Max HeyraudThis week’s Local Selection comes from Waterford-based, B.R.E.D. The Enigma resident delivers a churning hour mix that is oozing with unrelenting hypnotic rhythms and screwface stompers.
Waterfor’s B.R.E.D has made a reputation for himself on the Irish scene in recent years. Known for his keen ear for threatening hypnotic cuts, the young DJ’s merciless approach to music selection has propelled him to the forefront of Ireland’s techno scene in recent years.
He has performed at Electric Picnic for the previous three years and most recently headlined Saturday at Village Hall, enthralling the audience with his distinctly poweful arsenal of techno weapons. Beyond the festival circuit, B.R.E.D has been leaving his mark on Ireland’s club circuit while showcasing his groove-focussed sound across the country.
As a member of Enigma, he has worked with some of the most creative minds in the Irish scene, pushing the frontiers of electronic music in the Southeast. With a passion for pushing boundaries in his home town of Waterford, the young artist’s dedication to carving out unique dance spaces has seen him gain support from some of Ireland’s most revered tastemakers.
B.R.E.D’s contribution to the Local Selection is marked by his persistent intensity, with pulsating bass grooves and smoky soundscapes creating an otherworldly atmosphere. The youngster keeps his finger on the trigger throughout as he gradually increases the energy while layering crawling half-steppers and dizzying spacey tools to add depth and complexity.
