And it’s also why there’s a four-year gap between that one and MYOR 02. Unfortunately, we ran out of money after a run of test pressings of MYOR 01 haha, so there are only 40 white labels of that release in existence. Both of us were heavily into more breakbeat-oriented stuff as well though, so we started Myor with that in mind. Until then, most of our output had been tekno and hardcore, since we both cut our teeth producing the type of music that would typically be played at free parties. That’s also where the Myor name comes from: the M and R are from his name, whilst the Y and O are from mine (Yoël). Initially I started it with a friend of mine called Mart. What was the initial idea behind the startup and has it changed over the years? It’s mostly about creating a certain vibe, more so than adhering to strict genre ‘rules’. With my Coco Bryce releases I’ll often put a downtempo track amongst the jungle and breakbeat bits. Besides Chavinski being mostly 130/140 BPM stuff and DJ-Y? being just hardcore tunes. It’s mostly about how I feel certain tracks would work together on an EP or album, often regardless of the genre. How do you decide which style to cater for with each new release? On your various releases, you meld UK Garage, 2Step, trance, techno, drum n bass, breaks, hardcore, jungle, and hip hop. If you have a bit of a feel for the crowd you’re playing to and can scope out which tunes to play at what points in your sets, genres become largely irrelevant in my opinion. ![]() I was chatting to Billy Bunter the other day, and he described it as “it’s all rave music to me”. How do you see the relationship between those genres and how do you manage to unite them so fluently? One of your latest DJ mixes for “ The Ransom Note” features a haunting story arc that takes the listener from jungle and drum n bass to trance and techno. It still feels the same to me, except nowadays I’ve technically grown a bit better at producing. It’s just that for the past seven or eight years my focus has been mostly on the uptempo vibes again. I started out with hardcore, breakbeat, jungle etc, then for a while I focused mainly on downtempo styles like hip hop, Skweee and a bit of dubstep, but I always kept playing and producing faster stuff as well. TURN DOWN THE WORLD TONIGHT PIANO FULLThings basically just went full circle for me. ![]() How does your hardcore past influence your current work and what did you learn from those days? TURN DOWN THE WORLD TONIGHT PIANO SERIALYou started as a hardcore and jungle DJ in 1995 and you have been a member of the influential ZMK Soundsystem party serial and label. Ill Behaviour is the name of one of my labels, but not all releases are by me, even though someone added it as such on Discogs. I mainly use DJ-Y? for the hardcore stuff, Coco Bryce for most of the jungle and downtempo tunes, Chavinski for UKG and house. Coco Bryce was in 2009, followed by Chavinski a couple of years ago. My first moniker was DJ Scine was formed back in 1995, then I started using the DJ-Y? one around the turn of the century. If so, how often did you switch your personality into different bodies/characters? And do your various aliases like Chavinski, Ill Behaviour and DJ Y? represent these different personalities? TURN DOWN THE WORLD TONIGHT PIANO MOVIEIt’s said that your artist name is inspired by the character Coco from the 1998 movie ‘The Acid House’. ![]()
