STRAV
Dublin-based DJ/Producer, Founder of UNLIT, Groove-Driven Techno 

Hailing from the wild west of Ireland, Westport, Co. Mayo, STRAV is a 24-year-old DJ and producer carving a fierce path through Ireland’s underground. Deeply rooted in the raw, stripped-back energy of early 2000s techno and driven by a passion for groove-infused, percussive rhythms, his sets are built to ignite dancefloors and tunnel deep into the pulse of the night.

Cutting his teeth in the Sligo scene, he quickly became a key player, not just as a selector, but as an organiser and creative force behind some of the region’s most impactful events. From packed-out backrooms and makeshift venues to high-intensity club sessions, his reputation for tight mixing and hypnotic, rolling energy spread fast.

Now based in Dublin, STRAV is the founder and driving force behind UNLIT, an underground collective and event series pushing forward-thinking techno with no compromise. UNLIT isn’t just a brand, it’s a statement of intent, raw, unfiltered, and fiercely independent. Through it, STRAV is spotlighting emerging talent, curating heavy-hitting line-ups, and keeping Ireland’s underground alive and thriving.

Whether behind the decks or in the studio, every move is fuelled by a deep respect for the culture, an ear for groove, and a relentless desire to evolve.

Early 2000s techno energy, tribal grooves, pure underground intent.
