Gavin Herlihy

Pinning down Gavin Herlihy isn't easy. Only three years into his production career, his discography ranges from the epic techno of his acclaimed debut ‘Machine Ate My Homework’ or his 2009 single on Cocoon to his housier releases on Cadenza or Kindisch. His tracks have consistently earned praise from tastemakers like Luciano, Sven Vath or Laurent Garnier and earned him bookings at Berlin's Panorama Bar, Watergate and Bar 25, London's Circo Loco and TDK Cross Central festival, Amsterdam's Studio 80, Italy's Kama Kama or Brazil’s Warung Club and D’Edge.

Now living in Leeds, the Irish born, one time Londoner and recent Berliner was tipped by Carl Cox to be one of his Heroes of 2009 on his Global radio show at the start of the year. After moving to Berlin to further his music in 2007 he has released EPs and tracks on a range of different labels. As a remixer he's turned his hand to tracks by artists like UNKLE and Sasse as well as remixed for labels like Supernature, Fade and Get Physical. In June he submitted a mix for the hugely influential Ibiza Voice podcast series adding to a long list of mixes he's created for stations and podcasts like London's taste making Allez Allez, Carl Cox's Global radio show, Kiss 100, Galaxy FM among others.

Perhaps its thanks to a youth spent lost in the experimental rock of bands like Sonic Youth, Rage Against The Machine and Fugazi before uncovering electronic music during an eye opening trip to England at the tender age of 14 that’s lead to his obsession with futuristic music. During this pivotal trip he remembers in particular hearing early drum’n’bass on a north London pirate radio station. “It sounded like the future being beamed.”
