Irish, who's real name is Johan Nilsson, has been a music enthusiast for as long as he can remember. Irish discovered the joy of underground electronic music in the very beginning of the 90's. By '93, thanks to some friends, Irish was introduced to underground parties in the southern part of Sweden and immediately fell in love with the atmosphere, the people and most importantly, the music. It was at these parties, during the first years of his electronic music experience, that his feelings for trance music started to grow and soon evolved into a great passion. At the end of '93, together with his friends, Irish started dabbling in party promotions and has been actively involved in the local rave scene ever since.
Having experienced trance music mostly on the dance-floor, Irish started to prefer the kind of uncompromising trance that would flood your mind with emotions and fill your body with energy. Music that made you want to continue dancing, no matter how tired you were. If it had a rough edge to it, it was even better. This simple preference is the foundation of what Irish works very hard to give every dance floor.
Around '96 Irish bought is first turntables and since then his goal has been to bring to the dance floor a taste of all the fantastic and ecstatic moments he had the fortune to experience himself.
With his blend of melodic, energetic and pumping beats Irish has gotten great responses from all kinds of dance floors. Starting as a strictly underground DJ, spinning at loads of local parties, Irish has gone from strength to strength. Locally, he is the most repeated act at the biggest regular trance event in town, Club Amnesia, in addition to a weekly spot on the local radio station. He also holds several residencies on internationally acclaimed internet radio stations such as New York Based Digitally Imported Radio (The biggest trance radio on the Internet where Irish also is a staff member) and TranceAirwaves (UK). On these station Irish share timeslots with DJs such as John '00 Fleming, Jon O'bir, RonskiSpeed, Plastic Angel, Christopher Lawrence, JudgeJules, Scot Project, etc.
Irish made his international debut on New Years Eve 2001/2002 with a gig in Cairo, Egypt and have since then had the fortune to spin infront of extatic crowds in countries such as USA, Denmark, Turkey and Belgium with DJs such as Johan Gielen, AK1200, Airbase, Sun Kite, Vinylgroover, Taj plus top domestic acts in the various countries. Currently Irish is booked abroad more often than in his home country Sweden .
