Marc Walsh - Walsh & McAuley BIOG Marc Walsh and Ciaran McAuley are a DJ/producer duo from Northern Ireland. The guys first met in 2006 when up against each other in the KeyMix DJ competition in Belfast Since this chance meeting the two have paired up to produce and DJ together under the alias 'Walsh & McAuley'. After many long nights in the studio the first few tracks were completed and tried and tested around the N. Ireland club scene.The tracks were pretty much picked up straight away by 'Bittersweet', an imprint from Armin Van Buuren?s massive 'Armada' label. This gained the duo their first international recognition and really wet their appetite for more. During summer 2007 Ciaran secured himself two residences in Ibiza, one at Kanya Sunset Bar playing during the sunset for Fergie?s Excentirc Night and the Armada Pre Parties. While the other was Play2, the biggest club on the main strip of the infamous West End. While Ciaran was flying the Walsh & McAuley flag in Ibiza, Marc continually worked on productions for the duo, sending them to the White Isle to be tested out. For the remainder of 2007 and early 2008 they continued to release on some solid imprints including 'Bittersweet' and Belgium?s giant 'Bonzai Music'. They gathered more momentum through these releases, more international support including Agnelli & Nelson, Airwave, Stoneface & Terminal, Yves Deruyter, Matt Darey, and Re:locate. Continually gigging at nights around the local scene and securing a set at N. Irelands biggest summer festival ?Planetlove? helped Walsh & McAuley continue to build a fan base and gather up a lot of live DJ experience which has set both of them up as accomplished club DJs. As individuals the two draw influence from different DJs and producers which has led to solo production work on labels like 'Black Hole' and 'Armada'. However as a team they have found a sound that works for them, typically a Walsh & McAuley DJ set starts with lighter progressive trance, building to big room melodic and driving trance. The guys stamp this sound on each of their productions which are now recognised as high quality tracks on high quality labels supported by high quality DJs. Towards the end of 2008 Walsh & McAuley - Coastline was played by Tiesto on his globally renowned Clublife radio show, Tiesto continued to show his support right up until the end of 2008 playing Walsh & McAuley ? Lost Feeling even dropping it during his 5 hour NYE set in USA. Soon more support followed when Irish producer Neal Scarborough?s remix of Walsh & McAuley - Global Warning earned big support from the likes of Sean Tyas and Tom Colontonio. The guys have had similar success with solo projects, with Robbie Nelson remixing Ciaran McAuley ? Forgotten to be released soon on Roger Shahs ?Magic Island?, and DJ Activa remixing Marc Walsh ? Never Far Away soon to be released on Monster Tunes. Next up was another proud moment, the duo were invited for a guest mix appearance on Agnelli & Nelson and Solarstones Deep Blue radio show. Adding to this success the duo secured a monthly residency at N. Irelands newest all nighter club ?Lost @ The Warehouse?. In 2009 the duo have continued to play the NI club scene alongside some top international guests including Agnelli & Nelson, Roger Shah, Super8 & Tabb, Andy Duguid, Kyau & Albert, Adam Sheridan, Ronski Speed, Greg Downey and John Askew to name but a few. Agnelli & Nelson and Solarstone selected Walsh & McAuley ? Beyond belief for their mix on the huge new Tidy Trax Magna compilation that is on sale in high street shops and online. In addition to this Agnelli & Nelson have selected solo tracks from the guys for a mixed compilation to be released on the massive Armada label, Marc Walsh ? Never Far Away and Ciaran McAuley ? Paradigm. Future production projects for the guys include working on more remixes for Tiestos Black Hole, releases on the 'Armada' sub label 'Magic Island' plus a forthcoming release on respected UK label Monster Tunes.
