THIS IS NOT A DRILL: Sello + Ayomax

"Being Irish now is the thing"

One of Ireland’s most exciting voices right now is Sello, who has been making waves at home and abroad with his infectious mix of rap and trad samples that he calls ‘Gaelic drill’. Hailing from Clondalkin in southwest Dublin, Sello has been collaborating with traditional musician and producer AyoMax to produce a unique sound that’s brand new but also rooted in Ireland’s rich musical past. On today’s episode Sello and Max speak to music journalist Andrea Cleary about their backgrounds and collaboration. This conversation was recorded with a live audience at Hen’s Teeth in Dublin, and begins with Max treating us to a performance on the uileann pipes.
