Ireland’s new wave emo underbelly is bubbling, a Ireland’s new wave emo underbelly is bubbling, and @yesitscrim is leading the charge.

Out of all the artists to emerge from this internet-age culture, Crim has the most refined sound. His aesthetic, harmonies and songwriting are so distinctive in a sub genre were tracks and personalities can begin to sound the same.

we’ve been working behind the scenes w/ @hundred we’ve been working behind the scenes w/ @hundredstudio_ to develop a wicked new website for our @harbourmusicsociety agency!

It’s been a real pleasure working with labels such as @lobstertheremin, @shallnotfade, @touchsensitiverecords and @nocturnelabel - we have a vision to push great local acts into the frame of wider region, and to work collaboratively with international labels to ensure their own vision is captured correctly.

Check out the site and give us a shout if you want to work together! 🙏

Lock in for speedy g, 2-step and jungle! 1 4 when the sun is out!!! ☀️

Hey cru! It's no secret we're huge fans of sound Hey cru! 

It's no secret we're huge fans of sounds stemming from the UK - which have been an influence in our own parties and selections since we started. 

So, we've been busy adding lots of our favourite riddims to our new Spotify playlist - from garage and dubstep to UK techno and bass.

2020 was a year we would rather soon forget, but as toilet papers ran out we were treated to an abundance of great Irish music.
