records which was a remix of Northern Ireland Techno duo Celtec Twinz. His remix of For Love Nor Money (ADV036) featured alongside remixes from WJ Henze, BKR and Rob Gibson and the label had this to say about the remix “arguably the pick of the remix bunch come from fellow Irish mate LeDoc with a beautiful string obsessed stunner, perfect for that Ibiza peaking sunset moment.”

Recently LeDoc has played slots at Bodyshock at the Arts College in Belfast playing alongside CJ Bolland and DJ Misjah as well as guest slots at Movement in Morrisons and Love and Death Inc and NuNoise in the Spring and Airbrake.

With some exciting productions in the pipeline as well as some special bookings coming, 2011 has been a good year for LeDoc.
