Dec Lennon aka Krystal Klear is a music producer and DJ from Dublin, Ireland currently residing in NY. He runs the label Cold Tonic and has released on Running Back, UTTU, Madtech, Eglo, All City and more.

Making his debut into the world in 2010 under the anonymous moniker of Krystal Klear, Dublin native Dec Lennon has made a steady rise to become one of the freshest new faces in music that both has the chops to destroy underground dance floors with his deep crate of records, or spin out polished productions in the studio with legends like Nile Rodgers.

And he’s been hot from the start, with his 2010 single “Tried For Your Love” being quickly scooped up by BBC Radio One’s Benji B and played on his radio show for 13 weeks in a row, leading to a tour across the British Isles and having the record signed shortly thereafter to All City Records in 2011, going on to sell out instantly and achieving critical acclaim (4.5/5 on dance music publication Resident Advisor). With all this attention, it was only a matter of time before another Radio One DJ, Mary Anne Hobbs, asked him to provide a guest mix for her show.

With regular endorsements from the likes of Mark Ronson, Jackmaster, Joy Orbison, Skream, Brodinski, Dam Funk, Rudimental, Trevor Nelson, Annie Mac, Gerd Janson, and Mistajam, confidence continued to build. In 2013 came the launch of his much revered Cold Tonic imprint, a label dedicated to releasing some of the heavier underground sounds that Krystal Klear was bringing into his sets. And towards the end of the year, opportunity knocked when Chic’s Nile Rodgers invited him into the studio, recording in Dublin, London, and at Nile’s home in New York getting to work alongside Chic and one of Dec’s most revered vocalists Michael Macdonald of The Dooby Brothers and Steely Dan.

This work led to production work with artists like Kele, Yasmin, Solange, Semna; and remix requests for major artists like Donna Summer, Kelis, Sky Ferreira, Blood Orange, Marina and the Diamonds, The Killers and Seven Davis Jr.
