Having been involved with Regal's Irish debut back in 2016, five years later we see the producer thriving in the dance scene, with countless releases, his own label, remixes, club shows and festival appearances, to now releasing his debut album.

Regal’s genre-bending sound has been capturing the hearts and minds of ravers and industry heads since 2012. His staunch productions have garnered support from techno’s well-established vanguard, including noted collaborations, projects and remixes with Amelie Lens, Hadone, Nina Kraviz, Ellen Allien, Emmanuel Top and Len Faki. Regal’s sound graces clubland with full-throttle impact – whether at the legendary Berghain, Awakenings, Possession or his residency at Khidi in Tibilisi. Alongside his own productions, Regal’s imprint Involve has become established for delivering sharpened 303 infused acid sounds. The imprint has welcomed artists including Boston 168, FJAAK and Alignment and is now also the home for his debut album this June.

“The concept has changed a few times over the past few years” says Regal. The focus was to make an album that tells the story of his personal struggles and self-discovery, a dark insight into the DJ’s life, influenced mainly by Dante Alighieri’s ‘Divine Comedy’, where Dante has to cross all the layers of hell and purgatory to arrive in paradise.

“Remember Why You Started is meant to be a message for everyone, including myself, to look back to your roots – where anything you do is influenced by nothing but passion” - Regal

Our first premiere of the week comes from one of the most exhilarating names in techno today, Chlär. Swiss native Chlär arrives on SHDW & Obscure Shapes imprint Mutual Rytm for a six track EP, comprised of futuristic grooves and tribal narratives. We premiere ‘Spirit Enhancer’ a high octane 90’s inspired cut, which draws on dub techno and disco flavours.

Emerging as an artist of note for both now and the future, Chlär continues to craft and shape his sound as he curates his own high-octane approach to techno. Combining dynamic performances taking in three and four deck mixes with his own up front productions and his talents as a former mastering engineer, the Swiss talent has become a respected name amongst his peers. After releases on Lobster Theremin and his own Bipolar Disorder imprint, the Berlin-based DJ, producer and label boss heads to SHDW & Obscure Shape’s blooming label Mutual Rytm to deliver six precise and powerful cuts across his ‘Optimized Groove’ EP.

“As the names states, ‘Optimized grooves’ is a collection of tracks designed to match specific parts of the event/night. From ‘Night Genesis’ at the origin of the night through to tracks like ‘Maximum Performance’, a peak time bomb, and ‘Spirit Enhancer’ – an uplifting and warm production elevating
individuals to higher labels after hours of spiritual connection” – Chlär

We have the pleasure of once again premiering music from our favourite new techno label, Mutual Rytm and Chlär’s release is one of the most exciting yet. Spirit Enchancer comes in hot as the final track of the record (excluding the digital exclusive), and it’s packed with smouldering grooves. The Berlin based producer seems to be firmly looking back at classic 90’s techno for inspiration on this one, as the track would be easily mistake for early Technasia or Monika Kruse.

Chlär goes hard with rolling low end, yet show’s the light with illuminating strings, funked up disco sampling, and some infectious dub chord for good measure. The most impressive piece of of production prowess on this track is Chlär’s impeccable ability to create raw and raucous drum grooves and exemplary swing on his percussion, simply infectious in every possible way.

His work in the past has seen him release a number of high profile free downloads, a debut on Infiltrator’s, Sonic Intel imprint and a number of releases on his own imprint Izøtope.

The Limerick native now arrives back to Izøtope for the labels first EP with a four tracker from Jon10 along with a remix from Infiltrator. The four track EP explores all corners of the groovier aspects of techno by experimenting and dabbling with hypnotic synths, primitive tribal rhythms, groove infused patterns and dreamy chords. 

Tribal Elements focuses on rolling and swinging percussive grooves, as syncopated rhythms bounce off thundering kicks, the track seem’s to slip and slide through various rhythms yet remains ultimately cohesive. Bongo’s and percs fly around this drum workout and it’s simply irresistible and a a heavenly for those who like their techno tool orientated.

Today we premiere a track from one of the most exciting names in Irish techno, Dylan Fogarty. The youngster debuts on Parisian label and event series @rawppl with his new track 'Da Funky Track' - a raw and bouncing groove that tips a hat to the golden era of 90's techno.

Dylan Fogarty debuts on RAW's infamous Summer Hits VA series for the first edition of the series that supplies all original tracks instead of its usual collection of reworks. The release calls gather a collection of techno producers from various corners of the world to supply some sun-soaked bangers that are sure to be on heavy rotation at festivals, club shows, and open airs this summer. With tracks from Hadone, Under Black Helmet, AK Sports, JKS, Pagan and more the compilation is a strong collection of bangers.

Hailing from Skerries Dylan Fogarty emerged at the tail end of 2022 with a deep and lengthy amount of unreleased techno funk. The newcomer has quickly impressed with a flurry of self-releases as well as featuring on ASW, Rave Your Soul, Concrete Berlin & more. Ireland’s newest arrival of loop-driven techno obsession has been gaining support from some of Europe's most in-demand selectors including DJ Heartstring, Tommy Holohan, Kettama, and more. Running off the back of a landmark Life Festival debut and a string of high-profile club shows, Dylan is a force to be reckoned with, and I'd be keeping a close eye on this talent.

Dylan Fogarty’s contribution to RAW Summer Hit's VA is a refreshing bouncing techno groove that is simply made for festival season. Dylan references the 90's techno scene coming from Sweden as 'Da Funky Track' takes influences from the likes of Adam Beyer & Samuel L. Session. A pulsating bassline plays off well-crafted syncopated drum grooves creating a simplistic yet utterly entrancing funked-up loop. Dylan captures the art of stripped-back techno funk, less is most definitely more when it comes to crafting this style. Outstanding as always.

Infusing breaks with huge ripping analog bass lines and catchy vocals lending to its head thrashing charisma. Hermeth’s carefree “no fucks” attitude is contagious and effective on the dance floor, embodying the Dionysian Aesthetic.

We premiere ‘ Do Ma Ting’, a slamming electro groove that leaves flavours of Mala through to Drexciya as the Swiss eradicates any thought of a rule-book on his latest release. He expertly blends new-age club focussed electro with the dexterity of classic Detroit sound-design, while still also harnessing his hip-hop influences – ultimately providing a piece of work that bone-crushing embodiment of electro past and present, while still firmly holding his middle finger to any thought of musical conformity. This one should be played loud, and with venomous attitude.

Four Four Premiere: Hermeth - Do Ma Ting [Dionysian Mysteries]

We premiere new music from from rising Irish techno producer Black Traffic IRE as he features on Reboot Records with a 5-track EP. We premiere ‘Guess Who’s Back’, a hardcore tinged techno weapon that is made to shatter warehouses.

Black Traffic returns to Reboot Records IRE with a full-fledged hardcore laced EP titled “All Of The Lights”. The 5 track offering is comprised of heavy hitting orginal techno weapons, specifically designed to make dancefloors quake. The youngster delivers a high octane 5 tracker that merges contemporary hard techno sounds with classic rave energy.

“We have been working on this EP over the last 4 months. We feel like it really shows my growth as an artist in terms of my sound and we wanted to represent that with both the track selection and album artwork. I started out making edits just like the title track and those edits really gave my career a massive boost. But, I wanted this EP to show my more technical side as a producer, especially in the harder side of dance music. I like to incorporate a lot of harder dance styles into my DJ sets, alongside some trance and melodic house elements and I think this EP shows that versatility. Special thanks to the reboot team for getting this over the line and letting me showcase my own sound. Hope you enjoy.” – Black Traffic

We feature ‘Guess Who’s Back’, a triumphant hard techno anthem that perfectly encapsulates Black Traffic’s development as a producer. The thunderous track show’s Black Traffic at his most venomous, perfectly interweaving grinding acid lines with imperious vocals and roaring rave stabs. Devastating kick drums take centre stage, as Black Traffic dynamically pulls the trigger on forging low-end punches as well as swapping into hardcore inspired bass gallops. This is unforgiving peak-time techno from an artist who refuses to conform to genre presumptions.

All Of The Lights

Four Four Premiere: Black Traffic - Guess Who's Back [Reboot Records]

We premiere new music from Glasgow-based duo Céleste as they ready their latest release on Transition. The dynamic pairing conjures up an elated trance groove that pays homage to the fun-loving spirit of Scotland’s rave scene throughout the naughties.

Glasgow-based Céleste are at the epicentre of a new generation of Glaswegian ravers, producers and DJs focused on bringing the joy back to their hallowed dancefloors and basement clubs. The pairing has become hometown favourites from holding residencies across two of Glasgow’s most established clubs Sub Club and The Berkley Suite.

The duo have carved out a distinctive sound that is characterised by infectious rolling grooves, trance-fueled energy and tongue-in-cheek styled edits. With a treasure trove of unreleased music in their arsenal, the duo are locked and loaded with an amalgamation of genre-bending tracks that are set to launch their career into the dance music stratosphere.

We premiere their latest offering, ‘UFO II’, a blistering trance groove that screams mid 00’s ecstasy-laced fun. Blending classic Scottish rave sounds, from rolling hardhouse-influenced bass grooves to bouncing trance chords and blissful hardcore-inspired vocal hits, this is a nod to a simpler time in dance music. Grab your Buckfast and your battered Air Max, this one is going full throttle.

It’s almost impossible to believe that a label with so much international notoriety is still within its first ten releases. Still, Belgian Techno protagonist Amelie Lens’ EXHALE imprint is set to make even more noise with its ninth release, set for release on the 26th of July

Championing the diversity of the modern-day techno paradigm, EXHALE’s latest VA dips its toe into a myriad of genres, with nods to
psytrance, breakbeat, hardstyle, classical and even drum & bass across thirteen freakishly heavy dancefloor-primed stompers. It’s everything you’d want from a release that showcases artistry in its simplest form

This week we welcome Dublin-based DJ and producer Jay Cullen to the Four Four Local Selection. Dial in for the next hour as Jay seamlessly skips through a range of old-school classics and bumping house. Heaters galore fused with an array of exceptional sounding organ house.

Jay has tirelessly dedicated himself to carving out a niche as an emerging force in the world of house music over the last few years. This has led him to share the stage with some of the genre’s most illustrious acts such as Eats Everything, Sam Divine, Route 94, Danny Howard, Sosa and so on.

Playing at international venues such as Mansion Mallorca and Plastik Ibiza, to a host of venues in Liverpool and every corner of Ireland which includes Belfast, Galway and Kerry, Jay has made a significant stamp in the music industry in his chosen scene. Despite being relatively new to the realm of production, 2025 looks promising for him to continue building on his current wave of momentum, we are excited to see and hear what the future holds for this young artist.

While house tends to be Jay’s musical cornerstone, his sonic palette extends far beyond the genre. Having developed an eclectic ear attuned to the diverse tastes of his audience, he effortlessly navigates through a span of genres such as hard house, old-school, tech-house and more throughout his Local Selection.

Local Selection 256: Jay Cullen

We revive our Global Selection series with a standout contribution from one of France's most authoritative selectors of his generation, Ivan Smagghe.

Ahead of his return to Dublin for Big Dish Go this weekend at Centre Point, Smagghe delivers a masterful hour of storytelling through sound. From shimmering downtempo rarities to deep, driving house cuts and smoky, electro-kissed grooves, his mix unfolds like the hazy soundtrack to a foggy morning in the hills of an undisclosed rave, transporting you there, or wherever your wandering mind takes you.

Few DJs can transform obscurity into dancefloor gold like Ivan Smagghe. With a musical ethos reminiscent of the late, great Andrew Weatherall, Smagghe acts as a raw conduit, channelling his notoriously esoteric record collection into the pulsing bodies beneath the strobe. His latest mix is yet another example of his singular talent—a deep dive into the avant-garde fringes of electronic music, held together by an intuitive understanding of groove and space.

Smagghe has long been at the intersection of Parisian hype and unwavering musical integrity. From his pioneering work with Black Strobe to his boundary-pushing productions as one half of It’s A Fine Line, he has received praise from some of the most respected names in electronic music, including James Murphy, Trevor Jackson, Ata, Optimo, and, of course, Weatherall himself. What is their shared mission? To demonstrate that electronic music is more than just a hedonistic soundtrack; it is a constantly evolving art form.

“I have very fond, if a bit blurred, memories of the Big Dish Go parties in the basement of Kennedy’s… Loud and wild they were but we live in the now and we must let that spirit live on. It’s just about freedom, in that mix (who cares what style it is) and in that ephemeral companionship with David Holmes. Freedom & Love”

Faoi Thalamh Records are set to release the next instalment in its various artists series. This third iteration aims to serve as a snapshot of Irish underground electronic music, with some of the most exciting artists currently operating in Éire and beyond.

Today we premiere MEJMI's track from the VA entitled, “Tike Myson”.

“Tike Myson” is a powerful exploration of identity and emotion, drawing inspiration from Sunil Sharpe's "Etaci." This track features a hard-hitting kick that drives the energy forward, complemented by a rumbling bassline that creates an uplifting "Irish drive," reminiscent of traditional Irish music.

From the outset, a high-pitched tense drone establishes a sense of anticipation, which finds release in a beautiful choir during the breakdown—a signature element of my production style. The contrasting interplay between serene choral harmonies and tense, alarming sounds represents the push and pull of my life and creative process

cable.percussion (Johnny McDowell) is a Dublin-based electronic music producer specialising in hardware-produced acid electronica. Active since early 2023, he is known for his energetic live performances and his unique style of psychological electronic music.

His music is brimming with playful melodies and otherworldly acid basslines over frenetic and often aggressive beats that defy the listener to figure out its genre. Not afraid to experiment with different styles, his sound is forward-thinking, eclectic and unpredictable, but consistently held together by his signature brain-wiggling acid sounds and pummeling breaks-infused drum patterns.

cable.percussion independently released his debut EP 'C.PERC' in August 2023, shortly after his debut live performance. He has since released the EP, 'Chrysalis' (Jan '24), and his first LP, '303 Mechanics' (Aug '24), with Dublin-based label Aduaine, as well as a 5-track EP called 'XYZ' with Icelandic label Intellitronic Bubble (Sep' 24), and has also recently had singles feature on various artists compilations with Aduaine (Paraben), as well as French label Tripalium Corp (Ketone).

He continues to play live sets regularly around Dublin, and has played with Dublin-based collectives including Dublin Modular, Live&Electric, Dissolve and Áise agus Éire, as well as opening for bands including FM Attack, Shakalak and Robin Blakey, and recently played a set on Dublin Digital Radio (hosted by resident Ecstatic Intervals).

cable.percussion's latest release - 11 mind-melting tracks collectively known as 'Acroplastics' - sees a further refinement in his sound, exploring a multitude of electronic genres and warping them into brain-bending acidified landscapes from outer space, designed to get the listener's brain dancing as much as their body.
