Myagi Bio
Myagi aka Sole Claw aka Andrew Mavor has, in a short time, gone from being a self taught
bedroom producer to being an a-list international party rocker. The past 2 years have seen him
play sunrise sets in Australia, packed clubs in the metropolises of China, rocking boat parties in
the old heart of Paris, nude beaches in California and a slew of even crazier settings.
He has done remixes for indie bands and hip hop stars, for legends like The Crystal Method
and Phil Hartnoll of Orbital, for up and coming artists and for stalwarts of the underground. His
influence over the sound of underground club music in North America has been felt, but rarely as
much there as overseas, where Myagi’s hectic touring schedule as a main ambassador of the
North American electronic music scene has helped him spread his sound to the corners of the
globe and earned him a devoted fan base in many music communities.
This has all been possible because, like any true artist, Andrew Mavor has embraced
change, while still retaining a character that is quintessentially his own. Myagi’s music has
evolved and jumped genres; his sets have gone from mostly big beat to breaks and house, now
settling into comfortable mashup, a bastard soundscape that can only be described as purely his
own - house, electro, breakbeat and hard edged funk, butting up against rock and hip hop; a
conglomeration of sounds that is more than the sum of its parts. Simply put, Myagi demolishes
crowds.
2007 was a big year for Andrew Mavor. As Myagi, his remix of Crystal Method’s “High
Roller” for the bands 10 year anniversary re-release of their seminal album “Vegas” got rave
reviews. He toured constantly, playing more shows in a a six month period than most DJ’s play
in their career, and logging more time on planes than the average flight attendant.
After nearly 40 tracks (both originals and remixes)
released worldwide, it was about time to consider the
inevitable album, and 2008 finds Myagi poised to team up
with Freddy Fresh and his label Howlin to release the cd
“3 Years Of Sunrise,” as much a journey into melodic,
cinematic sounds as a collection of dancefloor
smashers.
This doesn’t mean that Myagi has left the club for more
chilled out, Sunday morning settings. His work with
labels like Title Fight / Fight Club continues to expand
and grow, adding to the already massive catalog of
Mavor’s achievements as one of the seminal
underground music producers to come out of North
America in recent years.
