Paul McCarthy (Mac)

Along with Kenno, Mac is one of the younger RePublikans but it still feels likes he has been around forever such was his interest in House music from a very young age. Having played a few small gigs around Waterford, Paul got his first real break when he was selected alongside Gavin as a Resitance resident.. At Resistance Mac really developed his own sound, and got the opportunity he always craved when supporting, Laurent Garnier , Mac's longtime music hero. Along with Mr Garnier, Paul also supported Slam, Timo Maas, Cajmere and more as well as playing alongside another musical hero of Paul's, Charles Webster via his Re:Publik slot. Paul is at ease playing any style from minimal techno to deep house and anything in between and is known for never playing the obvious and sticking to his guns, definitely a DJ's DJ . Paul was influential in bringing in Ame for Re:Publik who along with Henrick Scwarz, and Dixon are currently the forerunners of the deep and minimal scene.
Mac has also gained some valuable experience with the promoting side of things with Re:Publik and this makes him a vital cog in the Re:Publik wheel. Paul is known within the Re:Publik camp for liaising with our venue's and he often don's our 'business cap' where Re:Publik is concerned.

Michael Kennedy (Kenno)

We often think Michael Kennedy was born with headphones on and a bag of tracks on his shoulder. Kenno has been DJing since his teens and has been hooked on house music from a very young age. He was the original winner of the Musiklab DJ Competition several years ago and he hasn't looked back since. Before RePublik, Kenno had done some regular gigs for legendary Waterford club night, Musiklab supporting the likes of Derrick Carter & Yousef, before he was snapped up by Warren & Tony's InspireMusik as a resident for their record store events. It was there he mixed and produced the first instalment of 'B-Inspire-D', a 3 part mix CD series from Inspire that showcased the regions talented up & coming DJs. The CD went on to gain rave reviews from all corners of the dance music industry both nationally & internationally with CDs been sent out to US, UK and even Australia
In his time with Re:Publik, Kenno has played with some of his house music idols like Mark Farina and Inland Knights. Never afraid of trying new things musically, Kenno's mixing and technial ability has been noted by his peers and indeed by some of our guest DJs. Within Re:Publik Mr Kennedy is responsible for our flyer and poster distribution as well as design, not easily pleased at the best of times, he is now responsible for bringing in some of the new talent to Re:Publik and we think with the amount of music he gets through, there certainly isn't anyone better!
