Bursting on the scene in 2014 with his critically acclaimed Bantwanas Piano on Defected records, a record described by Dj Mag as a towering achievement in modern house music, South African legend Ryan Murgatroyd has continued in fine form with over 100 releases to his name, spanning labels as diverse as Get Physical, All Day I Dream, Purified, Still Vor talent, This never Happened and his own imprint Swoon Records. A musicians musician, he is a true student of the craft, and much of his work is truly transcendent of the cliches of 4/4 music.

Paving the way for countless electronic artists in South Africa, he pioneered a fusion of African and electronic elements long before the Afro House trend began, releasing the Ikalimba EP in 2015 to massive support from Solomon and countless others, and continuing to forge new sonic ground and help to place south african electronic music on the global map.

His label Swoon Recordings continues to set the standard for underground electronic music parties, and top shelf releases with artists like Cioz, Atmos Blaq, Corpino and countless other local talents unearthed. While Murgatroyd took up residence in Mexico City in 2022, performing at some of CDMX’s biggest club nights and continuing to push new boundaries in the live performance, his best work is still to come.
