Jon Barry

He cut his teeth as a hip -hop DJ with residencies at the legendary Sir Henry’s, Lebowski’s and Hi-Fi, building a reputation as someone who could always be relied upon to rock, educate and surprise a crowd. Parallel to his DJ gigs, he spent two years presenting a show on the award winning pirate radio station, Radio Friendly.
Helped by his years working at Synthetic Records, Jon amassed a large, eclectic collection of vinyl. Over time his DJ style evolved from predominantly hip-hop to one with a greater emphasis on underground house and techno. His residencies at Innercity in 2006 and The Tikki Lounge in 2007 provided the catalyst for focusing primarily on these sounds.
Outside of Cork Jon has played regularly in the Pygmalion and has been a guest at Dublin techno institution Electric City and Life Festival. He’s supported acts such as Motor City Drum Ensemble, Prosumer, Conforce & Marc Houle to name a few.
