Singer / songwriter / guitarist

Malleus & Incus (John Burke & Michael Downing) are long time friends, DJs & producers based in Cork, Ireland.

Having met behind a pair record decks at a party in the late 90's, we have remained close friends and continue to be passionate about the music that brought us together all those years ago. Since then John has worked professionally as a music producer at his own recording studio (Claycastle studio) while Michael continued to Dj and started to take an interest in producing music professionally.

Having always been on the same page musically, attending the same festivals, parties and club nights, we eventually couldn't resist the idea of coming together to DJ and produce music together.

Also we’re now producing our own music that spans across genres ranging from deep melodic techno & house to progressive & tech house.
