He is a very well considered Nothern Irish composser and dj. He started at the age of 15 behind the turntables and nowadays he has made re-mixes for groups like U2, Primal Scream, Saint Etienne; and some singers like Steven Soderbergh and Danny Ocean.
Have you seen the films 'Ocean's Eleven' 'Ocean's Twelve' and 'Ocean's Thirteen'? Well, he compossed the soundtracks for these films, but also for many others like Out of Sight, Buffalo Soldiers, Analyze that, The Shore, or Haywire.
But maybe you are still wondering why am I writing about him. The reason is that from 2 to 10 of this past November, here in Seville was settled the 'Sevilla IX Festival de Cine Europeo' (European Film Festival). He came to give a concert for the festival and also because he colaborated in the soundtrack for one of the films, 'Good Vibrations' by Lisa Barros D'Sa and Glenn Leyburn, which depicts the development of punk music in Belfast during the seventies.
I get the chance to go to that concert and to see the movie, which I powerfully recommend you to listen to and see.
Here there is an interview and one of his songs. I hope you enjoy them as much as I did.
