Hello! Boundaries is very very excited to announce the new addition of Irish electronic, sound artist, producer EOMAC @ianmcdonnellmusic to the 2024 Boundaries programme. I have been fans of Eomac ( Ian McDonnell to pals!) for way over a decade now since hearing those early banging LAKKER singles. So so good. Then as time went on EOMAC came into existence and again i could begin to hear some real thrilling, exciting forward thinking electronic music getting produced. Eomac has released a host of genre-spanning electronic music via legendary labels such as Planet Mu, The Trilogy Tapes, Bedouin Records, Killekill, Phantom Limb, Emika Records and more. Ian also runs the label Eotrax and again is a long standing member of duos Lakker, noeverything and Lena Andersson. The Eomac sound draws from obscure samples and raw sound design in an ongoingexploration of intense, visceral music for body and soul. He has taken this soundacross theglobe in numerous live and DJ sets at festivals such as Unsound,Lunchmeat, MIRA and clubs like Berghain, Tresor and Circus Tokyo. An active collaborator he has worked with a long list of musicians including: Lair, Arad, Paula Temple, Kyoka, MC Yallah, Demian Licht, Sean Carpio, Kamikaze SpaceProgramme, Roger Doyle and many more. His most recent collaboration is with Mohand Mehdi of Saint Abdullah, their recent work is stunning! So far they have released music on Other People,Planet Mu and Drowned by Locals with a forthcoming album on Trilogy Tapes, andthey have performed live at Nuits Sonores, Berlin Atonal, Unsound and more! I am absolutely buzzing to be able to add Eomac to this year's edition and can't wait for him to rip up and rinse the @poprecs walls on the opening Friday night. Go follow Eomac and get checking out his fantastic discography. For fans of Planet Mu, Warp Records, R&S Records and much more!! Thanks again for all the support, it's always hugely appreciated.. Spread the word, grab a ticket and let's have the best time this November!! Cheers G. x Photo by Sal Stapleton

El productor Irlandés @ianmcdonnellmusic aka Eomac, se formó trabajando junto a Dara Smith como la mitad del dúo Lakker, antes de lanzarse en solitario como Eomac unos años después. Aunque sus producciones en solitario a menudo están influenciadas por la música de club, tomando inspiración del 2-step, techno, dubstep y hip-hop, interrumpe estos marcos con técnicas avanzadas de diseño sonoro experimental y una profunda introspección. Este aspecto nunca fue tan evidente como en 'Cracks' de 2021, una meditación distorsionada para la pista de baile, llena de beats elásticos, samples pulverizados y reflexivas observaciones políticas. (Unsound fest) Ha lanzado música con Stroboscopic Artefacts, Bedouin Records, Trilogy Tapes, Killekill, y su propio sello Eotrax. Ha colaborado con MC Yallah, Saint Abdullah, y para Behua Icará con "Non Mai" es su segunda colaboración con Wihtner FaGo. Wihtner FaGo “Non Axebo Redit” Eomac fr. Wihtner FaGo - “Non Mai” --- Owner of the Eotrax label, Irish producer Ian McDonnell aka Eomac, cut his teeth working alongside Dara Smith as one half of Lakker before branching out as Eomac a few years later. And although his solo productions are often indebted to club music, taking inspiration from 2-step, techno, dubstep and hip-hop, he disrupts these frameworks with advanced experimental sound design techniques and a deep sense of introspection. That aspect was never more evident than on 2021's 'Cracks', a warped dancefloor meditation filled with rubbery beats, pulverised samples and thoughtful political observations. (Unsound fest) He has released music with Stroboscopic Artefacts, Bedouin Records, Trilogy Tapes, Killekill and his own label Eotrax. He has done collaborations with, MC Yallah, Saint Abdullah and for Behua Icara, with “Non Mai” is his second collaboration with Wihtner FaGo. Wihtner FaGo “Non Axebo Redit” Eomac fr.
