JAY GALLIGAN (The Probe)
Growing up in late 90s and early 00s Dublin Jay Galligan’s surefire instinct for catching a mood and manipulating grooves is no happy accident.
A talented musician in his own right he evolved from guitar and grunge fuelled Indie shoegaze bands to a purveyor of full throttle Techno as waves of new mutant music ushered in a new era.
As a whole generation of ‘My Bloody Valentine’ fans started to listen to Detroit Techno. He found himself in the thick of Dublin’s movement: holding a residency at the legendary club ‘Electric City’ and his own night ‘Test’ for over 10 years.
No stranger to the dynamics of the dancefloor – he has played many times alongside the likes of Dave Clarke Jeff Mills Robert Hood Ben Klock Surgeon Dopplereffekt & Regis. At a time when the Irish Techno scene was incredibly organic with a strong community vibe.
These days Bristol is his home where he has turned his musical attention to producing finely crafted radio shows.
