​[28M] Looking for friends into melodic techno/house, DJing, and the gym

Hi everyone!

​I’m a 28M from South Africa, living near Lifford/Strabane and working up in Letterkenny. I moved to Ireland in 2022, and I’m looking to make some real, genuine connections with people around the areas of Derry, Strabane, and Donegal.

​I value honesty, openness, and spontaneity—I’d love to find friends who enjoy hanging out without needing to plan things weeks or months in advance.

​A bit about me and my interests:

​Music: I’m really passionate about music production and DJing (still learning!). I'm into melodic house and techno—think Anjunadeep, This Never Happened, Cercle, and Afterlife. I’d love to keep learning, get better, and eventually play a gig somewhere. I also just love dancing and listening to emotional music.

​Fitness: I'm into training and go to the gym a few times a week.

​Film: Massive fan of movies, especially horrors and thrillers.

​Watches: I'm into collecting watches and love learning about them.

​Pets: I have 2 dogs who take up a good bit of my time.

​Who I'm looking for:

​People who enjoy chilling at home, but are also down to head out if a good music event or DJ set pops up.

​If any of this sounds like you, drop a comment or send a DM. Tell me what you've been listening to lately or what your interests and hobbies are!

​Thanks for reading my post!

28M living in the North-West (Donegal/Derry/Strabane area) — looking to connect with genuine friends for music, gym, and chilling

Hey everyone,

​I’m a 28M from South Africa, living near the Lifford/Strabane area and working in Letterkenny since 2022. It’s been pretty lonely out here, so I’m looking to make some real, genuine connections with people around Donegal, Strabane, and Derry.

​I value honesty, openness, and spontaneity—I’d love to find friends who enjoy hanging out without needing to plan things weeks or months in advance.

​A bit about me and my interests:

​Fitness: I'm into training and go to the gym a few times a week.

​Film: Massive fan of movies, especially horrors and thrillers.

​Watches: I'm into collecting watches and love learning about them.

People who enjoy chilling at home, but are also down to head out if a good music event or DJ set pops up.

Any bars or venues in Donegal (or nearby Derry) with open decks / DJ sessions? (Melodic house & techno)

​Hey everyone,

​I'm looking to see if there are any bars, clubs, or community spots around Donegal (Letterkenny or anywhere in the county) that run open deck nights, informal DJ sessions, or practice setups.

​Just looking for places where people can jump on gear, practice mixing on club CDJs/controllers, or play relaxed sets in front of an audience—especially for deeper electronic styles (house, progressive, melodic, techno, etc.).

​If there’s nothing regular in Donegal proper, are there any spots just across the border in Derry (like Sandino's, Nerve Centre, etc.) or local collectives/groups that host these kinds of nights?

​Would love to hear where local DJs hang out, connect, or practice! Thanks in advance!
