Hello
Some news! I’m properly launching a new(ish) alias ‘ópax’ today with a self-released track called ‘scál’ an old Irish word for a supernatural being meaning giant or hero ⭐️
The track itself was originally written in 2022 and went through several rebirths with the name and structure - it tends to take me a while to get things over the line and realised so it feels good to finally share it with you all. The name ópax stems from the Irish preposition ó (from) and the latin word for peace (pax).
Ty to @max_filesize for help on the mix @opherings for the cover ☘️🤌🩵
Bandcamp & Soundcloud linkinbio..
My old alias will still be kicking about, just on the back burner for now.
Seems like the right time to be releasing stuff that has a bit of hope about it..
Much more to come
Grá mór
Ahead of the release of FLD021 tomorrow we’re happy to announce a run of cassettes available exclusively for now through our Bandcamp
50 available, shipped the week after release. Link where it always is.
Digi + tape available as a bundle
Full LP lands tomorrow

Hey I’ve got some new music out today on @araisarisx 👾
Big love to the team for having me on, these tracks are reanimated skeletons of ones I made just after I went around China a couple years ago - cheers to Rob for taking a chance on these ones when I wasn’t the most sure 🙏
All 3 tracks available to buy/stream in most places, as I said a few weeks ago any forthcoming stuff from myself and my previous catalogue + entire discography on @flood_irl is in the process of being removed from Spotify - would encourage heads to join the @nomusicforgenocide boycott as well, least we can do
More to come in the near future 🪼
Grá mór
Thanks again @dj__egg for the slick cover 😎🩵
Next up on AAA records, to coincide with our @feilenagreine takeover tonight (🫣) we are thrilled to present three 100% certified modern club bangers from one of our favs: @doubt_fld .❤️❤️
Go pre-order now on our BC - one track is available now (slide 5!) with the rest on 19 Sept 👌
Do you know Ollie aka Doubt from legendary Cork party, @dosecork ? Or perhaps from one of Ireland’s most consistent underground dance music labels, Flood? Maybe you’ve seen him slay down Banger Cliff at OpenEar on Sherkin Island, headline Ar Ais Arís on New Years in the Áras or at the AAA takeover at Féile na Gréine (tonight!!!)? Or attended one of his very vibey Soilse nights in Glasgow?
As well as these legendary contributions to Irish club culture and beyond, Doubt is one of Ireland’s finest club music producers.
On this EP, its energy and drama to the fore. The emphasis on heavy percussion hints at Doubt’s ‘hard drum’ background, but this EP goes much further with Hud-mo-like (h/t to the Glasgow heads) brightness and swagger. From the big lean into the groove on C Error, and the brash percussive force of Troops, through to the frenetic colour of Lurkling, we think this is Doubt’s most arresting release to date and we’re very proud to have it on our lil label - thanks Ollie!! ❤️
The Doubt EP is out on the 19th September.

New single ‘úna bhán’ from Ian Nyquist’s forthcoming LP ‘gilded’ now available to buy/stream through Bandcamp.
On ‘úna bhán’, Cork’s sean-nós singer Lorcán Mac Mathúna brings a sacred and ethereal quality to the 18th-century love song, his voice floating assuredly over Nyquist’s sparse, shimmering arrangement.
Full LP releases 05/09/25

FLD021
‘Traditions are never static; they are reiterated, redigested and recast’
Truly an honour to announce that Ian Nyquist’s forthcoming LP ‘Gilded’ will be released through Flood this September
‘The beating heart around which ‘Gilded’ is woven is the bodhrán, a native Irish frame drum with which Nyquist uses innovative techniques to push the instrument beyond its ordinary confines.
Mirroring the instrument’s sound through modelling software, the album’s title itself nods to a theme of transformation, suggesting something familiar burnished to a new brilliance, giving it new life. The result being a truly unique unfurling of the harmonic, hypnotic and rhythmic potential of the bodhrán.’
Bandcamp pre-order available in our bio, ‘jig’ now available to stream/buy through Bandcamp for now.
More details to come in the months ahead..

Shepherding us into the night is Irish club luminary @doubt_fld . We are thrilled for his return to Dublin!
Ordered chaos, driving percussion & a firm belief in the collective potentiality of ‘the club’ are key to Doubt’s approach to building his sets. Fuelling the floor is his objective. Balancing between subtlety and the anthemic, he weaves in and out of haunting builds and forceful releases.
His productions echo this ethos - drum laden fodder for the murky early hours inspired by disparate corners of club music. Trax crafted with movement and feeling at their core.
song: Soilse - Doubt
One week to go! Tickets via RA. Please dm the account for concession 🎶💫
