The Dublin-based collective Clockwork have put together a compilation of tracks from a disparate selection of producers under the collective banner which takes in hip-hop, future beats and techno.
Producers involved include DeusDomino, Roc Legion, Skydroid, Grizzy Nerd, FaL and Crimson, not well known to me either so it represents a totally new side of things on the Irish scene. The release is a free download from Bandcamp.
