The deep house foundation in Ireland was built by a handful of legendary spots—the Art College in Belfast, The Pod in Dublin, and Sir Henry’s in Cork with Greg Dowling and Shane Johnson
@fishgodeeper Those spaces completely shaped my music journey. They inspired me to start DJing out—including a residency at the infamous Vico’s in Belfast back in ’94/’95—and ultimately to start producing my own tracks.
So to tune into the latest Fish Go Deep podcast and hear "Supernova" (from my upcoming EP on
@thefreebooterlounge ) as the opening track of the show is a massive full-circle moment for me.
Huge appreciation to Greg & Shane for supporting the music! If you're looking for world-class house music selections, make sure you subscribe to their show.
Massive respect as well to the heads who laid the foundations up North back then - Iain McCready

@sensolrecordings for supplying the vinyl at Phuturegroove.
Any Belfast crew remember those nights in Vico's back in the mid-90s?
