Declan Burgoyne

Born and raised in Belfast during the 1970s, Declan Burgoyne grew up on a rich diet of jazz and soul—genres that would lay the foundation for a lifelong love affair with music. By 1989, as house music began to surge across Belfast, Declan found his calling. A pivotal moment came at the legendary Soul ’89 gig in the Ulster Hall, where everything fell into place. Soon after, a pair of Technics 1200s marked the start of a deep vinyl obsession.

His early days were shaped by unforgettable parties, iconic mountain raves, and sets at venues like Seventh Heaven, Tokyo Joes, Ulster Hall, and Mandela Hall. While the commercial scene soared like a McLaren F1, Declan preferred to take the scenic route—stepping away from the mainstream to carve his own sonic path.

Known for his unorthodox style and deep musical intuition, Declan’s sets are an immersive experience. Expect to dive headfirst into a world of soulful melodies, percussion-driven rhythms, and layered grooves—crafted with the finesse of a Michelin-starred house connoisseur. Bring your scuba gear; this journey goes deep.
