Bryan Kearney has established himself firmly on the dance scene in Ireland and beyond over the last few years with his sets containing the very best in upfront trance and techno with the emphasis always on energy and the unexpected.
He was a permanent fixture on the airwaves of Dublin throughout 2002 and 2003 with prime time shows on Energy Fm and Kiss Fm providing the capital with the very best in brand new material each week. In 2003, Bryan began his own night Tranceformation in the Crypt at the legendary Temple Theatre. Each of the three nights was a full house which in turn led to him warming up for the likes of MIKE and Lisa Lashes on the main stage.
At the same time, he had began to get into producing and obtained a Higher National Diploma in Sound Operations and Music Technology. His collaboration with John O'Callaghan entitled Restricted Motion was signed to Discover Records by label boss John Askew. Askew was so impressed with the track that he decided to designate himself for remix duties. The track has become a cult classic and one of Bryan and John's proudest moments.
In 2005, he completed a remix of one of his all time favourite tracks, the massive Lost Emotions by Fire & Ice. The track has become bigger than first thought possible with the remix been signed for full release by the legendary Bonzai Records. Bryan is the first Irish producer to have a production signed to Bonzai. The remix was featured on Matt Hardwick's Essential Mix and was the midnight track at UK super-club Passion on NYE. The track is set for full release in May on sub label Banshee Works.
His track with O'Callaghan, Exactly, singed to Discover Records was regarded by many as the track of the Winter Music Conference 06, and became a firm favourite of Armin Van Buuren and Paul Van Dyk. It was remixed by one of his idols, Giuseppe Ottaviani of NU-NRG, and was requested for no less than fifteen album compilations. It is one of the strongest trance packages to be released this year. The track is considered by many to be one of the best tunes of the year and one of the biggest trance anthems of Ibiza 2006.
2006 continues to be a massive year as he continues to develop his sound with various solo projects and collaborations in the pipeline, in various styles of dance music. Combined with his three residencies at the Vaults in Dublin and with continued DJ bookings at home and abroad including The Gallery at Turnmills and various nights around the UK the future does indeed look bright.
