L.R.B. is one of Ireland's best known DJ’s and is soon to be main resident at 515 @ Tripod.

It all started way back, five years ago in fact, when a wide eyed LRB played his first set in the infamous "Switch Club", in Temple Bar. Club manager, Toni Walsh (one of the founding members of the legendary Powder-bubble and Ham club nights), offered LRB a Wednesday night residency and the rest is history as they say. After a successful year in Switch, he teamed up with Ben Carvosso, the pair then went on to host a show on Nova 947 and soon afterwards the superb "Sunday Loungin" night at Viva.

Lrb went on to host his own drive time show on Nova and became resident for Toni Walsh at Fruit Fly @ Pod and it wasn't long before POD promoter Robbie Butler took notice of LRB and booked him for his first gig @ Red Box supporting "Sandy Rivera". A Red Box residency shortly followed, warming up for International DJ's such as Tim Deluxe, Junior Jack and Kid Crème, Deep Dish, Seb Fontaine, Groove Armada, James Zabiela, Nick Warren, Locodice, Tiefshcwarz, Darren Emerson + many more.

During this time LRB was involved in the launch of Dublin's first VIP House Club in Eddie Irvine's "Cocoon Club” on Saturday nights! LRB also played at the Witness and Oxygen festivals in the VIP areas, and the Electric Picnic Festival and makes regular appearances at clubs around the country.

You can catch up with LRB Friday nights at 515 in pod, you can also check out some of his new tunes at totallyrandomdjs with Dj Hannu and djbarrydempsey where he is signed to Monad Music with his debut track “ Dishiesque” supported by Sultan, Lemon 8, Jondi and Spesh J!
