Chloe MooreMËRO is one of Ireland’s fastest-rising names, growing from humble beginnings in Mullingar to landing a slot at Tomorrowland, building a reputation for high-energy sets and a sound that’s as distinctive as it is versatile.
His trademark sound, a unique, bouncy rhythm laced with creative twists, has become a calling card, drawing in crowds who know they’ll get something fresh every time he steps behind the decks. But it’s his adaptability as a producer that really sets him apart; MËRO has a knack for shaping his music to fit any dancefloor without ever losing his own identity.
Touring since the age of 17, he’s already clocked up an impressive amount of live experience, from intimate club nights to bigger stages, each one sharpening his skills and building his confidence. That early start has given him a level of poise and professionalism rare for someone his age, but talk to him for even a few minutes, and it’s clear that at the heart of it all is pure passion.
Now, with a loyal following behind him and a growing catalogue of tracks, MËRO is more than ready to show the wider world what he’s about. For him, dance music isn’t just about beats and drops — it’s about creating a shared moment, a connection between artist and crowd that lives long after the night is over. And if his current trajectory is anything to go by, those moments are only going to get bigger, louder, and even more unforgettable.
You’re described as one of Ireland’s fastest-growing techno names, known for hard bounce and trance-inspired edits. How would you define MËRO’s signature sound, and where did the bounce aesthetic originate?
I’ve always loved bouncy tracks — whether it was off-beat organs, reverse bass, or even a bit of donk when I was younger. I loved listening to fast, bouncy music. My friends always hated my music taste when we were younger because it was different from everyone else at my age. It ended up working out because now they all love it! When I’m making my tracks now, I love putting in a good euphoric breakdown that then goes into a hard-hitting drop. Breaks are my favourite part of a track because that’s where you can really connect with the listener!
Since starting to DJ in early 2023, you’ve played over 50 gigs across Europe with sweaty, high-energy sets. How has your music evolved, performing live so early in your career?
Starting as a very naive DJ in the scene at just 17, I would say I learned and adapted pretty fast to what my crowds enjoyed and to the scene in general. It was pretty daunting, and I lacked confidence for some time, but as the shows went on, I built up my stage presence and my confidence very quickly. Since starting touring, I’ve learned not to follow trends just because I think they’re cool, but to actually make and play what I love and what people can connect with. I’ve now found my sound, and I love the music that I’m producing and playing at the moment!
Your debut single, “Somethin About You” was released on Warner Music in April 2023 and currently sits around 1.6 million streams. How did that release change your trajectory this past year?
In the past year, my sound has drifted from the sound of “Somethin About You.” Don’t get me wrong, I love the track and it’s done so much for me, but it’s a little too mainstream for my target audience right now. At the moment, I’m aiming towards the European kind of bounce/trance sound. I’ve been playing and making a lot of that style, and it always goes down a treat wherever I’m playing!
Your “Club Bizarr” edit dropped in July 2025. What makes an edit right for you, and how do you maintain artistic identity when reworking established tracks?
A MËRO edit will always have a signature acid line, signature siren (iykyk), fat bouncy bassline, euphoric breaks, and big club-ready drops. Since I started making them, they’ve become more perfected each time, every edit getting new and improved elements. I reuse many of the same sounds and tweak them to each edit’s needs. My edit sound has been so important in the trajectory of my career over the last couple of years, gaining me millions and millions of plays.
Which crowd reactions or standout gigs have shaped how you perform or pick tracks now?
Definitely my gig at Riviera Beach Club in Melbourne, sharing a lineup with some dream artists like Timmy Trumpet, Will Sparks, and Restricted. This gig gave me an insight into what the big stage feels like. I feel like I’m more than ready to take on all the big stages now! Also, making my Tomorrowland debut has really lit a fire inside me to get on that main stage one day. Getting to experience that so early in my career really meant a lot to me, and I’m hungrier than ever for it! If we were to talk about club gigs, I would have to say my Index gig. The crowd in Index is just the best — they know what they’re in for. I knew going in there I could experiment with some unreleased tracks and some new ones that I hadn’t played before.
You’re pulling serious numbers, over 160k streams a week on SoundCloud and 27k monthly on Spotify. How do you balance dropping free edits with releasing official tracks? Do you see one helping the other?
Yes, definitely. The free edits have helped me to gain a very loyal fan base, and now as I’m progressing in my career the main focus is on original music. I’ve got some big releases on some sick labels like No Mercy, 44 Label, Elektra and more, so I’m really excited for everyone to hear the original music I’ve been working on over the last few years!
What changes stand out to you when you listen back to your early tracks compared to newer ones like “Together Forever” or “Bounce To Da Rhythm”? Do you hear growth in how you produce, or even in how you see yourself as an artist?
Yes, 100%. Over the past year, I’ve put a lot of time into progressing as a producer. Spending more time on my projects has really helped to get a much cleaner and better standard of sound. I’m really happy with how my music is sounding at the moment! MËRO is not just about making edits; I have a much deeper understanding of music and want my original music to show that over the coming months.
What’s next for you? New collaborations, pushing further into originals, or exploring harder sub-genres?
Next for me… I just want to keep enjoying what I’m doing and working hard. Consistency is key in this game, so I’m focused on staying as consistent as possible. I’m really focusing on my development as an artist, always trying my best to gain new knowledge. Music-wise, we might be seeing a new label on the cards later this year — this is something I’ve always wanted to do, so keep an eye out! Touring-wise, I’m really looking forward to the next couple of months. I’ve got some huge gigs lined up in some sick venues like Fabrik Madrid, for example, in September — and lots more to come.
