Max HeyraudThis week’s Local Selection comes courtesy of Belfast’s own FOLZ, who delivers a grime-soaked, club-ready hour packed with hard-edged edits, gnarly reese basslines and punchy speed-garage percussion.
A rising DJ and producer from Belfast, FOLZ has been steadily carving out a trance-leaning, high-octane sound defined by emotional chord work, rolling ‘90s drum patterns and flashes of drill-techno grit. His sets and productions sit comfortably in that sweet spot between euphoria and aggression.
His touring schedule reflects the momentum behind him. FOLZ has played across Ireland, the UK and mainland Europe, with standout appearances at SWG3, Eden Ibiza, Ibiza Rocks, Index, LimeLight Belfast, and The Telegraph Building. Along the way, he’s shared stages with heavy-hitters such as blk., FJAAK, Skin On Skin, Clouds, Charlie Sparks, Ben Hemsley and Hannah Laing, further cementing his position in the fast-rising new wave of peak-time artists.
For his Local Selection contribution, FOLZ channels the full spectrum of his sound: uplifting trance emotion, heavyweight club pressure, and bursts of drill-techno propulsion, stitched together into a rapid-fire, high-energy journey. A juggernaut from the jump, it’s a mix built to rattle warehouses.
