On a mission to sound record all of Ireland's bird species: I am an ornithologist who loves to get out in and sound record nature. Happiest when as far away from anthropogenic noise as possible, although I do and will record and share it now and then, when I am in an interesting location.

This account is intended to host my longer bird recordings and recordings which don't belong on Xeno-canto (general nature sounds such as waves, weather, etc, as well as any other non-avian sounds)

Most of my birds recordings (almost 5000) can be found on my Xeno-canto page: https://xeno-canto.org/contributor/PAEQEUHPFQ

See my website here: http://irishwildlifesounds.com/

I primarily record with the following:

-Dodotronic Hi-Sound Stereo Parabola
-Audio Technica BP4025
-Clippy EM272 matched pair

-Zoom F6
-Olympus LS-12
-SM4 Mini: 2 x permanent devices living in coastal bird hotspots, recording every night of the year, from dusk to dawn, monitoring nocturnal migration of birds.

Since the early 1990s, Phat Phil Cooper has been navigating DJ culture with a restless spirit and an open ear, shaping a career that has never stood still. From Cream’s legendary dance-floors to sun-drenched terraces across the globe, Cooper has built a reputation not just as a DJ, but as a curator, artist manager, label founder, and storyteller whose journey continues to evolve.

In 2012 he launched NuNorthern Soul, a label that has since become a lighthouse for Balearic-minded sounds and eclectic treasures. Its releases, supported worldwide by DJs and collectors, reflect Cooper’s belief in music as something both timeless and borderless. More than a record label, NuNorthern Soul is part of a broader vision that blends curation, community, and a dedication to championing artists and sounds that might otherwise go unheard.

Now, with over three decades of experience, Cooper is moving beyond the booth. His current projects — from managing and developing artists, to creating YouTube vlogging series that explore culture, landscapes and hidden corners of places like Ibiza, Istanbul and beyond — point towards a future where DJing, storytelling and travel are interwoven. Whether capturing a sunset set in Bali, walking and talking with fellow artists on Ibiza’s coastal paths, or documenting his slow, overland travels across continents, Cooper is carving a new role: that of a cultural guide as much as a selector.

Still, at the heart of it all is the same spirit that defined his earliest residencies — an instinct for the right record at the right moment, and a commitment to creating shared moments that linger long after the music fades. The journey isn’t finished; if anything, it’s only just opening up into new chapters.

PhoenixFire's passion is creating deeply transformative dance journeys in 432 Hertz that elevate the crowd into spaces of authentic joy and magic.

PhoenixFire has been bringing magic to global dance floors for over 2 decades and has featured at several wellness and EDM festivals in locations like Bali, Hawaii, Mexico and has collaborated with artists like JAKARE (Italy) and Symphony (Mex).

He also hosts regular Ectstatic Dance events in San MIguel de Allende in Mexico.
