GAMADON (aka GAvin MAc DONagh) started buying records and DJing in Dublin in 1996. He is a vinyl DJ and record collector.
His first gigs were in his hometown of Mullingar in 1997 with Martian Arts, supporting the likes of 808 State and Sunil Sharpe.
By 1998, Gavin had secured himself gigs playing techno at the legendary Genius night @ Kitchen and also The POD alongside Warren Kiernan & Joe McGrath. He also played at Derek F’s acid techno parties @ Tivoli Theatre and 13thFloor/McGraths’ supporting Dave the Drummer, Chris Liberator and Lawrie Immersion.
Moving to Vancouver, Canada in 1999, Gavin signed up with the Pound Recordings crew under the name ‘Dex of Hazzard’ and was resident at their weekly parties in The Palladium playing breakbeat and electro. He was also invited to play club Sonar and various raves around the city. He also played club Rebar in the city of Edmonton.
In 2001, Gavin moved back to Mullingar and started a weekly hard-techno night called ‘The Beat Bunker’ in Daly’s in Mullingar, giving local DJs a chance to play in an intimate venue.
In 2003, the next destination was Bermuda. For the three years living and working in this scenic, secluded island, Gavin co-ran the Calisthenics house music parties with DJ Andy Schnerg of Toronto. The Hip Therapy parties were a great success, being Bermuda’s only deep house and techno night.
The Disco Nouveau parties started in 2007. Run by Gamadon, this monthly event was held in The Stables live music venue – hosting DJs like Sunil Sharpe, Fran Hartnett, Al Keegan, Niall Power, Barry Redsetta and even DJ Mes, label owner of Legendary US West-Coast house label Guesthouse!). This night ran for 4 memorable years.
In the past few years, Gamadon has played at the following events –
o Dublin: Mutate (The Pint), Bodytonic (POD), Electric City (Wax), Secret Cellar (Colour TV)
Galway: Basement Project (The Cellar Bar – support for Alex Arnout and supporting Defekt in The Loft, Le Cure at Jungle Café and The Blue Note, headlined Kinetika @ The Factory.
ocrobarnach Festivals 2015 & 2016 - finishing off on the Main Stage B2B with Jamie Behan.
The most illustrious of invitation was extended in 2015, when Gamadon had the privilege of being the main support act of UK legends, The Prodigy, on their European tour in cities such as Berlin, Hanover, Prague and Luxembourg, playing to sold-out crowds of up to 8,000.
-In 2016, Gamadon established the Warehouse Manifesto (WM) label, with the main objective to release his own productions on vinyl. It is hoped that 2019 will be the year that WM001 hits the crates worldwide.
