Cormac

Cormac, the Irish born DJ and curator, has risen from an underground secret to a commanding
force in modern dance music. His modern take on HI-NRG, Italo, house, techno, and nu-wave
captures the pulse of contemporary club culture. A longtime fixture at Berghain / Panorama
Bar, he commands dancefloors with an emotional precision and ecstatic energy that have
earned him a reputation as one of the most reliable and forward-thinking selectors of his
generation.

In 2026, his Polari record label and party series will hit the road, touring Berlin, London, and
Dublin. He will be joined by a host of DJ talent, artists deeply embedded in and contributing
to their local music communities and evolving musical landscapes.

Cormac’s ability to hold a dance floor in joyful catharsis has made him one of the most trusted
selectors in the contemporary scene. His taste displays deep historical awareness, bridging
eras of queer club music while pushing its future forward. From Sónar to Bassiani to
Glastonbury, Cormac has become a trusted presence on the global festival and club circuit.

In 2021 he launched Polari Records, a label dedicated to elevating LGBTQ+ artistry and
championing queer creativity on a world stage. Polari has quickly become a trusted platform
for both emerging innovators and established pioneers, reflecting Cormac’s broader work as
a curator, community advocate, and custodian of queer club heritage.

As a producer, he has released on revered labels including Ostgut Ton, Running Back, and his
own Polari Records, with remix credits for Lime and the iconic Kim Carnes. His impact extends
beyond the booth, with magazine covers in Germany, the U.S., and the UK, and standout mixes
for BBC Radio 1’s Essential Mix, Beats in Space, Resident Advisor, and DJ Mag.

January 2024 marked the launch of Queerly Beloved, Cormac’s podcast exploring how music
shapes the lives of LGBTQIA+ artists and allies guests including Beth Ditto , Peaches, Hercules
& Love Affair and Romy. Warm curious, and incisive, he continues to expand his voice as a
queer health advocate and cultural archivist—further solidifying his position as one of today’s
most compelling and influential figures in electronic music.
