Not my usual style and most of these tracks were released before I was born, but who doesn’t like the 80s – inspired by my early memories of FM radio, classic films like The Karate Kid, Rocky III, Top Gun, and The Breakfast Club, plus the iconic GTA: Vice City soundtrack and the more recent brilliance of Stranger Things.

Retro Mix - Easy 80s Edition

An ‘Open Format DJ’ from Newry in County Down with over 15 years of experience playing in Clubs and Venues across Ireland. Flip Mac’s journey into DJing is very much rooted from Electronic Dance Music thanks to Artist’s such as Delerium, Rui Da Silva, and Shapeshifters which often soundtracked his journey to school in the early 2000s. The gift of a shoebox from his uncle stocked with 1990’s piano house mixtapes further pressed his determination to get behind a set of decks, and time spent away at College in Liverpool influenced the colourful funky house sound still prominent in his sets.  

Flip initially carved his path to becoming a steadfast name in the Irish club scene during his time at the notorious Relic Nightclub in Newry; playing mix of peak time, open to close and warm up sets for world renowned guest DJ’s in a residency which spanned the best part of a decade. These years were massively significant in honing his skills as a multi genre Club DJ and added versatility to his style which in turn opened the door to further successful residencies in Belfast, Dundalk, and the iconic Voodoo Venue in Letterkenny.

Currently, Flip Mac can be heard at his weekend residencies in Ginger Jane's, Newry and Quinns, Newcastle.
