Hailing from Halifax NS Canada, DJ Lyra is a driving force in the Maritimes’ underground electronic music scene. A passionate music lover turned performer, she brings years of dedication to both the community and the dancefloor. With deep roots in music through singing and instrumental performance, it was only natural that she would evolve into a powerhouse behind the decks.

Lyra’s sets are a journey through the rich textures of underground electronic music. From dark, chugging basslines and quirky kick patterns to whirring electro melodies, driving techno, bass-heavy rhythms, and cleverly placed vocal samples, she curates dynamic mixes that are as smart as they are dance-inducing. Her ability to blend genre-defying tracks with seamless energy makes every set unforgettable.

She’s shared the stage with some of the top names in the scene, opening for heavyweights like Colette, Marten Hørger, Nick Rockwell, Miz Megs, DJ Rap, DJ Dan, Chuck Love, Johnny Fiasco, and SNBRN. As one half of the tech house duo Tektric with Justincredible, Lyra continues to push sonic boundaries.

A longtime radio host and guest mix contributor, Lyra hosted the East Coast Vibes show on Sugar Shack Radio and more recently hosts livestreams on twitch every Thursday and has appeared on renowned platforms such as Harmsworth’s Feels Like Sunday, Jon Hart’s Reason 2 Funk, Monty Luke’s Wave of the Future on Scion AV, Girls On Decks, Ghetto Innit, Home Bass FM, Tribe Radio on d3ep.com, and Maritime Grime.

Her resume includes collaborations and performances with some of the region’s most respected crews and events, including Baseline, Zoo Crew Productions, Underdog Productions, Home Bass, Lighthouse Atlantic, Bass Bias, Future Forest Festival (where she also contributes to promotions), Kollektiv and  Classics.

Whether she’s igniting a packed festival stage or curating deep vibes at an intimate venue, DJ Lyra is a relentless advocate for Atlantic Canada’s underground electronic scene — and a guaranteed good time on the dancefloor.

James Green aka Dustin Funkman has been a significant contributor to the electronic music scene for the last two decades. As a lover of all things electronic he has been entertaining the masses. Be it in the way of Djing, or  producing. He has become known for a sound that is unique and guarantees a palatable energy on any dancefloor.

He started listening to electronic music in 1995, influenced by genres such as Trance, Hardcore, Jungle and Breakbeats, attending events produced by Hullabaloo, Syrous, Good Vibes, Lifeforce, and Big Bud. Inspired by the sounds and incredible vibe, James began learning to beatmatch vinyl in 1999. Within a year he began producing with REASON and acquired his first residency under the name Scratche, at one of the Gold Club series establishments, Revolution NightClub, in Waterloo, Ontario.

Gaining a significant following, he began coordinating and throwing his own events in Toronto, Kitchener, Hamilton and Waterloo Ontario under the name Reddi Supply Productions. Becoming widely known booking events out of province and internationally. Enjoying measured success, James chose to focus his efforts on producing, as things go in life he had just married and become a new father, playing gigs had temporarily become impractical. This new direction gained serious and quick momentum with a multitude of attention by various record labels,  4Play Traxx, Padded Cell, Breaks R Boss, and Promo Records founded by none other than Robb G.  Signing several releases. One of which, “Electric Dyslexic” , was remixed by none other than TJR, best known for working with Pitbull on “Don’t stop the party”.

In 2014 James continued to release his own produced music, signing with Truespin, and Western Bloc, before acquiring his two first international labels with Base Industry Records USA, and Young NRG out of Italy. He also welcomed the birth of his second child.

2015 marked the official retirement of Scratche, bringing about tremendous change in sound and genres. This creative shift proved positive in the way of self discovery and the emerging of a new persona Dustin Funkman.  Dabbling in the ghetto funk genre proved to be a success as he was just becoming familiar with this type of sound. All efforts paying off with two releases to Breakbeat Paradise Recordings out of Florida, signing not only with this label but also Basement Tapes, Chicago.

Beginning a new chapter in the Maritimes in 2021 is what life looks like for James or as everyone likes to call him, Dustin. Making friends with a like minded community has warranted opportunities to share his contribution of sound at several establishments in Moncton, Saint John and Fredericton.
