Wiggle became the sound of the Cork underground with a diverse audience spanning from dub heads to happy hippies to techno nuts.
Their new 13 track self produced debut album “Brighten the World” has been launched and is available through their website wiggle.ie
Toby, Colm and John John all shared a house on Sundays well in Cork with Lilly the cat and Jim (aka VJ Present). They had a music room there where they used to jam.

The likes of King Tubby, Lee Perry, and Augustus Pablo and their studio antics certainly resonate with and inspire them. Unlike many live Dub soundsystems, where they play back pre-recorded material and add effects, vocals and EQ live,
