Polari has quickly become a trusted platform for both emerging innovators and established pioneers, reflecting Cormac’s broader work as a curator, community advocate, and custodian of queer club heritage. As a producer, he has released on revered labels including Ostgut Ton, Running Back, and his own Polari Records, along with mixes for BBC Radio 1’s Essential Mix, Beats in Space, Resident Advisor, and DJ Mag.
