The EP was played in clubs and on-air internationally, while the video for "Rainstorm" was shown many times on TV stations. His next EP (The Good Lord EP) will be released March 08 and fuses much sampling of 20/30/40s gospel music with live trumpet, scratching, banjo and a barbershop quartet. His music also takes the form of a live show featuring, alongside Kormac on turntables and keys, a double bass player, a barbershop quartet, a trumpet player and percussionist literally playing everything from drums to kitchen sinks.
The show is constantly developing and the band have played alongside DJ Numark (Jurassic 5,) DJ Food (Ninja Tunes,) DJ Craze (USA,) DJ Premiere (Gangstar,) Nas, The Herbaliser Band and also performed to a packed tent at this years Electric Picnic Festival. Kormac began his DJing career presenting and producing his own hip hop/drum and bass show on the now defunct Radio Caroline at the tender age of 17. As he started to hone his style he moved on to larger pirates like Power FM and eventually started to get some gigs in clubs playing scratched up, dance-floor sets. Since then he has played in almost every established venue nationwide at one point or another and has played support to many international acts including DJ Hype, DJ Yoda, Fabio, The Scratch Perverts, Grandmaster Flash, Goldie, DJ Storm, DJ Numark (Jurassic 5) DJ Craze, Doc Scott, Asian Dub Foundation and countless others. ...show less
