Transitions: 4/06/08


Fergie seems to have been around for while now, yet at 28, we forget that he was just a lad when he began the amazing journey that is still riding high and he has never had a stronger and more vibrant aural identity.
2008 couldn’t be busier for Fergie. Regularly playing at clubs such as Firefly, Shine, The Stiff Kitten, he maintains an international pedigree which has seen him play at Sonar(Barcelona) Metropolis(Bulgaria),Meganite(Ibiza), Magazinni Generalli (Italy), the Berlin Love Parade and of course almost a decade in Ibiza. Add to that a whirlwind of gigs that took in Hong Kong, Australia, Israel, Poland, and America where he even done a 7 day tour of the Curran-Holding Prison Correctional Facility (CFCF) in Philadelphia which wasn’t listed on the tour schedule!
The producer of stunningly good techno that has seen the likes of Slam, Laurent Garnier and Phil Kieran and Dubfire smash floors all over with his tunes and the man whose Excentric project is making a real impact in clubland on three different levels; pushing new talent, putting on events and releasing exciting music.
Fergie is firing on all cylinders at the moment with his recently released THE ME EP on Excentric Muzik climbing high in the techno charts on Beatport. It’s gaining huge support from some of the industry’s most respected DJs, with across the board appeal to many techno exponents. Add to this a collaboration with Gregor Tresher that spawned ‘Recluse’ recently released on the on the Great Carnival Stuff album. A further Great Stuff Olympic album due to be released later this year will feature a track from each country with Fergie representing Ireland. Re-mixes due out include Bigger than Jesus ‘Itchy Glitchy Spider’ (Fergie rmx) on Silver Planet and King Unique ‘Hinode’ (Fergie rmx) due out on their Curfew imprint.
