D-Light Studios, located at 46 North Great Clarence Street, North Strand, Dublin 1 (D01 K2Y1), is a vibrant multipurpose venue renowned for its unique blend of creative energy and industrial charm. Originally functioning as a textile factory in the early 20th century, the building has retained much of its original character, with exposed brickwork, high ceilings, and expansive open spaces that speak to its storied past. During the late 2000s, the space was transformed and repurposed as D-Light Studios, positioning itself at the forefront of Dublin's creative and nightlife scenes.
Over time, it has gained a reputation not only as a dynamic nightclub but also as a hub for cultural events, art exhibitions, fashion shoots, and innovative performances. Its versatility has contributed significantly to Dublin’s growing status as a center for the arts, making it a beloved locale for both locals and visitors seeking authentic, cutting-edge experiences. The studio’s adaptability has enabled it to play host to a diverse array of events, from immersive club nights and avant-garde theater productions to music video shoots and underground parties.
Architecturally, while D-Light Studios has preserved its original framework, various renovations have modernized the interior, blending contemporary comforts with historical features—a balance that has only deepened its allure. The venue has never changed its central location but has undergone several refurbishments to enhance acoustics, lighting, and overall capacity, keeping pace with the evolving demands of Dublin’s nightlife and arts crowds. D-Light Studios has welcomed a host of notable artists to its stage, representing both international and local talent.
Among them are Dublin’s own techno innovator Sunil Sharpe, rising electronic producer Or:la, global drum and bass icon LTJ Bukem, Irish singer-songwriter Aoife Nessa Frances, garage legend DJ EZ, experimental electronic duo Lakker, celebrated jazz ensemble Booka Brass Band, Berlin techno DJ FJAAK, visual-arts-focused performer Sybil, Dublin rapper Kojaque, and a range of collectives such as District Magazine and All City Records who have hosted groundbreaking events in the space.
