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 Deepโs 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 duoโs 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 Irelandโs national music station, 2fm, Dublinโs 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 And 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
? me 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, your love away
Don't take your love away
Don't take your love away, your love away
Don't take your love away
You are the cure and the cause
Of my blues
My only flaw
The song "The Cure & The Cause" by Fish Go Deep feat. Tracey K is a heartfelt depiction of a tumultuous yet captivating relationship. The lyrics express how the singer is irresistibly drawn to their lover's touch, which seems to soothe their soul like honey. However, the relationship is not without its downsides, as the lover's unpredictable moods and the singer's own vulnerability often leave them feeling lost and consumed. Despite this, the singer cannot resist the lure of their love, even when they know it may lead to heartbreak. The chorus repeatedly emphasizes that the lover is both the cure and the cause of their blues, and ultimately leaves the listener with a sense of desperation as the singer begs for their love not to be taken away.
The lyrics of "The Cure & The Cause" are particularly powerful in their use of metaphor and vivid imagery. The sea is used to represent the tumultuous nature of the relationship, with the singer feeling both buoyed up by their love and tossed around by the waves. The line "smooth it lingers" captures the bittersweet longing that the singer feels, even as they know that their love is causing them pain. The repetition of the phrase "cure me" at the end of the song is particularly poignant, as it highlights the singer's desperation for their lover's touch, even as they acknowledge the toll it is taking on their wellbeing.

Before I leave, there are a few things I want to say to you.
You are wonderful and good when you want to be
You have the potential to be kind and loving, but only when it suits you.
You are what I want but not what I need
I desire you, but my heart and soul do not truly need you.
And you are no good for me
In the end, you are more harmful than helpful to me.
But you are the cure, oh yeah, and you are the cause of my blues
Despite your negative impact on me, you have a hold on me and are the only one who can make me feel better.
