DS Interview: Bryan Kearney [UK]




Before the much anticipated Digital Society Summer Event Live in Leeds, DS caught up with one of the headline acts, Bryan Kearney.



Hey Bryan, Hope your well – How has 2010 been for you so far? Its been a busy 12 months on the DJ Front from what we hear – Any standout performances?


Hi mate. I had a very difficult start to the year with regards to gigs but I'm glad to say that I'm through the worst of it now and I think I have the busiest diary on my agency which is a massive relief to myself and my bank account. I've just got back from Mexico where I appeared at a festival called Eurofest alongside Sean Tyas, Simon Patterson, Roger Shah and Manuel Le Saux. It was an incredible experience and I can't wait to go back. I have gigs in Sweden, U.S.A, Ireland, Northern Ireland, Scotland and England all coming up over the next four weeks so will be getting plenty of travelling done. Other stand out gigs over the past year include Sunrise Festival in Poland, Inside Out at The Arches, Passion at The Emporium and also my three date tour of Argentina last August. I've had some amazing experiences and I hope they are just a sign of things to come.


Alongside the DJ’ing, the production has really gone from strength to strength recently, and you have had some great releases to date. Have you any new material in the pipeline?


Personally I think this has been my strongest production year to date and I am very happy with my output from the studio. I have just signed a big room trancer called "Goosebumps" to John O'Callaghan's Subculture label which will hopefully be heard all summer in Ibiza. I also have a vocal track forthcoming on Garuda which is something completely different from myself but at the same time I never want to be pigeonholed as a DJ/producer of just one style and want to continuously show my versatility both in the studio and in the clubs. I am also just about to launch my own label KEARNAGE Recordings which will cater for all of my side projects (slightly crazier material) and have some fantastic tracks forthcoming on that. I have so much stuff going on right across the board so there is certainly plenty of stuff forthcoming from myself.


Sounds like a busy year ahead! This June you are making your 1st appearance at Digital Society Leeds, at the O2 Academy - What your thoughts on the brands impact within the UK scene?


I have to say it's been an impressive and very successful story to date plus it's a night that I've wanted to perform at for a number of years. I'm delighted to get the opportunity to play there in June. The progress that the club night has made over the past few years is a huge accomplishment and conclusive evidence that when a target is set and the correct action is taken then it can be achieved and for that Digital Soceity should be commended. The club night itself has made a big impact on the UK scene. For a relatively new club night to be ranked alongside the likes of Godskitchen ,attracting massive names such as Above & Beyond and having such a loyal following is testament to this.


What can the DS faithful expect from you musically at the Summer Event Live? Any message for the people of Leeds?


Lots and lots of energy. I'll be finishing the night off so it's my job to keep people in the club and to also send them home with a smile on their face.I will have to find the right balance between power and pleasure. There will of course be the usual unexpected surprises that I love to dig out at the right time. Prepare to dance.


Finally, any interesting / funny stories that you would like to share with the DS faithful?


There are plenty of stories but I don't think many of them can be repeated ;-)....



Thanks for your time Bryan, Looking forward to welcoming you to DS!


Thanks mate, see you then.



Catch Bryan Kearney on Friday 11th June at Digital Society, O2 Academy Leeds alongside, Lange, Simon Patterson, Sean Tyas + many more!

Before the much anticipated Digital Society Summer Event Live in Leeds, DS caught up with one of the headline acts, Leon Bolier [NL]




Hey Leon, Hope your well – How has 2010 been for you so far? Its been a busy 12 months on the DJ Front from what we hear – Any standout performances?


Hey there! 2010 has been all about gigs and working on my new artist album. One of the standout performances was the first time we exported our Streamlined party-concept abroad – to Hungary in fact. We will look into doing so more often, and to other countries as well, so let’s see what the future brings!


Alongside the DJ’ing, the production has really gone from strength to strength recently, and you have had some great releases to date. Have you any new material in the pipeline?


Definitely have! As said, I’m working on a new artist album, which is going to be a double CD once again, in the end 24 or 25 new tracks will end up there. Some of ‘em already have been released, since my track Shimamoto was the first track that has been taken from the album and has been released as a single, afterwards it was 2099 with Marcus Schössow and Dark Star with Sied van Riel – and my new solo single ‘That Morning’ is being promoted as we speak, release date for the single is June 22nd, the whole album will be out on August 31st.


You have recently started your own label ‘Streamlined’ in May 2010, and the first release was 'Bolier vs Van Riel -Dark Star', how is that all going for you? And can we look forward to any more upcoming material on the label in the near future?


The ‘That Morning’ release and the album release will be out on the label, and I signed a new track by Daniel Kandi as well. Apart from that I’m planning to sign more material by other artists as well.


Sounds like a busy year ahead! This June you are making your 3rd appearance at Digital Society Leeds, at the O2 Academy - What your thoughts on the brands impact within the UK scene?


It is nice to see that the DS nights have been growing over the time, I think I even played at the first DS event, and ever since it has been fun to come back to Leeds anyway. I think DS is a new strong player in the UK clubbing scene, given the fact that you as an organization grew, and now actually are able to expand your nights to the O2 Academy etcetera. You know I always have warm feelings for the DS crew so apart from observing the facts, I’m really happy for you guys that everything goes so well.


What can the DS faithful expect from you musically at the Summer Event Live? Any message for the people of Leeds?


As it’s a one hour set, I won’t build up too much but will bang it out from the beginning. Of course I will test some new album material as well, so if you’re up for some new exclusives, come check it out!


Thanks for your time Leon, Looking forward to your DS return!
