Bio

moossmann doesn’t like to be called a DJ. Once a mainstay at Dublin’s Academy venue and the now-defunct Tripod, moossmann avoided the DJ archetype from the beginning. “There are no CDs, Vinyls or Memory Sticks involved.”

A self-confessed Ableton Live aficionado, moossmann was an early adapter to OSC (Open Sound Control) and unconventional workflows. Using a highly-customisable touchscreen controller and forward-thinking software plugins and runtimes, moossmann is able to deliver a consistent yet unique live show every time. “Stability isn’t an issue at this stage – the live setup runs perfectly smooth until perhaps someone spills a drink!”

Liveset aside, moossmann has a long list of original material under his belt, including an acclaimed and much blogged about EP. The moossmann “sound” is widely described as tech-house, but regularly enters the realms of Techno, Deep House and Electronica in it’s broadest sense. Using some of the best analogue emulation out there, along with ‘found sound’ percussion, expect meticulous fidelity with a lot of analogue warmth!

moossmann has performed at 10daysindublin, has played support for James Holden and featured in 2014′s Beatyard festival, in association with Bodytonic. It’s undeniable that moosmann is an exciting name in Irish electronic music right now and is certainly one to watch for 2014.
