the messiest release you will ever witness

Dick Johnson (Magik J)


As a teenager Dick Johnson landed a residency at Manchester’s legendary Hacienda Club where he honed his house sound until it’s closure in 1997. Before long he was producing tracks for Cream’s Olympic label, New Order’s Pleasure Recordings and Manchester’s Paper Recordings collective, and had set up his own record label Shaboom records which went on to do over 100 releases from the likes of Joeski, Fred Everything, Doc Martin and DJ Sneak.

Prolific in the studio, he went on to do albums for Darren Emerson’s Underwater Label and Bristol house imprint NRK, as well as releases for Jesse Rose’s Made To Play/Play It Down, Southern Fried, Nic Fanciulli’s Saved Records, Lazy Days, Soundway, MOS & Vicious.

As well as his own productions, Dick has remixed the likes of Crookers, Claude Von Stroke, DJ Sneak, Ian Pooley, Worthy, Crazy P, Bassnectar, Fred Everything and has recently set up two new acts. The first is eight-piece band Weird Together with its own twist on world music and two EP’s signed to UK label Soundway and Jillionaire of Major Lazer’s Feel Up Records. The second is MEDZ, a slower, more futuristic electronic project with the first release due out on Vicious Btch.

Now based in Auckland, New Zealand and with a weekly show on local radio station George Fm, Dick continues a busy DJ schedule and it’s a rare weekend indeed that he is not behind the decks electrifying a crowd of dedicated followers and testing his tunes on dance floors from Russia to Argentina and most points in between. He has EP’s due to drop in mid 2015 for Play It Down and  Vicious Records, and a 10 year anniversary release of his classic ‘Feel Alright’ on Oliver Dollars ‘ new label Industry Standard.

I've unfortunately had to remove all unofficial remixes from this Soundcloud. Follow my Yungcloud (https://www.hive.co/l/tyrmusic) where I will be re-uploading some of them! This is still primary account for all music. So stay tuned! Also check out my collective @TheCollxtion where I will be releasing a lot of my new music!

TYR pronounced tire (Rhymes with Fire) (Old Norse: Týr [tyːr]) is the god of single combat, victory and heroic glory in Norse mythology.

     Without the constraints of genre, most would crumble under the pressure of needing to please a widespread audience, but with the assistance of blogs and media distributors, TYR has become a household name as a solid producer and live electronic act.

     From tracks supported by Moby to virally popular remixes spreading far and wide on the EDM blogosphere, the foundation of TYR's fan base is incredibly strong. As his presence grows nationally and internationally, the crowds are ranting and raving about his high energy and diverse live set.

     Expect the best from this producer in 2015/16 as the 21 year old is just getting started. Driven by a deep passion for music and a need to play out as much as possible, few connect with a crowd like he does. TYR is one of the most progressive and eclectic producers and live performers in music today.
