Irish producer Josh Dowdall releases new single "Not The Same"
15 MARCH, DUBLIN - Having made a serious impact across dance floors throughout the world in recent years, Irish producer Josh Dowdall has now released his anthemic new single “Not The Same” through the newly formed label We Are Active, launched by Irish diamond awarded dance artists Belters Only.
Josh Dowdall is an upcoming talented artist hailing from Navan, Ireland. His distinct house style and catchy piano melodies have established him as a notable prospect in the Irish scene. He started making music in 2017, releasing his first track as a young teen onto Soundcloud. From there, he has consistently grinded out tracks & built his presence within the Irish dance scene as he proceeds to cook up belters.
In 2023, Josh’s hard work started to pay off as he received a call from Belters Only to support them at their official 3Arena Afterparty - Afters Only, in the iconic Dublin venue The Academy. It didn’t stop there as in the turn of the new year, the Belters Only team were so impressed by Josh’s craft & work-rate, they decided to sign him as their first artist to their newly launched label - We Are Active Records.
Continuing more of that bold and infectious energy he has brought to all of his original material to date, “Not The Same” is a fun and lively house-inspired belter that will have you pumping your fists from beginning to end. Brimming with all the same flair and vibrancy his live shows are known for, he continues to cement himself as one of the more exciting names rising on the Irish electronic scene right now.
Speaking about his new offering, he said, "Buzzing for my first release under We Are Active Records on March 15th. It’s a dream come through being signed to a label run by Belters Only, who have been one of my biggest influences in making music. Big thanks to them for trusting me with their first label release & sharing my vision going forward. I can’t wait to show everyone what I’m about."
ABOUT WE ARE ACTIVE
We Are Active Records is an independent record label launched by Belters Only (Bissett and RobbieG), alongside founding member Evan Fields.
The label is predominantly aimed at the Irish dance scene and will be a means to champion upcoming/established acts in their homeland of Ireland. This is something the Belters Only lads are extremely passionate about.
Their A&R Matty Butler, known from ‘The Vibe Dealers’ brand/channel, is a dance music tastemaker based in New Jersey. He’s been a fan of Bissett and RobbieG, engaging with both lads since very early on in their solo careers - helping promote their music and platform them in whatever ways he could. Because of his passion, drive & love for the scene, it was a no-brainer that Belters Only wanted Matty to be involved in WAA Records.
Speaking about the new label, Belters Only said, “We feel the Irish dance scene needed a start-up like this, to help shed some light on the talent we have to offer & at the level it deserves. We take pride in always helping put the next person on, we believe our track record of this speaks for itself.
“Since the early days of the Belters Only project, ourselves & Evo always planned to one day start up a label that will platform and champion Irish artists. We’re grateful and blessed to now be in that very position. We Are Active.”
We Are Active Records aims to be the long-needed platform that can help catapult artists within the Irish scene to the international stage & give it the respect and recognition it has long deserved.
