“Gary Maguire is the man. No two ways about it. He is the future of tough trance and techno as far as I am concerned and I expect him to be the biggest export in electronic music from Ireland since John O’Callaghan.”

John Askew [Discover Records] – August 2009

With productions already heavily supported by world leading DJs from Armin to PVD,You can rest assured that his unique style of trance will be ripping the roof off many nightclubs for years to come…”
