Just a heads up that the good people at http://www.fxpansion.com (makers of BFD and guru etc) have done a featured artist page on me and are currently hosting a remix competition for the track "Payback" off my album. Besides swag from me and copies of software from the ubercool Camel Audio company, you also get your track published via Howlin (and considering it'll be amongst remixes by Cut La Roc, Ill Gates, Dub Pistols and Nick Thayer I can say you'll be in good company). http://www.fxpansion.com Myagi - 3 Years Of Sunrise at Itunes // Posted Sep 27, 2008 You can now grab "3 Years Of Sunrise" at Itunes!!!

As the player fills, old ones will be cycled out, so if you hear something you like, go buy the cd Album opener - "How to test" features vox from the amazingly talented Daniel from the Root Sellers. It's a bit of a breaks meets rock meets hip hop number, and has been a great set opener for me for the last while. Hope you dig!!!! The album release will be followed soon by remixes of How To Test by Nick Thayer and Cut La Roc, both of which are really freaking sweet. Very pleased! heres the album review from DJ mag btw: Myagi 3 Years Of Sunrise Howlinâ€™ Breaks producer goes for the jugular. Canadian producer Myagi, or Andrew Mavor to his mum, has made his name in international breakbeat with releases on Title Fight, Westway and more. But here he broadens his remit for the album format, releasing on Freddy Freshâ€™s label a body of work so complete it could be a concept. Progressive 4/4 sonics like â€˜Paybackâ€™, â€˜Shapeshifter Part 2â€™ and the Underworld-like â€˜In Betweenâ€™ are dovetailed by lovely downtempo pieces like â€˜I Donâ€™t Want This To Endâ€™, the Peter Gabriel-esque â€˜Stuck In A Boxâ€™ and chill anthem â€˜Staring At The Sunâ€™ thatâ€™d sit nicely on Ibizaâ€™s sunset strip. Forget TiÃ«stoâ€™s sunrise quest and get yer teeth stuck into this uplifting electronic masterpiece.

Kim Oâ€™Connor Mint track: â€˜Staring At The Sunâ€™ 4.5 Back from Boom Festival // Posted Aug 16, 2008 Just had a grueling flight back from the boom festival in portugal - what a great time though! 25000 nutjobs in a scorpion infested, gorgeous setting that is a gross between tatooine and an mc escher drawing.... I got the 12-2 slot on the Groovy Beach stage and had one of the best sets of my life - about 4000 people going off...left a really good impression on me and quite an odor i think - my flight was 5 hours after i finished and there was a 3 hour drive to the airport.....blurg! expect photos of lisbon and the festival soon! 3 Years Of Sunrise ALBUM REEL // Posted Jul 17, 2008 You can check a short clip of each track as one youtube video by clicking the following linkhttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-zFjjTMHKkg more vids to come and a very big update soon! Home Made Synth bits! // Posted Jun 28, 2008 http://youtube.com/watch?v=Xgbk_-3p2jE Check it out if you have a sec! Myagi at hush, victoria, tonight // Posted Jun 28, 2008 Hey hey vancovuer islanders (or tintrepid travellers from elsewhere around the globe)....I'm at hush tonight doing my sweaty rave mosh pit thing.....hope to see you out! ------ From Hush's Website ------ MYAGI (a.k.a SOLE CLAW) (a.k.a. Andrew Mavor)..... For a lot of young artists in today's music scene, living up to the expectations of presumptuous critics and finicky fans can be an impossible task. The pressures that go with being named a break out talent can be enough to drown budding musicians after first seeding. Enter Canadian producer and performer Myagi, who has been touted as the "Next Don of North American Breaks." His tracks have appeared on compilations by UK Break Beat heavy weights Plump DJs, American hit makers Crystal Method and received plays by B-Boy legend Fatboy Slim. All of this attention has vaulted him into the genres elite. What I found out in a recent interview is that Myagi has coolly brushed aside any pressure and let his natural ability to write songs, whether they be Cheeky Dance Floor Smashes or Funked Out Grooves for a Sunday afternoon, reign supreme. When asked about the origin of his most popular moniker, Myagi, Andrew is blunt; "Karate Kid," he deadpans referring to the popular character Mr. Myagi in the cult eighties flick. He then continues, giving us insight into his early musical roots. "I was in a high school band, and that was the name we chose. I got tired of working with other people so I started buying synthesizers, a couple drum machines and started working on electronic music." Influenced by the early works of electronic pioneers Meat Beat Manifesto, Freddy Fresh and Fatboy Slim, Myagi later resolved "this is the kind of stuff I want to write," figuring he started writing his solo material as far back as 1996. Beta - My Culture (Myagi Remix) - Sound Of Habib // Posted Jun 24, 2008 Getting some great reviews in for my remix of Beta'a bassline gem "My culture"....these are taken from NSB and Bijou, look for the release soon! --- Bijoubreaks.com: --- Myagi RmX- Myagi comes at us with his classic full on Breakbeat sound on this one. With a similar yet still "myagi as hell" take on this tune, its full of massive bass and that classic myagi driving feel! He really gets the ball rollin on this tune by his use of forward moving synth work and anticipation building sequencing. This is a tune for all the crowd rockers in the building!!!!! After the 2nd breakdown.....its full on breaks goodness with NOTHING to spare!!! --- Nuskoolbreaks.com --- My Culture (Myagi Remix) and now for something a little different. this is rave house. seriously. rave. house. <3. i like the intro, and the underworld-esque synth line that ends up morphing into this big giant ass fingering bassline. i have to say he does a really good job of keeping the same vibe as the original, even though he went in a completely different direction. im willing to bet if you play this outside at night time, you win for the evening. the main break is just an all out rave acid squelchfest <3<3<3. really digging it. 3 Years of Sunrise // Posted Jun 20, 2008 Well, after significant road testing and amazing reactions all round, the the first ep off my album "3 years of sunrise" is just about ready to roll. Featuring remixes from Malente and Rebel Sketchy, the "Album Sampler 1: Shapeshifter ep" is a serious cut - pounding rock n' roll electro from Malente and rolling b-boy breaks from Rebel Sketchy. Look for it soon! <<< Previous Next >>>
