Irish-born DJ and curator Cormac has risen from underground secret to a commanding force in modern dance music. His take on Hi-NRG, Italo, house, techno and nu-wave captures the pulse of contemporary club culture, and as a longtime fixture at Berghain / Panorama Bar he commands dancefloors with an emotional precision and ecstatic energy that have made him one of the most trusted, forward-thinking selectors of his generation. From Sónar to Bassiani to Glastonbury, he's a familiar presence on the global club and festival circuit.
In 2021 he launched Polari Records, a label devoted to elevating LGBTQ+ artistry and championing queer creativity worldwide, reflecting his broader work as curator, community advocate and custodian of queer club heritage. As a producer he's released on revered labels including Ostgut Ton, Running Back and his own Polari, with remix credits for Lime and the iconic Kim Carnes, plus standout mixes for BBC Radio 1's Essential Mix and Resident Advisor. He also hosts the podcast Queerly Beloved.
Get ready for him at Sónar 2026.
