The 285th edition of our Local Selection mix series comes from Mav, who delivers a head-banging techno session built entirely from her own productions.
Dublin’s Mav has become an essential force in contemporary Irish techno. Her approach stands apart from the conveyor-belt sensibilities often associated with the genre today. Instead, she delves deep into the world of live, hardware-driven performance, crafting tracks that feel raw, tactile and intensely human, music where machine and body interact to create something visceral and physical.
Though she may have only come onto wider radars in recent years, Mav has been a committed participant in dance music culture for far longer. She began DJing in the early 2000s, eventually finding her home in the alternative club scene, a space where she could explore her gender identity while refining her artistic voice. Her sound sits firmly on the dark and industrial end of the techno spectrum.
With roots in rock and metal, Mav approached electronic music from an outsider’s angle. Deep dives into industrial, darkwave, goth, EBM and aggrotech expanded her sonic vocabulary and continue to shape her creativity. She gravitates toward pounding four-on-the-floor rhythms, aggressive and hypnotic grooves, minimal melodies and deadpan vocals, elements that combine to set the stage for intense dance-floor journeys.
This 100% original-productions mix is a testament to countless hours spent in the studio. Across an unrelenting hour, she showcases her physical, hands-on process: noisy, thumping, abrasive techno powered by raw emotion. It’s music designed to be felt as much as heard, provoking a direct, bodily response. Fierce, impactful and brutalist yet textured, dynamic and tactile—this is Mav in masterclass form.

The 276th entry comes from Muintearas boss NAOISE, who delivers a broad-spanning mix of curveballs over an hour, moving seamlessly from grime to prog, house, techno, and back again.
Dublin-based DJ and party organiser NAOISE has long had their finger firmly on the pulse of the city’s countercultural side of club life. They present a monthly show, Muintearas, on Dublin Digital Radio, while also running events under the same name. Both the radio show and the events follow no strict genre rules, instead embracing an eclectic approach that flows through bass, breaks, progressive house, and more.
Curation lies at the heart of NAOISE’s artistry. They are committed to shining a spotlight on emerging and marginalised artists, whether through DDR’s airwaves or events across venues like Tengu, Wigwam, and other DIY spaces in Dublin.
This mix embodies that wide-reaching approach, moving from heady two-step grime to bellowing, cut-throat breaks, relentless trance-tinged techno, warped prog house, and beyond. It’s a movement, a dance, flowing through various formations, unafraid to drop the energy only to build it back up. It allows listeners to tunnel into the crevices NAOISE wants to explore, a journey designed to surprise at every turn.
