Rory Sweeney will be spinning in Dali to close out the first night of River Runs Round 2024. Just off the back of being awarded AVA Festival Producer of the Year 2023 and his 2024 record Irish Hash Mafia, Rory is a force of nature coming down on Ireland.

As described by fourth.best:

Sweeney’s probably the least industry-focused person in Irish music, climbing ever upward by pure impulse and momentum. Walk into a home studio with a folder marked NEWBEATPACK4EMBY. Get the verses. Drop it the next day. Make a dubstep tune with Sloucho, put it out for one week on CloudCore, top the Bandcamp charts. Sloucho becomes a playable character by the time all’s said and done. Make footwork out of R Kitt and jungle out of Samantha Mumba, start a digital hardcore label, make pop music, fuck up Jamiroquai, play Amhrán na bhFiann out of air horn samples at a protest rave outside the Dáil. There isn’t really a limit.
