DJ Hammy

Cork-based DJ & producer, active in the Irish scene from the late '90s to mid-2000s. Cut his teeth with legendary residencies at Doyles and The Catwalk Bar, while holding down regular slots on the city’s infamous pirate stations: Kiss FM, Klub FM and Radio Friendly. Life took over and the decks went quiet in 2005.

Fast-forward to 2019 and the fire was reignited. Armed with a studio full of new ideas, Hammy returned with a string of bootlegs and edits that quickly built a loyal following on SoundCloud, blending peak-time house and uplifting trance with that unmistakable Cork energy.

Since 2022 he’s been a regular fixture behind the decks at Edison Cork, bringing the same raw, crowd-moving selections that made him a name back in the day.

Releases on Lefty Shades Records, BLINDsided, Mumbler Music and Cleveland City followed, but it was April 2025 that changed everything: Bryan Kearney dropped Hammy’s “Area 51 Epidemic” bootleg live, sending the internet into meltdown and pushing follower counts through the roof. The demand led to an official rework released as "DJ Hammy – Epidemic 2025" on Cleveland City Records.

Next up: his debut original trance single “Free Yourself” on Positive State Records – a euphoric, hands-in-the-air statement of intent from a producer who never really left, he just took the scenic route back.

Old school heart, new school drive. Cork’s own.
Still here. Still hammering. 🔨
