A three turntable wizard with a flair for the unexpected, 

Irish techno peddler, Diarmaid O’Meara, has been busy 

rocking parties, producing tracks and carving a little 

corner of the dance music industry with which to call 

his own. 

A co-founder of Irelands premiere tough techno label 

and brand, "Gobsmacked Records", Diarmaid, who 

was recently branded by M8 Magazine as "One To 

Watch", is known for his energetic approach to three 

turntable techno sets and productions of dance floor 

wrecking tracks. Since his first vinyl release in 2006, 

his productions have gone from strength to strength 

with releases on several labels, almost constant airplay 

across European radio stations, including BBC Radio 

1, XFM etc and several big hitter releases including 

'Swear tin', 'An Inconvenient Abomination', 'Paranoid' 

and 'World Order' which have been hitting clubs and 

festivals worldwide. His music and abilities have been 

featured on everything from local fanzines to 

magazines for the masses and regional radio stations 

to international music channels. This work ethic 

coupled with a busy djing schedule means Diarmaid 

only sees light these days when he's playing, 

promoting or partying. 

A master of the three-deck mix and not one to dilly- 

dally, Diarmaid's sets are always explosive, always off 

the cuff and use as much vinyl as physically possible. 

A regular party performer, the intensity of his sets have 

been at the forefront of his momentum since his first 

gig. 

Still in his early twenty's, Diarmaid has built up a brand 

in the form of 'Gobsmacked'. From running mini 

festivals and events all around Ireland to releasing 

downright filthy techno on vinyl, cd and digital 

download from some of the biggest, best and brightest 

techno has to offer. Almost always pushing energetic 

techno except when the experimental sounds call, 

Diarmaid and Gobsmacked are quickly becoming 

internationally renowned names for pushing floor 

wrecking techno tracks/sets and having sold countless 

physical and digital releases, its almost guaranteed.. if 

you listen to techno, you've heard a Gobsmacked 

record. 

Now in full swing with numerous releases under his 

belt, countless gigs, an acclaimed album and an 

endless list of projects on the horizon, I think its fair to 

say that Diarmaid is one to keep a keen ear out for.
