Local Selection 291 arrives with Pinot G at the helm, delivering an hour of deep, tripped-out progressive sounds that pulls you into a hypnotic ride around his musical orbit.

Hailing from Limerick, Pinot G is the founder of AT.IT Events and a rising force in Ireland’s club culture, carving out a space with his distinctive and earworming selections. Known for his inspired, genre-fluid approach, he seamlessly blends progressive house with textured, tactile more high-octane selections, creating a duality that has a distinct kind of jolting edge.

This mix showcases Pinot G’s signature style: predominantly progressive house, interwoven with subtle surprises, off-the-cuff mood shifts, and meticulously crafted transitions. Drawing from a wide spectrum of producers, both local and international.

It’s a hypnotic, heads-down journey filled with tracks that make you hit rewind to figure out what’s happening, ear candy that teases, surprises, and rewards the attentive listener. It’s a mark of a DJ who plays without fear or preconception, letting intuition guide the selection in ways that can’t easily be taught.

Introducing the first Local Selection of 2026, and the 290th edition of the series is Belfast-based DJ Keeva G, who has kindly contributed an hour of power which showcases her affinity for the harsher, mind-boggling edges of techno. A statement mix right from the off. No playing around here.

Keeva G has steadily carved her place within the Irish techno scene over the last few years as a compelling, sought-after DJ. Recognised for her diverse sets that incorporate hypnotic soundscapes with raw, driving techno. Her love for the genre’s foundations is unmistakable, with selections often nodding to old-school selections, drawing inspiration from the gritty, machine-driven sounds that defined techno's deep history.

With a background shaped by years immersed in the dance music scenes of Amsterdam, London, and New York, Keeva has harnessed this time spent across a wide range of dancefloors and channelled her specific sound that is a staple in her sets, which is both dynamic and uncompromising. Fusing hypnotic textures with a relentless sense of movement, her sets balance the raw energy of classic techno with a modern, groove-focused flavour that typically draws influences from Bas Mooy, ø [Phase], and Sunil Sharpe.

Having built a strong repertoire in a relatively short span of time, Keeva G has earned herself notable slots at Fuinneamh, Emerge, and If You Know You Know Festival. Not to mention Club M01 in Berlin with Nexus, as well as Belfast’s iconic Telegraph Building, Banana Block, The Ulster Sports Club and Pawn Shop in Dublin.

This recording applies tension right from the off, and continues to nudge at the ever-expanding intensity as the recording progresses. All while tapping into and embracing a selection of eerily hypnotic and ethereal selections, while keeping that consistent hard-edge at the mixes core throughout.

“PUMPDATASS” was born during a late-night studio session, starting out as a loopy, driving drum-and-percussion workout with raw high energy. It quickly evolved into a full-blown peak-time warehouse destroyer. This collaboration pushes Cody outside his usual production style, fusing seamlessly with the signature OG Blokes45 sound.

The track came together effortlessly, and testing it on dancefloors has been an absolute highlight - crowds have been eating it up. To kick off club season properly, we’re premiering it as a free download. Turn it up and pump dat ass.

Up next on the Local Selection, we welcome Galway-based DJ Panic Loop to the series. This week’s contribution is a meddling hour of chugging techno that pays homage to various Irish producers throughout. Dial in for the next hour for this impressive showcase.

For the 289th edition of the series, we host Galway-native Panic Loop, a DJ who made their club debut in September 2024, who has become a welcome addition to the cities vibrant club scene, spinning a selection of techno and electro.

Alternating between numerous all-night-long sets, B2B’s with Data Ryder and __ in Electric. He’s also had the chance of opening things up in Factory for Bastardo Electrico label-head and Irish techno aficionado Jamie Behan for Rave Culture, as well as an appearance for Galway electro outfit Deep Sea Dweller.

This mix features a range of techno flavours currently on Panic Loops’ periphery. A concoction of mature grooves that incorporates eerily dark, bleepy textures and a variety of hypnotic rhythms over the course of the recording. It is an excellent showcase of true techno. In a ritualistic fashion, incorporating shivering, murky undertones while elevating the energy as the mix progresses. The mix is also a slight nod to some of Ireland’s most prolific producers, featuring Havik, Casey Fable, Aero and Offtrack. Wednesday soundtrack sorted.
