Myagi aka Sole Claw aka Andrew Mavor has rapidly become a major part of North Americas contribution to electronic music. Hailing from Canada, he has, in the last year, played the vast majority of the world and has become touted as one of the newt major North American talents. His releases and remixes are in constant demand, as shown by a relentlessly expanding discography which boasts variations and a range of styles most producers could only dream of pulling off From his first record in 2001, the Myagi sound has grown and expanded with the electronic music scene, all the while retaining its independence and unpredictability. Initially eschewing tough clubby sounds in favor of funk, and then pushing in a deeper direction once the inevitable pigeon holing began, Myagi has remained fresh within the scene as a whole, not a step behind or ahead of anyone else, but in fact pursuing something different, fusing many sounds into a high energy dancefloor assault.He has played sets on the BBC, the CBC and Crystal Method's Community Service, landed a standout track on the Plump DJ's Saturday Night Lotion, and recently did an extremely well received exclusive mix album for DJ Magazines www.djdownload.com on behalf of labels West And Splank.In both the studio and in the club, Mavor has become renowned for his seamless maneuvering between hip hop based funky breaks and nu skool, house and techy big rooms tunes. Myagis live sets have been described as innovative, relentlessly funky and ludicrously fun, and have led to a devoted fan base in all corners of the globe. Note - please dont post giant ass badly designed flyers or porno pics on in my comments. Keep the flyers to your own pages and email the porno to [email protected] thanks :)
