Music Performance

Chaz Moloney, Mejmi & Doileir have been propelling their careers across Ireland. Catch them in Cobh on Culture Night – September 20th.

CHAZ has been at the forefront of Limerick’s underground dance scene over the last decade, through regular appearances as both a DJ and promoter, while making regular appearances on Ireland’s Festival & Club Circuit.

CHAZ has recently been collecting hardware and slowly transforming his craft from DJ to Live artist. Developing a modular system that allows him to be fully creative and express & relay the atmosphere of any room he performs in. Summer of 2023, audiences saw elements of the Live show as Chaz appeared at coastal raves in Ireland before finally taking it to debut at Fuinneamh Festival, King John’s Castle for Culture Night and a Sold Out headline show in Belltable Theatre, Limerick.

MEJMI is an artist on the up, and for good reason. Balancing several projects, from running her event series Club Economy, co-curating the online radio show Síbín, producing potent techno and DJing across Ireland, the Galway-born, Cork-based talent is one of the most dedicated, creative and innovative names in the scene.

Her sound stems from the hypnotic, shadowy and groovy corners of techno, blending spectral atmospheres with old-skool flavours. A knowledgeable selector using vinyl and digital formats, she respects the genre’s roots and pays homage to the eras that have shaped dance music culture as we know it today.

DOILÉIR

As one of Ireland’s top techno DJs, he is dedicated to vinyl-only sets, delivering everything from wonky techno to hypnotic techno to electro. With a versatile taste in music, he has supported Sunil Sharpe, Bas Mooy, Keepsakes, Decka, EAS, and Tremor, among many other leading names.

Having built his reputation as a vinyl DJ, he is now expanding into live performances. Much like his DJ sets, his live performances range from wonky techno to hypnotic techno to electro.
