Saoirse

Her first for­ay into the field of elec­tron­ic music came at a very young age, accom­pa­ny­ing her moth­er to free par­ties and raves in her home coun­try of Ire­land. It was at these par­ties that her young ears began to make sense of the sounds from the likes of Left­field, Fluke & Orbital and a close alle­giance to elec­tron­ic music was forged. It wasn’t long before every last pen­ny was being spent on vinyl and every spare hour spent dig­ging for records old and new.

Once the door had been opened, Saoirse’s pas­sion grew steadi­ly into obses­sion and so Sound and Media col­lege seemed like a log­i­cal step upon leav­ing school, some­thing that opened the door into the world of radio. Her ear­li­er years saw her play numer­ous reg­u­lar shows on pirate radio sta­tions, before land­ing her own show on Ireland’s lead­ing media broad­cast­er, RTE. Saoirse’s love for radio remains, for the past 5 years Saoirse held a month­ly show on the infa­mous Rinse FM host­ing guests such as Call Super, DJ Deeon, Son­ja Moon­ear, Auro­ra Halal, Volvox & Leif, before going on to share her appre­ci­a­tion and knowl­edge for music on the UK’s largest broad­cast­er BBC as a Radio 1 resident.

Saoirse has more recent­ly stepped out as a pro­duc­er with her high­ly antic­i­pat­ed debut solo release on her own imprint trUst record­ings. TRST 001 is a 4 track EP writ­ten by Saoirse with the con­cept to show­case what you can typ­i­cal­ly expect from her as a DJ — jump­ing through an array of dance­floor moments, a track for each com­mon dance­floor feeling.

TRUST is one of the key foun­da­tions of safe­ty, with­in your­self and with oth­ers. Vital for good health and hap­pi­ness. The incep­tion of trUst record­ings was final­ly being able to trust in one’s own abil­i­ty. Trust in music made for dance­floors. Trust in its sim­plic­i­ty yet impor­tance. This label found­ed by Saoirse will be ask­ing those who she trusts, her­self, her friends and her most loved pro­duc­ers to join the label as col­lab­o­ra­tors and solo artists.

Saoirse has gained recog­ni­tion across the UK, Europe, Asia and the USA. Her broad, diverse record bag and genre jump­ing antics is a com­bi­na­tion that has seen her booked for a wide range of par­ties, across a num­ber of dif­fer­ent scenes. Whether it’s play­ing along­side Ricar­do Vil­lalo­bos in Lon­don, sup­port­ing Dj Stingray or play­ing next to Objekt in Paris, it’s clear that pro­mot­ers trust her abil­i­ty to deliv­er, what­ev­er the setting..

Saoirse is now a glob­al­ly respect­ed, albeit impos­si­ble to pro­nounce name and one can’t help but feel that this real­ly is her time.

Expect dub, house, jazz, elec­tro, garage, tech­no, ambi­ent, breaks and some sur­pris­es, along­side an unpre­dictable and cheeky mix­ing style cou­pled with pal­pa­ble pas­sion and creativity.
