The new single is out now.
As part of his series of collaborative projects, Daithí releases his new track with indie folk artist Ailbhe Reddy.
The electronic producer took inspiration from his homeland of Clare for his new song, ‘Submarines’.
Although it is house music, ‘Submarines’ has undertones of traditional Irish music samples in the fist-bumping track.
“Being at home in Clare around family is the place I feel most safe and secure, it’s a really comforting feeling, and I find it’s a great place to recuperate,” says Daithí. “I wrote Submarines as a way to capture these emotions in music. Traditional music has always been strongly rooted in my family. I have fond memories of my brother playing the flute when we were young, so I really wanted to introduce that to this particular song.”
“I had always wanted to work with Ailbhe, and she really took a shine to this one. Mixing both my original theme and her vision together created something magic, it was so great to work with her on this,” he continues.
