Reuben Keeney

As another decade comes around, a time of change and diversity descends on the music scene, a new breed of rising starlets are oozing creativity and breeding enthusiasm.

Ireland’s quickest-rising young Reuben Keeney is amongst the leaders of this band of young DJ’s and producers. Having brought 2009 to a close with the accolade of ‘Best New Artist’ in the Irish Dance Music Awards, not to mention being approached by the likes of Mauro Picotto and Steve Mac to add more remixes to his already massive repetoire.

Producing for labels such as Toolroom Records, and CR2, as well as DJ’ing alongside the créme de la créme of house and techno heavyweights such as Dave Clarke, Paul Woolford and Roger Sanchez, one would be shocked to learn that this electronic music youngster is still in his teens.

Despite this, the likes of Sasha, Carl Cox, Slam, Paolo Mojo and Luciano are falling over themselves to support to Reuben’s records with open arms, not to mention the clubbing mainstream welcoming the hits, with superstars David Guetta, Laidback Luke and Paul Van Dyk giving his records more than a few spins. If this isn’t authority enough for you, the world’s DJ’s are snapping up his tracks, with beatport throwing up Reuben’s tracks in their charts over and over- and simply check youtube for the punters responses to his take on the tech-house genre.

What’s next though? Now managed by Nic Fanciulli’s Club Class brand, and with the demand for Reuben’s music peaking, one can only imagine what the boy from a sleepy little Irish town will throw up to the electronic music scene next…
