Rory Sweeney
Rory Sweeney is an electronic artist from Dublin. At only 25, Rory is one of Ireland’s most lauded and respected artists, rising to prominence in both Ireland and UK for his high quality outputs and high energy AV shows, defined by glitchy electronics and cinematic balladry.
After making history in 2024 by releasing the highly acclaimed first of its kind 'all-Ireland' collaborative Hip-Hop album 'Irish Hash Mafia' under the pseudonym Carlos Danger (included on AOTY lists by Nialler9, District Magazine, Cork Echo and The Thin Air), Rory was among a small group invited to a residency in the RCC in Letterkenny, where he has finished his ambitious latest album set for release in October 2025, 'Old Earth'.
Rory is the current AVA Festival Producer of the Year recipient and was up for a RTE Choice Prize this year for his work as exec producer on Curtisy’s ‘What Was The Question’. Rory is 1/3 of Irish/US experimental rave collective Bitten Twice.

Also known for acclaimed production work for Irish and International artists such as Sello, Cosha, Sloucho, Kojaque, Lord Apex, Mavi and Pippa Molony, Rory seamlessly traverses mainstream and experimental sounds.
Seperately Rory has gained a cult following in Dublin for his high octane DJ sets. Rory’s DJing started as intense trolling against DJ and club culture, playing nauseating sets that bordered on noise music. Now years later under DJ iPhone Charger, Rory’s DJing is a sincere celebration of all things dance music, from Country music to Uk Drill to Dabke to jump up. High-energy silliness, weirdo electronic curveballs and DJ tricks throughout.
‘(Referring to Entrance Places) Rory Sweeney reckons this is the best track he’s ever produced, which is a pretty big claim considering his output over the past 12 months. From assembling an all-star cast of rapper pals for a joyful ode to G-funk, Irish Hash Mafia, to collaborating with experimental pop artist Pippa Molony and club music mythmaker Sloucho, he’s not just been busy — he’s been dizzyingly consistent.’ - Eoin Murray, DJ Mag (2025)
“A Dublin-born artist of never-ending styles and influences, his blend of esoteric electronica, contorting elements that few would even ponder, has seen him produce on some of the biggest tracks of the past 18 months both in Ireland and in the UK.” - Clash Magazine (2024)
“Rory Sweeney has been at the forefront of some of the most exciting sounds to emerge from the capital in recent times, drawing on hip hop, house, rave and footwork influences when creating his sometimes uncategorizable, energetic productions.” Peter Curtin, RTÉ (2021)
