Myagi
3 Years Of Sunrise
Howlin’
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 Fresh’s label a body of work so complete it could be a concept. Progressive 4/4 sonics like ‘Payback’, ‘Shapeshifter Part 2’ and the Underworld-like ‘In Between’ are dovetailed by lovely downtempo pieces like ‘I Don’t Want This To End’, the Peter Gabriel-esque ‘Stuck In A Box’ and chill anthem ‘Staring At The Sun’ that’d sit nicely on Ibiza’s sunset strip. Forget Tiësto’s sunrise quest and get yer teeth stuck into this uplifting electronic masterpiece. Kim O’Connor
