Past & Present
The duos first release was a 12" on Red Records entitled In Motion, which had a track called Silver on the flip side and was released under the name "Fish Go Tech" in 1994. Their first release as Fish Go Deep did not arrive until 3 years later. Another 12" called In Motion was released on Eventual Records.
Background
Both Greg & Shane played an integral part in the emergence of house music in Cork City between 1988 and 2001, and helped run the internationally renowned "Sweat" night at Sir Henrys, which attracted a host of talent, such as Kerri Chandler, Arnold Jarvis, Laurent Garnier, DJ Deep, Jerome Sydenham, Roger Sanchez, Glenn Underground, Boo Williams, Cajmere, Gemini, Derrick May, Kevin Yost, Migs, Rasoul and Fred Everything.
Along with fellow Cork Producer Mark O'Sullivan, they set up Ork recordings in 2005 with the help of the organising committee for Cork, European Capital of Culture 2005. The label is based in Cork, and Stockholm, Sweden and thus far has released singles such as ESL, Disco and Soul V.2, each of which have received critical acclaim from such producers as Jimpster (Free Range Records) and Charles Webster (Miso Records). Ork recordings was primarily set up as an electronic music outlet from which new and established artists can promote their work.
