The Potbelleez

"The fastest rising stars of the dance scene" – Tim Duggan (Rolling Stone) When freakish talent is mixed with fate, there’s no telling what can happen. Dishing up breathtaking DJ sets over 6 dex, touring the world and producing the duuuurtiest damn house music your ears have ever heard, the Potbelleez have a sixth sense for what makes the dancefloor swoon. Many would say it was destiny. Dave Goode and Jonny Sonic – both Irishmen looking for a new start in the Antipodes – left their homeland in 2001/2 respectively.

Well, for starters he is a producer, musician, imaginary friend, DJ, singer, writer, visualist, record label boss and to some people, the uncrowned King of hooligan house, but let’s start at the beginning.
