Kormac follows his recent single Down Below with Hazy, a track inspired by nighttime memories of Dublin city.
Where Down Below leaned into raw modular textures, Hazy looks back to Kormac’s first experiences of club culture – not just the music, but the journeys between venues, the faces in the crowd, and the fleeting camaraderie that made the city feel alive.
“I started DJing very shortly after I started going to clubs,” he says. “At the time Dublin was small and blaggable, full of weekly nights with residents who really knew their craft. We’d move between venues – my first real exposure to proper house music – and the best parts were often the moments on the street in between.”
Musically, Hazy balances melodic, atmospheric house with the basement grit of Detroit techno, combining rich synth tones with the rough edges of drum machines. Written entirely on analog hardware, the track captures the sodium-lit blur of voices, traffic and passing music, more about the anticipation of what’s next than the beat in the moment.
The single marks the ninth release on Kormac’s Always The Sound imprint, and is part of his new live AV show, where he performs with live electronics alongside custom 3D visuals.
With three albums, hundreds of live shows, 80M+ streams and scoring work for BBC, Sky, ITV and more, Kormac continues to move fluidly between scratch DJ roots, widescreen electronica, and film composition. Hazy ties those strands together, offering a deeply personal reflection on the nights that shaped him.
