Over the 1990s Sweat built up a huge international reputation, being variously described as "a gorgeous blend of underground house" (i-D), a "deep house frenzy" (The Face) and "the best music on that side of the Irish Sea" (DJ Magazine). The night was one of Muzik magazine's ten best of 1998/99 and was named best regional club on three occasions at the Smirnoff Dance Club Awards.
Some of the many guest DJs Greg and Shane hosted at Sweat over the years include Joe Claussell, DJ Deep, Rasoul, Miquel Migs, Laurent Garnier, Herbert, Derrick Carter, Glenn Underground, Boo Williams, Jovonn, Erik Rug, Harri and Kerri Chandler.
Since finishing Sweat in November 2001, Fish Go Deep’s travels have taken them to clubs across Ireland, Britain and Europe and throughout the US and Canada. Although Greg and Shane have recently settled back into a monthly Go Deep residency in their hometown, they still guest regularly overseas.
The duo’s CV also includes a six-year stint on Cork's Radio Friendly, where their Saturday night show was one of the most popular on the station. Since early 2004, they have hosted the Go Deep show on Red FM and have also contributed numerous mixes to Ireland’s national music station, 2fm, Dublin’s Spin FM, Nova (Paris), FMR (Toulouse) and PlantSoul (Toronto).
Greg and Shane's production work under the Fish Go Deep name has been enthusiastically received in recent years, earning praise from deejays, dancers and journalists around the globe.
New Jersey's seminal i! Records have released five Fish Go Deep EPs since September 2000. Other productions have appeared on French label Brique Rouge ("superb deep house" xlr8r magazine), Chicago's Gourmet ("quality club grooves" DJ Magazine), New York's Chez Music ("sumptuous" Blues&Soul) and England's Inspirit Music.
In recent years Fish Go Deep tracks have appeared on more than two dozen compilations, on labels in the US, Canada, Britain, France, Spain, Italy, Germany, Ireland and South Africa.
In May 2005 Greg and Shane launched their own imprint, Ork Recordings with fellow Corkman, Mark O'Sullivan.
Cure & The Cause
Fish Go Deep Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Your touch pours like honey on my skin
Smooth it lingers, you
The cure and the cause, of my blues
My only flaw
In the sea, it can be freezing, I thought I'd float
I sink deeper blue, by you I'm consumed
Swept away, what good is a beautiful day, I'm alone and you
The cure and the cause of my blues
My only flaw
Don't take your love away, your love away
Don't take your love away, your love away
Don't take your love away, your love away
Don't take your love away
(Don't take) Don't take your love away, your love away
You are the cure and the cause
Of my blues
My only flaw
The song "The Cause The Cure" by Fish Go Deep & Tracey K is a song about the conflicting emotions that come with a toxic relationship. The lyrics are filled with references to addiction and dependency, as the singer is torn between their desire for their partner and their awareness that the relationship is causing them pain. The opening lines "You give sweet, and how easily, I, I fall deep" suggest the alluring nature of the relationship, with the partner's touch feeling like "honey on my skin." However, the singer also acknowledges the negative aspects of the relationship, as their partner is both the cause and the cure of their blues. Throughout the song, the singer expresses their frustration and confusion, acknowledging that while their partner may be the cure for their pain, they are also the cause of it.
The chorus of the song repeats the phrase "You keep needing, keep calling, the cure and the cause" which drives home the idea that the singer's partner is both the source of their joy and the root of their pain. The bridge of the song provides a brief moment of reflection, with the singer acknowledging that their partner is someone who is "wonderful and good when you want to be," but ultimately acknowledges that they are "no good" for them. Despite this, the singer is still drawn to their partner and pleads for them not to take their love away.
Overall, "The Cause The Cure" is a powerful and emotional exploration of the complexities of toxic relationships. It captures the conflicting emotions that come with addiction and dependency, and the way that even when we know something is bad for us, it can be hard to let go.

I can still feel your presence and your influence on me, even when you are not physically there.
Don't take your love away, your love away
I don't want to lose your affection.
Cure me, cure me
Heal me from my sorrow and pain.
Just a few things before I head on my way
Before I leave, there are some things I need to say.
You are wonderful and good when you want to be
You can be kind and caring, but only when it suits you.
You are what I want but not what I need
I desire you, but I know I shouldn't rely on you for my happiness.
And you are no good for me
I know that being with you is not healthy for me.
Cure me, cure me
Heal me from my melancholy.
