EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW WITH : DJ Marty Guilfoyle and vocalist Kyla Belle

The sultry, energetic beat coupled with Kyla Belle’s powerful vocal falsetto (Ireland’s answer to Tove Lo) blend effortlessly, making this one of Marty’s most anticipated releases to date. Released through 95 Records, a Rubyworks label, Lights Out is designed for road trips, festivals, and dance floors alike.

Marty Guilfoyle, known for his electric energy on SPIN (one of Ireland’s biggest music stations), balances six weekly shows with a summer of live gigs and festival appearances.

Kyla Belle is an Irish musician, pop artist and songwriter – you might catch her busking on Grafton Street, performing live on radio, or singing with RTÉ’s Cór Linn choir.

Describe “Lights Out” in three words.
Marty: Golden, summery, catchy
Kyla Belle: Golden, summery, catchy

Festival stage or club dancefloor — where would you rather hear it?
Marty: Festival stage for sure, when the sun is setting.
Kyla Belle: Festival stage, 100%. Nothing beats that sunset energy.

Who pressed play first — Marty or Kyla?
Marty: Marty. The track was made, and thankfully Kyla liked it and recorded it for us. She absolutely smashed it!!
Kyla Belle: Marty played it first — I loved it straight away and couldn’t wait to jump on it!

One word to describe each other in the studio?
Marty: My word for Kyla has to be “friendly.”
Kyla Belle: I’d have to describe Marty as an absolute legend!!

What’s the perfect time of day to listen to “Lights Out”?
Marty: Driving, for sure!!
Kyla Belle: Definitely during golden hour, windows down, music up!

Favourite summer anthem of all time (besides this one)?
Marty: Raindrops – Sash! & Stunt

If “Lights Out” was a cocktail, what would it be?
Marty: Oh, I love this question!! I’m gonna say a Long Island. I’d love to know Kyla’s answer to this lol.
Kyla Belle: An Aperol Spritz, for sure. The summer vibes are immaculate.

How do you get in the zone before a studio session?
Marty: A munch on Reese’s Buttercups and a quick browse of the crypto markets to relax.
Kyla Belle: Warm up my voice, hydrate, and lots of honey — hahaha.

Dream artist to remix this track?
Marty: Sub Focus, without a doubt!
Kyla Belle: Sub Focus would be epic — totally agree with Marty on this one.

Road trip, rave or radio — where should fans hear it first?
Marty: I’m going to say road trip again on this one!
Kyla Belle: All of them! The track’s vibe is definitely built for lights flashing, people dancing, and an electric atmosphere.
