Techno artist and @gobsmackedrecords boss. Producing electronic music, running underground parties, and making heads spin from behind turntables since the early noughties. Owner of the Gobsmacked label and various club-nights, Diarmaid has been promoting music through releases and underground events since 2007. Also the curator of the Audio Affair Broadcast series, which airs across over 20 global stations bi-weekly.

His regular DJ sets of heavy, energetic techno sets across the planet showcase both newly released music from underground artists, and his own productions. Delivered using a precise mixing style of heavy cutting and quick blending on three turntables, which creates a blur of constant track building akin to a multi-hour crescendo of Detroit, melodic, break-beat and industrial style techno with a dark streak.

amiina is a band based in Reykjavík Iceland. At present the band counts five people - Hildur Ársælsdóttir, María Huld Markan Sigfúsdóttir, Sólrún Sumarliðadóttir, Magnús Trygvason Eliassen and Guðmundur Vignir Karlsson (aka Kippi Kaninus).
The group's origins go back to the late 1990s, when four girls studying string instruments at the Reykjavík College of Music formed a string quartet. The group started out playing classical music, but increasingly moved on to play all sorts of music with various bands in Reykjavík.
In 1999 the quartet joined Icelandic band Sigur Rós on-stage. The collaboration continued for over a decade, with amiina contributing strings to Sigur Rós’ music on tour and in the recording studio on the albums ( ) , Takk, Með suð í eyrum við spilum endalaust and Valtari.
In 2004, amiina’s first EP, AnimaminA, was released, followed by the single “Seoul” (2006), the full-length album Kurr (2007), a Lee Hazlewood collaboration on a 7” vinyl Hilli (at the Top of...) (2008) and the limited release EP Re Minore (2009). In the autumn of 2007, drummer Magnús Trygvason Eliassen joined amiina on tour, adding percussion to the band’s textures. A few months later, collaboration between the electronic artist Kippi Kaninus and amiina was established while preparing a show together for the Reykjavík Arts Festival. The merging of Kippi Kaninus' electronics and rhythms with amiina's sounds and Magnús' percussion became the starting point for more established collaboration between the six musicians.
amiina’s second long playing album, the much acclaimed Puzzle, was released by the band in 2010 in Iceland, getting worldwide distribution the following year. The songs on Puzzle are more rhythmically rugged than amiina's previous work and feature heavier use of electronics. amiina's long-standing fondness for zero-g melodies and open-minded instrumentation, however, continues.
In 2009 amiina started to perform their original soundtracks to pioneering German filmmaker Lotte Reiniger's 1930's silhouette animations of the timeless fairy tales Sleeping Beauty, Cinderella and Aladdin. The so called Animagica program, originally performed at the Branchage film festival in Jersey, has now been put on show at Art festivals around the world.
The band released The Lighthouse Project in 2013, a work centered around some performances given in Icelandic lighthouses.
In between work with amiina and growing ever larger families, band members have also kept themselves busy, recording or touring with other artist such as Sigur Rós, Yann Tiersen, Spiritualized, Efterklang, Damien Rice, Yukihiro Takahasi, Canon Blue, Pétur Ben, Ben Forst Tilbury, Borko, múm, Jónsi & Alex, Kippi Kaninus, adhd, Moses Hightower and Sin Fang to name a few.

amiina's new album - Fantômas - will be released in November 2016. The release is inspired by the 1913 film Fantômas 2, which amiina is currently touring with an original live score.
