Back in the mid nineties, dance music was reaching heady heights in Dublin, with new and diverse nights opening up the clubbing world all the time. It wasnt long before Des OLeary caught the fever, and he soon started playing out his own original blend of house - deep and dirty beats with a relentless groove. His first break would prove to be a memorable one - at the now defunct, legendary Kitchen, owned by U2. At 26, Des is now in his ninth year of djing and still maintains a passion for getting the dance floor heaving each and every night.
Some recent residencies include:
Ham @ pod/redbox (www.pod.ie)
Fruit Fly @ pod/redbox - (www.pod.ie )
Prophecy @ spirit - (www.spiritdublin.com)
Sunday Roast @ the sugar club (www.thesugarclub.com)
Fibre @ Il Mondo - (www.fibre.ie)
Combined with his extensive repertoire of club experience in the capital, Des has rocked crowds at festivals such as Creamfields, where he played the Cream Arena and this years Global Gatherings HI FI festival in August. His relentless, intuitive style has garnered much attention, and has played alongside the likes of Justin Robertson, K-Klass, Medicine 8 , David Holmes, Felix the Housecat and Steve Angello to name but a few.
Abroad, his enthusiasm has earned him regular invitations to guest in several highly respected Eastern European venues, including:
Club Impulz - Maribor, Slovenia. ( www.impulz-futureclub.com)
Energy - Losinj, Croatia.
Fun Academy - Rijeka, Croatia.
Playa Nova - Barcelona, Spain
Back at home, Des has presented shows on Radio Nova (94.6), on Power Fm and Spin 103.8 as part of the Blue Radio collective. Over the past two years Des was involved promoting nights at FibrE, which featured the debut visit of Jupiter Ace, Filthy Rich and Steve Angello to the republic and the return of DJ Falcon to Irish turf.
With a sound characterised by chunky rhythms and fierce grooves, Des plays right across the spectrum - from tough, jackin house and chopped up beats to a more minimal sound with flawless mixing and unique layering. Performance is key to his style - Des realises and responds to the crowds significance and energy with diverse, spontaneous sets guaranteed to have the room electric and moving all night long.
Producing under the alias 'def disko', des has tracks signed to seedy records, omnis & bellarine records. His first release was featured on Masons BBC Radio 1 mix & recieved decorous reviews in i-dj & dj magazine! Check the player for new tracks.

listen to our latest release [BWO028] CORRUPT COPS EP - GARETH 2DARK supported by Randall Jones, Mike Wall, Dean Facer, Paul Loraine, Kiko Martinez, Igor Marijuan, Tony Rodriguez, DJ Mini and many more!! The first track 'Corrupt Cops' perfectly displays Gareth 2Dark's passion for big drum arrangements, rolling, techy basslines and wonderful melodic chord structures. The second track on the EP 'Northern Lights' has a more progressive Tech House touch and with its huge synth patterns and smoothly arranged drum layers it surely shows why Gareth 2Dark is known as the label's 4am Techno head. Watch out for these tracks it will make every crowd go wild in the early morning hours!!
