Founder / DJ for Kapital Music, Edinburgh

Born in Dublin, Ireland. Barry O’Connell is an Edinburgh-based DJ, producer and founder of the forward-thinking techno and electronic club night, Kapital.

He has been instrumental in crafting Kapital’s defining sound, which takes in everything from deep driving techno, to minimal tech house and trippy melodic electronics.

Of his DJ style, Barry says, “I enjoy trying to make a set flow well and I try to stay clear of a constant kick driven 4×4 techno sound, but like to think of it more as a melodic journey with the odd moment of twisted madness”.

Previous Kapital bookings include: Jon Hopkins, Gui Boratto, James Holden, Dominik Eulberg, Michael Mayer, Stephan Bodzin,  Gaiser, Adriatique, Matador, Patrice Baumel, Mathew Jonson, Anja Schneider, Ellen Allien, Extrawelt, Daniel Avery, Max Cooper, Ivan Smagghe, Oliver Huntemann, Nathan Fake, Paul Ritch, Ryan Davis, Alex Smoke, Pier Bucci, Damian Lazarus, Paul Daley (Leftfield)...

Flash Forward is a show about possible (and not so possible) future scenarios. What would the warranty on a sex robot look like? How would diplomacy work if we couldn’t lie? Could there ever be a fecal transplant black market? (Complicated, it wouldn’t, and yes, respectively, in case you’re curious.) Hosted and produced by award winning science journalist Rose Eveleth, each episode combines audio drama and journalism to go deep on potential tomorrows, and uncovers what those futures might really be like. The future is going to be weird, so let's get ready for it together.

OFFICIAL BIO
Regarded upon his 2006 arrival as a promising beatmaker looming in the shadows of J Dilla, Madlib, waterfalls and Dabrye, Steven Ellison -- known as Flying Lotus -- nullified all comparisons only two years later with Los Angeles. On that album, his first of five for the Warp label, Ellison distilled a uniquely crisp, spasmodic, and heady sound with elements of hip-hop, avant-garde jazz, IDM, and dubstep. While the abovementioned producers fueled Ellison, he had also been excited as a youngster by the '90s West Coast rap classics that combined programming and live instrumentation. His sound continued to develop as he put his own twist on the approach, recording with a crop of jazz musicians including the indispensable likes of bassist Thundercat and strings master Miguel Atwood-Ferguson. This process began with the turbulent 2010 set Cosmogramma and peaked in terms of acclaim in 2014 with You're Dead!, which crashed the Top 20 of the Billboard 200 and spawned the Kendrick Lamar collaboration "Never Catch Me," a Grammy nominee for Best Dance Recording. Ellison devoted a few years to various forms of film work and the operation of his revered Brainfeeder label, and returned in 2019 with Flamagra, his second consecutive album to top Billboard's Dance/Electronic chart.
