Krystal Klear
Dec Lennon, performing as Krystal Klear, is an Irish DJ and music producer originally from Dublin's south side who now splits his time between New York and Manchester. He runs the label Cold Tonic and has released material on Running Back, UTTU, Madtech, Eglo and All City, a spread of imprints that has carried his tracks into DJ sets across house and disco-leaning electronic scenes. His debut record, Tried for Your Love, established his early sound, while his melodic, neon-soaked production style has been described by Insomniac as drawing on 1980s influences within a broader dance framework.
PRS for Music's feature on him traced his path from Dublin to Manchester, cities he has described as an unlikely pairing given their reputations rather than sunshine-capital status, framing his geographic move as part of his artistic development. He created a tribute piece inspired by Woody Allen's Manhattan as an ode to Dublin, according to Generator's coverage, underscoring how his hometown continues to inform his work even while based abroad. As both a DJ and producer, Krystal Klear has built his career on a combination of original productions and club-facing sets tied to his Cold Tonic label.
He continues to release and perform internationally from his current New York base.
