About this episode

This episode features Belfast-based DJ Uncle Moe discussing his musical influences and contributions to the local electronic scene.

This week's Local Selection welcomes Belfast-based DJ, promoter and writer Uncle Moe to the series.

Uncle Moe operates at the intersection of Belfast’s grassroots scene towards a wider, global club continuum. As one half of the well-admired Plain Sailing—a DJ duo and club night that has become a fixture in the city’s underground—he’s built a reputation for thoughtful, forward-facing bookings, hosting artists across the spectrum of electronic dance music from DVS1 and D.

This ethos extends into Uncle Moe Invites, a series of after-hours gatherings centred on intimacy and spontaneity. Hosted in low-lit, small-capacity spaces, the parties revolve around extended B2B sessions with local artists, prioritising trust, experimentation and shared energy over spectacle. Alongside DJing, Uncle Moe has emerged as a key voice documenting and amplifying Irish underground culture for some time now…
