LOWERSTATE keep the pressure high this July 17th when they welcome KORNÉL KOVÁCS from Stockholm to their monthly basement party in the Cellar. Originally from Budapest, Hungary, Kornél has promoted and DJed for over 10 years and has rocked every major and minor venue in Sweden, as well as Tokyo, Mexico City, Sónar, Barcelona, Rome, Berlin and beyond.


He first got hooked on electronic music through hearing his Mom’s Kraftwerk records as a kid. In the late 90’s he started playing different forms of dance music at small parties and kept going until he got a residency at legendary Stockholm nightclub Paradise in 2005. Describing his style as “non-linear techno and house beats sprinkled with random good stuff for your mind, body and soul” - Kornél’s charismatic style behind the turntables and unique blend of musical genres has brought him to play with Richie Hawtin, Ewan Pearson, Radio Slave, Marcel Dettmann, Erol Alkan, Roman Flügel, Joris Voorn, Ivan Smagghe, Vitalic, Tiga, Adam Beyer and many more over the years.

Kornél attended the Red Bull Music Academy Barcelona in 2009, which he describes as “a great experience which has made me focus even more on my productions”. He runs the production studio and label ‘Studio Barnhus’ in Stockholm, together with hotshots Axel Boman (Pampa) and Petter (Border Community) and his first release comes out on their label this summer. Kornel also hosts the biggest show for electronic music in Scandinavia - P3 Dans show on Swedish nationwide FM radio.

Doors open at 11pm at Deeper, the Cellar, admission €10. Support is from Ruarí and Gaffco, who are also hosting a boat party on the Corrib that night.
