MYDIR is an artist rapidly etching a distinctive imprint on the electronic music landscape. Known for his deep, emotive sound and precise production touch, his debut EP 1987 stormed into the top 10 of the Afro House charts, signaling his arrival in compelling style.
Blending spacious grooves with Afro rhythms, organic percussion, and hypnotic melodic hooks, MYDIR’s sound is as immersive as it is danceable. His DJ sets, showcased on his acclaimed Electronic Motion radio show (previously hosted on Data Transmission Radio and Drums Radio), have welcomed some of the finest talents in the Afro and melodic house scenes — further solidifying his reputation as a discerning selector.
MYDIR’s creative journey is deeply global. Influenced by his travels through New Zealand, Asia, and Australia, as well as his time promoting in Ibiza’s legendary club circuit, he draws inspiration from cross-cultural experiences and industry insight. A pivotal moment came witnessing Luciano’s spellbinding sets at Space Ibiza — a catalyst that ignited MYDIR’s own mission to shape dance floors worldwide.
In the studio, MYDIR channels these influences into highly crafted tracks that resonate across continents. His second EP The Traveller (INNU Records) is a sonic testament to his global perspective. Drawing inspiration from a broad spectrum — from Stevie Wonder to Carl Cox and Black Coffee — his work fuses musicality with powerful dancefloor energy and live instrumentation.
Now based in Manchester, where he honed his craft at the School of Electronic Music, MYDIR continues to make waves. His releases and remixes have earned critical acclaim, with multiple features in Beatport’s Best New Afro House charts and signings to respected labels such as INNU, WeAreDyll Records, and Bosom.
As a DJ, MYDIR has shared stages with renowned names like Enoo Napa, David Morales, and Budva Stava, with standout performances at iconic venues including Ministry of Sound (London), The Arch (Brighton), Rainbow Club (Birmingham), and 93 Feet East (London).
Today, MYDIR is the driving force behind Nyumba — a Manchester-based Afro and melodic house event series that has quickly become the genre’s spiritual home in the North West. Pushing the culture forward with passion and precision, MYDIR stands out as one of the sharpest and most promising talents in the scene.
