Cormac (Polari/Running Back/Ostgut Ton/Correspondant)

Once a hidden gem in the dance music world, Cormac’s reputation as a respected selector has risen . Originally from the North of Ireland, he’s known for his signature mix of HI-NRG, house, techno, and nu-wave—sounds that have made him a fixture and influence on the international electronic music circuit. His acclaimed sets have been notable highlights at clubs and festivals such as Panorama Bar, Sónar, Bassiani, Glastonbury, fabric, WHOLE Festival, and beyond.

A former dancefloor regular at iconic nights like Trade, Nag Nag Nag, and Bugged Out!, Cormac has been DJing for over two decades. His marathon closing sets at Berghain’s Panorama Bar—sometimes running 11 hours or more—have become the stuff of legend, reinforcing his status as one of the scene’s most trusted selectors.

In 2021, he launched Polari Records, a label dedicated to showcasing LGBTQ+ artistry, with releases from both rising talents and established names.

Beyond the booth, Cormac has been featured on magazine covers in Germany, the U.S., and the UK, and has contributed standout mixes to BBC Radio 1’s Essential Mix, Beats in Space, Resident Advisor, and DJ Mag.

In January 2024, he debuted his podcast Cormac’s Queerly Beloved, where he speaks with LGBTQIA+ artists and allies about the role music plays in their lives. As a host, he brings warmth, curiosity, and a deepening commitment to his work as a queer health advocate and queer history archivist.
