Limerick lad, DJ Code, started Subtle Audio Recordings in 2005 and has been pushing the boundaries of deep / experimental breakbeat Drum & Bass ever since.

From the seminal ‘How You Make Me Feel’ alongside ST Files, to his more recent output alongside the likes of Calibre (as Mist:ical) and Martyn, his productions are renowned for pushing boundaries whilst retaining broad appeal. Marcus’ DJ sets follow suit and have earned him a reputation as a tastemaker, not afraid to test crowds with a fresh high quality selection from across the spectrum of drum and bass. A passion for techno runs deeply through his music and his sets, as shown by his latest solo EP and the influential DAT Music series on Soul:r. He represents Soul:ution with a popular residency at the legendary Fabric club and a highly revered radio show for Red Bull Music Academy.
Hertz-u present Goldie (History of Metalheadz set)
plus guests: Fraher, Bonz, Synergy
Andrew’s Lane, St Andrew’s Lane, Dublin 2
Friday October 30th
Admission: €15 / Doors: 11pm – late
Starting out as a graffiti artist, earning commissions from local councils in the UK, Goldie moved to America when he began fitting gold teeth (hence his artist name), and where he also appeared in the grafitti art-movie ‘Bombing’. He returned to the UK and became a convert to rave after being taken to Rage by DJ Kemistry, and eventually started doing design work for Reinforced Records, before working as A & R for the label. Goldie quickly became one of the most famous figures in drum n’ bass, releasing various landmark records on a plethora of leading labels, but most importantly establishing the legendary Metalheadz (label
and club night). For this special set at DEAF, he traces the history of Metalheadz through 15 years on the cutting edge.
