Making music since 1989, Donnacha Costello discovered electronic minimalism in 1996 and has since established himself as one of Ireland's most respected underground artists. Deep and introspective house music alternates with 70s influenced electronica in Costello's work, and consequently his music has appeared both on techno labels like Poker Flat as well as on experimental imprints like Raster-Noton.

The Album Before We Say Goodbye
was reviewed:
With releases on labels as different as Raster-Noton and Poker Flat, Dublin's Donnacha Costello is an exceptional artist. For 'Before We Say Goodbye' he limits himself to three analogue synthesizers for an organic sound between warm and soulful Detroit techno and 70s style synth epics. Marvellous.
