Donnacha Costello

Real Name:Donnacha Costello
Profile:He started writing music in 1989 and discovered minimal electronic music in 1996, becoming well known and respected in his home city of Dublin, Ireland. Having completed his philosophy degree, Costello engaged himself in university studies in music and was introduced to Steve Reich, John Cage and Karlheinz Stockhausen. In 2000 he began to release 12" singles on his own label Minimise and was signed by Force Inc. for his first album. Growing Up In Public utilizes new digital production and synthesis methods, sampling and dub techniques. This debut album displays a great degree of imagination and experimentation.

Donnachas Colorseries records are some of the best techno Ive heard since the Artificail Intelligence series. Each one has a feel all its own and a groove most producers cant even touch. The "feel" of dancing at 2am in a warehouse or driving home at 7am, is captured on each of these wonderful releases. These songs are in the spirit of Speedy J/Plastikman/LFO and all the original Warp 12"s. I would like to thank Mr. Costello for letting me relive these nostalgic moments.
