DJ Kormac originally started his DJ career using a collection full of vintage instrumentals, jazz drum solos and spoken-word pieces, sourced from second hand and junk stores, which would go on to form the basis of his sound for his first 2 EP’s and debut LP ‘Word Play’.

Moving on to recording his own source material Kormac has used a portable set up to take recordings from legendary Irvine Welsh, Micah P. Hinson, Mercury Music Prize winner Speech Debelle, Bonobo vocalist and spoken-word artist Bajka, Vyvienne Long and a variety of rappers, soloists and opera singers. These recordings along with several Big Band studio sessions have become the basis of his new material and upcoming, much anticipated, 10 tracks of unique brilliance that is ‘Doorsteps’.

When performing his solo material live Kormac is joined by a 10 piece Big Band. After taking to the stage of Annie Mac’s Amp Night she called them “the most bizarre set-up I’ve ever seen – but it really works”.
