MALLEUS & INCUS

Malleus & Incus, the electronic music project of Cork-based producers and DJs John Burke and Michael Downing, whose musical roots can be traced back to Ireland's formative dance music culture of the early 1990s.

From Youghal, Co. Cork , Ireland they came of age during a remarkable period for Irish dance music culture. Cork's legendary Sir Henry's, through influential nights such as Sweat and Immrama, became a focal point for electronic music in Ireland during the 1990s. Alongside venues such as Nancy Spain's, The Roxy in Waterford and SG1 in Fermoy, it helped foster a thriving club culture that inspired a generation of DJs, producers and dance music fans. Artists such as Carl Cox, Kerri Chandler, Derrick May, Laurent Garnier and Sasha & Digweed formed part of the soundtrack to that era and left a lasting impression on the musical development of Malleus & Incus.
