[DJ Smithy]

Every 1 besides Kiss fm DJ's
with the exception of dj slipmat. Not saying hes the best, but he's the only dj that buys the latest trance promos, who is on the air.
Lyspy is a really good progressive trance dj too.

[paddypaws]

How about indie ?, is there five indie Djs out there..... any thoughts?

[DJ Stinky Willy]

indi is better of played live and not in da club!

[i'm tellin ya strait]

with the exception of dj slipmat. Not saying hes the best, but he's the only dj that buys the latest trance promos, who is on the air.
Lyspy is a really good progressive trance dj too.


he's the only dj on the station thats allowed to play the records/cd's that he buys/downloads the rest of the dj's are told what to play on the station.
so unless the politics change on kiss we will never know the rest of the djs on kiss are capable of.


no disrespect to slipmat i think he is a well above average dj,plays some excellent trance has it well before anyone in cork.

[angelicious]

Holla at your boy!

Nah, he gigs around town too, not sure where these days though.

Raymond Franklin's pretty good. And Sparky, I'm ashamed to say I've not heard you play, my bad I know but I don't listen to Tech.

[queenie]

in this particular order:

1. Jeremy Murphy
2. J Rummy
3. J Remington
4. J Rizzla

[hungover_rebel]

the guy in one on saturdays (anyone know his name). . . was in there last week, must say i was very pleasantly surprised!!!

[angelicious]

the guy in one on saturdays (anyone know his name). . . was in there last week, must say i was very pleasantly surprised!!!

Gavin Payne (I think)

[hungover_rebel]

Gavin Payne (I think)

no, he's on fridays! young enough fella... hadnt been down there in about a year.. might take a wander down again next week, might of been a once off good night though!!!

[angelicious]

Dunno so...

I haven't been in town clubbing for months, (aside from the Mylo gig), I've a friend coming over from Wales this weekend & I haven't got a clue where to take her! I was thinking Havana's maybe, just to show her how truely horrendous it is. But that would be cruel, terribly terribly cruel. I couldn't do that, could I? She'd never come back!

[hungover_rebel]

honestly.. i was seriously impressed with this guy. fair enough he played the commercial stuff but it was mixed with loads of cool stuff, and the mixin was as good as any n cork!!

[K-J]

Id say My number 1 is Dj Harvey .... Legend!!! He has been out of the scene for a while but i think he is coming back soon? Think he might be playing in the white rooms in a while might be just rumours though????

[Steven]

greg and shane, probably the best dj's in the country.
raymond franklin is excellent

[Dj Sparks]

Nah, he gigs around town too, not sure where these days though.

Raymond Franklin's pretty good. And Sparky, I'm ashamed to say I've not heard you play, my bad I know but I don't listen to Tech.

ah girlie, u disappoint me. :( go to http://djsoc.ucc.ie and u can download 2 of my mixes there if ya wanna listen to em. should have another one goin up soon. be a bit better than the dated ones that are there at the moment.

and havent played on air in yonks cause of study and shit, and the fact that im stuck in cavan for the summer due to stupid work placement isnt helpin that cause either. hopefully they have a pirate station up there that i might be able to wing into. anybody know?

i think daithi was sayin that to me a while back.

[STEVIEG]

Greg and Shane for me no doubt.
Loads and loads of other quality DJs in Cork though, most have been mentioned but i don't think anyone gave props to the Chapter 5 soul lads. Some quality hip-hop DJs, most of who have played at Elementary. I always liked DJing with Bellyman, Donkeyman, Gina, Fork and those back in the day too and honourable mentions must go to the extremely talented Alan O'Keefe but he's now a rock star not a DJ! Also, watch out for Susie K from the next generation.

[Eire Eyes]

watch out for Susie K from the next generation.[/QUOTE]


really proud that Susie has come so far since the Soundz Collective days..
you're a star Stevie for doing and helping her so much

nice wan

[STEVIEG]

Yes, she's like a veteran now and she's still only 16!!!!First time i met her she was 11 DJing with Keith Synott-even then she was better than many!!!

[somelaughbiy]

Ya Greg O Shea would be my favourite along with Stevie G.

fair dues to ya for working with susie k.last time I heard her was years back on friendly.Thats mad biy.

[rocky black]

wot kinda stuff does she play?

[STEVIEG]

Hip-hop and r&b. I forgot to mention Val who plays in the Brog and the All about the Music guys (JD etc) who can move effortlessly from disco to house really well.

[Nicewanbiy]

Ronan C was great in the day i thought

[spudgun]

I think Neil Prendeville is fantastic.

[slave4scarlet]

Ian richards from freakfm rocks he has some real classic stuff

[DJ Stinky Willy]

Murphy,Kenefique,G man, Ian Richards

anyone who plays good tunes really.....

Honorouble mentions go to Dj Stinky WIlly - Holla at your Boy

Thanks for the shout out teknique but i never heard of G man and Ian richards who is they?


Holla Hollla Holla at your boy!

[drew]

the best dj is charlie kelly from fair city when he was djing on his pirate radio station from a vanette. i know not cork but well worth a mention

[spudgun]

Your not too bad either kid, afterall Alden Tyrell made a tune about you

[Funkster]

Graham Payne and John Daly are without doubt one of the best pair of djs in the city.
There are many great djs about in their designated styles and that is a great thing.
But for me personally its about blending and fusing great music from different eras,and they do it quite well!

Its a real "My Mother is Better than Your Mother" issue but its worth the mention anyway!

[cartoon]

Wiinding back the clock a little but would like to mention Mark Hurley at this point as well. Those Sunday afternoon sessions on the radio were fantastic. Loads of obscure deep house from little towns in Scandanavia. The stuff was so underground that when you'd call up the next week looking for something he played the week before he wouldn't know what you're on about!

I think some of those records used to vapourise after a few plays to make sure they didn't get too popular...probably wouldn't have discovered the Svek label without him.

Another soul that brightened up a mundane week was "the Rushman". Although I wasn't the biggest fan of this presentation skills when he arrived on radio first I have to say that towards the end of Radio Friendly I rarely missed Neil Rush's show. He played lot of Cork stuff as well which was a nice leg up for producers like us.

One of the best nights out I ever had was in the back bar of Zoes on a Friday night when Paul Murphy used to play there. The depth of his record box, knowledge of music and his programming were outstanding whether it was in a club or on the radio.

The Rushman is now madly in love and co-habiting with a lovely lady from Portugal called Joanna. I think we've seen the end of Neil's music days but he could prove me wrong yet...!!!

[GeogA']

Like Cartoon, I used to listen in to Marc Hurleys radio show every Sunday afternoon - I'd have a notepad and biro out, scribbling down the names of tunes I'd hear him play. Its a shame he's finished playing.

[Eoin]

Has Mark Hurley given up????

That's a shame. used to love his show on friendly as well, and I have 2 mix CDs of his that are outstanding.

Like Cartoon, I never would have heard of Svek without him. And I have him to thank for introducing me to Royal Family - The Pressure, one of my favourite ever house tracks.

As for best DJs in Cork, it's gotta be Greg and Shane, who are IMO the best djs in the country, and definitely my own personal favourite DJs.

Jamie Behan is an amazing techno DJ.

Ronan C was always excellent any time I saw him.

[dashka]

I THINK I'M THE BEST DJ IN CORK!!HAHAHA...ONLY MESSIN.... I reckon 1 v d best dj's in cork(well,county cork) is miss motif.She plays stuff slightly more techy than i'd b in2, completely different 2 her 'up&down' tune with scent, but her mixing is mint!!she has d harmonic mixing down2,pretty much every mix is smoother than carl cox's head,and her tune selection getz d crowd bouncin around!! Also big up 2 KC 4 his mixin..once again not reeely my style of ceol, but his mixin is well worth a mention!!!!!!

[Steven]

Have part of one of his mixes from maybe 98 - 99, some tunes on that, its only on cassette though, first & best deep house compilation ive ever heard.
One of the main reasons I got into deep house.
Had cascades of colour on it, think he used a line from that song as the title for the compilation, maybe "The Music is your Beacon"

[Derek B]

I've another quality mixtape of his called 'When it rains, it pours'.

[slick fingers]

1: MISS MOTIF As Dashka says, quality music, she's moving with the times, mixing is second to none, vocals are just spine tingling, great entertaining performances, and come like, who in the city has played to over a hundred thousand people in the last year!!! Album out soon... This girl rocks....

2: STEVIE G Basically, he started the Hip hop, R n B seen in Cork, Has gone from strength to strength, has his own radio slot... Doing his best for the music seen in Cork, Im not a big fan of his music, but he's definately one of the top dj's, because of he's dedication, hard work and he's love for music...

3: Greg & Shane Well, what can ya really say about them! Sheer quality..
Their still producing their own, still drawing the crowds... Think they have abit more in them though, time will tell!!!

[GeogA']

You can listen to some mixes by Marc at his website www.marchurley.com

[STEVIEG]

Stevie is Chris Courtney any good!!?

Just wonderin cos I know hom fierce well n if you say he's no good then I'll rip the piss out of him big time.

If on the other hand you say he's good then I'll tell him I asked you was he any good and you said "that twat.... nah biy he's fuckin shit....Chris Martin lookalike cunt" n Ill rip the piss out of him anyway!!!

Chris is a savage DJ and producer!
Really good!
I used spin with him down in Cobh a lot he's excellent
You can still call him a 'Chris martin lookalike" though, there's nothing he can do about that one! He's on here the odd time too and i met him on Bebo of all places the other day, so be wide, he's watching!

[Sue]

not to sure anymore about the djing skills in cork...stupidly went to savoy last night and must say was both disappointed with the crowd and the dj... Bring back the old days when clubbing was good in cork!!!

because the whole clubbing scene in cork revolves around the savoy :shock:

[Golden Biy]

greg and shane best house,
raymond franklin is class on his game,
the innercity lads are playing a blinder so hats off to drew, barry etc etc,
tall keith is probably the tallest and definately the gayest. by a long way. even gayer than dj gaylord who plays "im gayer than 2 men kissing" at the gay club on extra-gay night. keiths a damn fine dj though, if u can get passed the gay thing.

[hans aus dtschl]

Jamie.
End of.

[Sue]

Sean C ...Not really into savoy on normal nights.... must be just stuck in the passed when half moon and henrys etc was going on.. them were the days!!!

[hans aus dtschl]

[SeanC]

Sean C ...Not really into savoy on normal nights.... must be just stuck in the passed when half moon and henrys etc was going on.. them were the days!!!
Those were the days alright Sue. You should check out innercity @ fast eddies friday nights if that is your scene! you might have a different perspective then!

[faircop]

You can listen to some mixes by Marc at his website www.marchurley.com


Lovely Music!


this page is down, does anyone know what the storey is? or an alternative address

[DJ Tool]

DJs Gary D and Seany B are good. real scratchers. pure hiphop at its finest.
like some house and trance too but cant remember names off my head.

[~Tall Keith~]

1) Sheg and Grane

2) Adam "international space station bundar"

3) Ronan C

4) Colm Ninja Kennifick

5) im on the mark hurley apreciation bandwagon as well

6) Marq walsh

7) Stevie choon machine g

8) the bastard

John Barry, dj itchy, the optimist, adrian dunlea, neil rush, declan shine, neil corcoran all up ther too

"Here Golden Biy its all about the gay choons"

[i am who i am]

Corks finest dj in my opinion was the talented MR RONAN C
who in my opinion never saw his true potential out, i give this opinion on the backing of seeing so many good djs play all over the world and in our own fine city.

yes all of the other djs mentioned are very talented but for me RONAN was out on his own

[Nicewanbiy]

Ronan C without doubt.

[...blanco...]

Chris is a savage DJ and producer!
Really good!
I used spin with him down in Cobh a lot he's excellent
You can still call him a 'Chris martin lookalike" though, there's nothing he can do about that one! He's on here the odd time too and i met him on Bebo of all places the other day, so be wide, he's watching!

Nice one for the props Stevie boy,and yeah,I'm always watching!

[...blanco...]

[slick fingers]

Well me thinks theirs only two dj's in Cork at the moment, thats way ahead of the game..

Drew and Miss Motif..

Not because their technically the best dj's around, they play the freshest
sh1t.. And no-body looks more natural on the decks than them..

And thats what its all about, fresh music, fresh performances, professionalism, and knowing exactly how and what to deliver to the crowd..

;)

[midletonman]
