Clodaghdrum and bass artist
Growing up in the countryside, Athlone, Co. Roscommon, the very centre of Ireland, I was big into Sport & Irish Dancing. You couldn’t get me off the dance floor at the local disco’s & later rock concerts! I was big into REM, RadioHead, Nirvana, Smashing Pumpkins & Alanis Morrisette. I became a Fitness Instructor in 1994 and so was constantly moving to music! I taught on average 10 classes (Aerobics, Step, Body Sculpt, Spin etc) a week for 11 years! I always played the best tunes in my classes so I had all these mothers jumping around to pumping house & techno music! It was very funny, I secretly think they’re all big ravers! It wasn’t until I moved to London in 1999 that I discovered the club scene, when my sisters took me to some warehouse parties and then I thought “Wow, this is what I’ve been missing all my life! I was hooked… on the music, the vibe, the atmosphere & just dancing all night long on the dance floor! Being a regular at the Pendragon Trance parties & Free Party Techno Scene! Which was great as I never really ever had much money. I really really really LOVE to dance, it’s so much fun & a great way to let your hair down! I get so much energy from music. I often thought about Dj’in so 3 years later, after returning from travelling in 2001, my boyfriend at the time & I kept our promise, saved up & bought our first set of decks. Two weeks later we threw our first house party & “SPIRITUALISED” was born… always noted for its wicked decoration & amazingly…
