Artist

Nyra was born in the north of England, not too many years ago. From humble surroundings and still only in his early twenties he has already reached a point where in 2010 he has travelled all over the globe, DJing from the Black Sea to Canada, Space Ibiza, Miami WMC, Sonar festival in Barcelona, Extrema festival in Holland, and the ADE. What has propelled him so quickly into the ears, hearts and sets of so many people is his undeniable passion, technique, and breathtaking ability to cover a huge amount of musical ground while always remaining absolutely on point with his selection, guided by an innate sense of rhythm, musicality and flow. Deep, low slung and stripped back, his blending of grooves loosely fit under the banner of house and techno and have a timeless quality, with his crate digging hunger giving him such an armoury of music to fill his sets that he literally can play all night long.You often don’t know whether he’s playing old or new tracks, unless you’re one of the few who have the musical depth to be aware of the often obscure musical gems he’s dug out from god knows where.Then again, part of the joy of Nyra’s sets is the fact that he’s going to take you somewhere you probably haven’t been before, bringing a fresh angle to the dance floor that everybody enjoys. The aforementioned qualities didn’t go amiss with Shlomi Aber, who asked him to release an EP for his massively respected BeAsOne label. Whilst at WMC 2010 amongst the exclusive VIVa MUSiC roster, backed by Steve Lawler, Nyra hooked up with Sandy Huner which led to a release on his prestigious Thirty One Twenty label. Complementing releases on VIVa MUSiC, Monique Speciale, We Dig.Music and with Darius Syrossian propelling Nyra’s production catalogue further. As a producer Nyra is also incredibly adept at reducing grooves to their bare essence, a minimalist approach but without tracks sounding sterile. Always with maximum rhythmical interest and always inventive. Not obvious, they tend to be oblique excursions into groove science. Nyra’s new tracks really are causing a stir at the moment and his release schedule is set to seriously increase as we move into 2011. In an age when everything is available to everyone, all the time, at the click of the mouse, things become about more than just access to tracks, itʼs knowing which to pick out of the sea of content washing over us all…..and where to put them. Itʼs back to the original skill at the heart of DJing vibe maintainance. This is Nyra’s core strength. It’s an ability that belies his age, and is testament to how dedicated he’s been to his art since obtaining his first set of decks at the tender age of 16. He has thrown himself completely into the world of music since this point, and he sums it up best in his own words: “i feel like i’ve only just begun, there is so much to learn and discover.I want to share my passion and the incredible journey with anyone who wants to join me.”
