Man in a Room (MIAR) is producer Steven Connolly from Northside, Dublin
Ireland. He started his love of electronic music in the days of M.A.R.R.S
and Technotronic etc. A regular club go-ER to the now infamous underground
clubs in Dublin at the time (Olympic, Asylum, Sides), Steven instantly
wanted to be part of the music making process. He and close friend Alan Walsh decided to form a electronic band (under
different names) and with carrying success. Most notable of which was
"C-Quence" who were a big name in the Dublin clubbing scene in the mid
90's. Having a residency in the "Ormonde multimedia center" was rare
especially for a live PA. They were fortunate enough to play in most of the
main venues and with many and national and international act. Providing
support for soon to be BIG TIME "Paul Okenfold" "Darren Emerson" "Mickey
Finn" and the likes... Cutting his teeth with names such as these was obviously an encouragement
and eventually Steven decided to hold off from playing live and concentrate
on the production side of things. At the best of times, this is a black art
and so he spent the next couple of years learning the craft. Hours a day
inside his room inspired the name "Man in a Room". As time passed Steven's
ears matured and leaving the chemically driven 4/4 beats to the past he now
has a more matured taste in music. Listening to all and everything has
given him a broad range of influences. DnB has always been a passion but
Jazz has found its way into his heart. Getting older, brings a more organic
outlook on things. Steven is now producing many different genres of music. His aim is to be as
eclectic as possible. As he says himself " I love trying new styles and
hope it's something I'll always do. It's about experimenting and trying to
become wiser from the experience". Such is life....
