FISH GO DEEP

Greg Dowling and Shane Johnson have been playing and producing records in their hometown of Cork for more than thirty years. Throughout the 1990s their residency at the city's legendary Sir Henry's venue introduced a generation of Irish clubbers to house music and played host to some of the biggest names on the international underground circuit. Since then the duo have travelled widely, bringing their unique sound to clubs and festivals throughout Ireland, Europe and beyond. During that time they have also hosted many of the world's finest house DJs at their regular hometown Go Deep parties.

They also have a long history on the airwaves, starting on local pirate stations, before moving their show to Cork's Red FM. Today it is broadcast on stations in Ireland, Europe and South America and reaches the wider world as a much-loved podcast.

Since the late 1990s, Greg and Shane's production work under the Fish Go Deep name has also travelled far and wide. Their self-released debut EP, Vol. 1, was an underground hit and over the years has become a much sought after record on Discogs. It was soon followed by a series of 12 inches on New Jersey's seminal i! Records. More than sixty releases have followed on labels as influential and diverse as Innervisions, Local Talk, Freerange, Nite Grooves, Strictly Rhythm and Om Records.

In 2005 their own Go Deep imprint got off to a flying start when a single off their debut album, The Cure and the Cause, was licensed by UK house giant, Defected, and became a huge club and chart hit. Since then they have released numerous EPs and have remixed a wide variety of house luminaries - Kerri Chandler, Alton Miller, K-Alexi and Charles Webster, to name a few.

In 2012 the duo released their second album, Draw The Line, to widespread acclaim and worldwide radio and club support.

So Far So Deep Volume One, a compilation of Fish Go Deep
productions and remixes, followed in 2014.

In 2017, their Baby Tell Me EP, released on Chicago's legendary Large Music label, became one of the top ten sellers of the year on the Traxsource download store.

Their third album, This Bit of Earth, was released in 2021 and received praise and plays from a huge range of influential DJs: Laurent Garnier, Colleen 'Cosmo' Murphy, Osunlade, Jimpster, Franck Roger and many more.

The follow up, What I Mean By Beautiful, was released in late 2023 and spawned a pair of stellar remix EPs by Charles Webster and 6th Borough Project during 2024.

A series of EPs and remixes are in the pipeline for 2025.
