About Dec Pierce’s Block Rockin’ Beats
Dec Pierce has been championing dance music for over three decades. His journey began in 1995 on Ireland’s pirate radio scene, where he developed a passion for electronic music and a connection with listeners that would shape his career. From those early broadcasts, Dec built a reputation as a trusted voice in dance music, eventually becoming one of Ireland’s most respected DJs and broadcasters.

Through his radio work, Dec has become synonymous with celebrating the culture, history and enduring impact of dance music.
What began as a radio show has grown into one of Ireland’s most successful live music experiences. Block Rockin’ Beats combines a live band, guest vocalists and immersive production to bring the biggest dance anthems of the past three decades to life on stage. The show captures the energy, nostalgia and communal spirit that have always been at the heart of dance music culture.
Known for his genuine relationship with his audience, Dec has cultivated a loyal following that extends far beyond radio. From sold-out headline shows to major festival appearances, Block Rockin’ Beats continues to unite audiences through a shared love of dance music and the memories it creates.
From pirate radio in 1995 to some of Ireland’s biggest stages, Dec Pierce’s mission remains unchanged: to celebrate the records, moments and community that make dance music so powerful.
