Local Selection 197: Diversion

DIVERSION is a Cork-based duo, who have solidified themselves in their local techno scene within the last year. In a short span of time, they have amassed a string of solid self-releases that have been highly supported by artists at home and abroad and most recently by Penglord performing at Hör Berlin. The duo has played numerous shows across The Rebel County and has earned themselves residency with Cicada Selects, which is a primarily Cork-based party run by Jamie Lynch, who is one of Cork's leading promoters at the moment. DIVERSION has recorded a range of mixes for platforms such as Project Radio, Reboot, and Treecast. Describing their sound as a mixture of groove-infused techno with a touch of old-school hardcore for good measure. Deriving clear influence from some of Ireland's finest electronic music artists Tommy Holohan and Kettama, the duo are constantly refining their sound through means of their track selection and productions that you can hear in the 197th edition of the Local Selection Mix Series. This mix showcases an array of fast-paced techno tracks that are best described as colourful, playful, and funky selections, fused with a high degree of mixing technique that makes for a tremendously fun listen.
