Hello everyone, welcome along to another EXCLUSIVE PFG Progcast, our weekly trip around Planet Progressive...

The starship crew has a day off today because why? Its St. Patricks Day! It's a huge day in the calendar for PFG, as half of the admin team are from or based on the Emerald Isle.  The day when all Irishmen and Women around the world shout 'SLÁINTE MHATH' and party hard! We believe we've found the perfect soundtrack to your Paddy's Day celebrations too, well of course we have!!

Ladies and Gents, with a specially extended Paddy's Day set, please give it up for one of Dublins most talented DJ/Producer's and a firm favourite of everyone who knows him, in the group and his hometown..... https://soundcloud.com/khankra?utm_source=clipboard&utm_medium=text&utm_campaign=social_sharing (Dave Morrissey) 

Hailing from Dublin, Ireland, Khankra’s passion for electronic music started at a young age and has continued to evolve with time. Khankra’s roots have always been entwined in hypnotic grooves, rolling basslines and driving melodies. 

At 17 he purchased his first set of 1210’s and from there began forging a name for himself in the Dublin scene, playing at nights across some of the city’s best clubs like The Pod, the Button Factory, Traffic, Mono, The Chocolate Bar. 

After a hiatus from the scene, in 2014 Khankra had the opportunity to warm up for industry icon, and personal hero, Sasha at The Button Factory. 

Following this, Khankra teamed up with the Melodic Residents and handed the headphones over to some other industry legends during this time, including Nick Warren, Sebastien Leger, Los Soruba, The Drifter and Guy J on a number of memorable occasions. 

In late 2019, Khankra teamed up with DJ’s Glenn Molloy, Soulfinder and Ger Bozyk to form Fusion Underground. Since then the group have started the Fusion Underground Mix series, which has had some excellent support across the industry and continues to grow.

As we move into 2021, Khankra has a number of Production projects in play, adding to his releases already on Compatible Records. We should also expect to see Khankra and some top acts playing at Fusion Underground gigs in the near future!

PFG The Progcast - Episode 55 - Khankra (St. Patricks Day Special)

Addiction. Its a word with mostly sinister connotations, but for Glenn Molloy, it was his addiction to music that makes him feel alive. “I’ve always liked music.” He says, “As a child, once I realised I got goosebumps and spine tingles from listening to loud music I became immersed.” It’s a tale as old as the hills but something that bands DJs from all walks of life together: that epiphany moment. Nothing can quench the desire to search for all the music they find, always looking for the next fix; the perfect beat, the warmth of a pad, the thrill of a joyous piano line.   Formulating his tastes on The Prodigy, Shades of Rhythm and Altern-8 courtesy of his older brothers rave tape collection, he became fascinated by early progressive house and began to collect the Renaissance and Global Underground CDs.Growing up in Blanchardstown, Glenn wasn’t far from the 24/7 action of Dublin. It was there his fascination with dance music took hold completely at clubs like Redbox watching John Digweed  weave his dystopian tale, or The Village, where Darren Emerson would destroy the dancefloor. Leading on of course to finding out about secret afterparties, and finally, commanding the room himself at a memorial night for a fallen friend.   Residencies followed and Glenn built a good name for himself in the city. Now developing a club night with fellow Dubliners Soulfinder, Gerard Bozyk, and Khankra called Fusion Underground, his ambition grows. With influences as disparate as Sasha, Rodriguez Jr., Super Flu and Carl Cox, his style is an amalgam of melodic house and tough tech flavours that he splits between his Glenn Molloy and Gorgonoize aliases. Production continues to be his biggest adventure to date. After some masterclasses with local hero, Will Kinsella (Hybrasil), Glenn now has tracks signed to Circus ,Perfecto, Asymmetric, Pro B Tech,  Arrvl, with upcoming releases on Mirabilis and more. more recently his productions have been played and supported by scene heavyweights, such as Paul Oakenfold, Nick Muir ,Hernan Cattaneo, Luke Brancaccio, Dj Ruby.  Looking forward to the future, Glenn is ready to take that next step in his artistic development and play internationally pushing on with bigger and better events and growing his own night into something memorable. Addiction doesn’t always take a downward spiral, Glenn Molloy is only just getting started.
