Kormac follows his recent single Down Below with Hazy, a track inspired by nighttime memories of Dublin city.
Where Down Below leaned into raw modular textures, Hazy looks back to Kormac’s first experiences of club culture – not just the music, but the journeys between venues, the faces in the crowd, and the fleeting camaraderie that made the city feel alive.

“I started DJing very shortly after I started going to clubs,” he says. “At the time Dublin was small and blaggable, full of weekly nights with residents who really knew their craft. We’d move between venues – my first real exposure to proper house music – and the best parts were often the moments on the street in between.”
Musically, Hazy balances melodic, atmospheric house with the basement grit of Detroit techno, combining rich synth tones with the rough edges of drum machines. Written entirely on analog hardware, the track captures the sodium-lit blur of voices, traffic and passing music, more about the anticipation of what’s next than the beat in the moment.
The single marks the ninth release on Kormac’s Always The Sound imprint, and is part of his new live AV show, where he performs with live electronics alongside custom 3D visuals.
With three albums, hundreds of live shows, 80M+ streams and scoring work for BBC, Sky, ITV and more, Kormac continues to move fluidly between scratch DJ roots, widescreen electronica, and film composition. Hazy ties those strands together, offering a deeply personal reflection on the nights that shaped him.

About Kormac
Kormac first emerged as a hip-hop scratch DJ and MPC beatmaker, before developing a sound that weaves organic instrumentation into bold, cinematic electronica. Across three albums, a string of standout scores, and hundreds of live shows worldwide, he’s become known for pushing boundaries—whether in the studio or on stage.
His most recent album Equivalent Exchange featured a full suite of new material composed for orchestra, with guest appearances from Loah, Jafaris, Jack O’Rourke, MayKay, Shahab & Shayan Coohe and Stephen James Smith. The album’s 30-piece live show sold out the National Concert Hall in Dublin and marked a high point in a career built on collaboration.
Alongside his album projects, Kormac has become a sought-after screen composer. In addition to This Town and The Boy That Never Was, his recent credits include the Emmy-nominated documentary Swift Justice for The New Yorker, ITV’s The Diplomat, and the feature film Tarrac!. He’s also composed original scores for Professionals (starring Brendan Fraser) and Red Election, which aired globally via Disney+ and U.S. primetime channels.
On stage, Kormac’s shows range from immersive full-band performances with bespoke visuals to stripped-back club sets built around his live studio setup. He’s played Glastonbury, Sonar, Electric Picnic and Bestival, sharing bills with Portishead, Flaming Lips, Sonic Youth and Nas. His second album Doorsteps featured guests including Irvine Welsh, Speech Debelle and Micah P. Hinson, and remains one of his most acclaimed and distinctive releases.
