BIOGRAPHY

KETTAMA is a name that has, over the course of the last few years, become synonymous with aplethora of sounds. Characterised by pulsating grooves, rupturing drum patterns and gruellingbass, these elements combine to create the unmistakable sound of one of Ireland’s greatestmusical exports; a uniquely infectious sound that has become sought after on a global scale.Since his emergence in 2018, KETTAMA’s rise to notoriety within the electronic music scene hasbeen nothing short of rampant; drawing a parallel with his equally rampant sound. Havingundergone an evolution of sound identity in that time, KETTAMA has arrived at a sound that hasseen the Irishman become something of a cult figure within his hometown of Galway, a.k.aG-Town; amassing an ardent following that has bled across the water into the UK, and beyond.An unrelenting artist, KETTAMA’s abilities are flexed in his groundbreaking production, whereinthe producer has become a pioneer for ‘Sledgehammer-House’; a wave of sound that seeshard-hitting bass and devious drums patterns infused into a euphoric, energy-fuelled soundscape.This soundscape is best exemplified through his recent EP, ‘Fallen Angel’; which sees hisbreakout single ‘Fly Away XTC’ partnered amongst an armoured artillery of club-ready weaponsof sound, some of which have been road tested on KETTAMA’s ongoing pilgrimage of soundacross the world, resulting in inevitable dancefloor-destruction. On top of his recent collaborationwith dance music royalty Underworld. KETTAMA’ soundgarden is fully in bloom.This pilgrimage continues long into the summer; from Vienna to New York, Melbourne toEdinburgh, Milan to Belfast, KETTAMA’s live performances are rife with energy, and completelycontagious. He embodies the spirit of his hometown; a seemingly immortal spirit that seeks to liveon through his sound for millenia.
