Hyrah

Hyrah is a London-based drum and bass producer and DJ working primarily in drum and bass and liquid funk. Recorded releases include the Foregone EP (released January 6, 2023) and the Smth Wrong EP (released March 1, 2024). Hyrah has released on onesevenfour and The Chikara Project, and appears on the Drum Army compilation Traces Vol. 1 (released April 2, 2026). Notable tracks and EP cuts associated with Hyrah include "Surplus", "Quantify" and "Echoes". Hyrah also performs DJ sets at UK events (listed on Resident Advisor).

Public biographical detail beyond releases is limited, but the record trail shows Hyrah emerging from London’s drum and bass networks via label releases beginning in 2023. The Foregone EP (Jan 6, 2023) marks the first dated EP credit on record, followed by Smth Wrong (Mar 1, 2024). Later inclusion on Drum Army’s Traces Vol. 1 (Apr 2, 2026) documents continued activity and label recognition through 2026.

On record, Hyrah’s sound sits squarely in liquid-leaning drum and bass. Across the Foregone and Smth Wrong EPs and singles such as "Surplus", "Quantify" and "Echoes", the production favors warm sub-bass lines, clear midrange for melodic elements, and measured, rolling drum patterns rather than aggressive halftime hits. The EP tracks repeatedly use reverb-drenched pads and layered vocal fragments to create atmosphere; percussion is presented as tight, syncopated break edits with focused snare transients. In the mixes, Hyrah leaves space in the low end for a rounded sub while allowing harmonic content to occupy the mids and highs, a hallmark of liquid funk arrangements heard on those releases.

As a DJ, Hyrah’s billed performances at UK events (listed on Resident Advisor) place the artist behind club and event turntables rather than solely in the studio. Recorded output and set listings indicate a track selection that balances liquid melodicism with deeper rollers — the kind of programming that emphasizes smooth transitions, harmonic mixing and attention to track phrasing. These choices mirror the production aesthetic on Hyrah’s EPs: extended intros, melodic breakdowns, and basslines that sit deliberately in the sub rather than using extreme distortion or wild modulation.

Career highlights that are verifiable: Foregone EP (onesevenfour, Jan 6, 2023), Smth Wrong EP (The Chikara Project, Mar 1, 2024), and participation on Drum Army’s Traces Vol. 1 (Apr 2, 2026). The named tracks "Surplus", "Quantify" and "Echoes" appear among Hyrah’s notable releases, and DJ bookings in the UK are documented on Resident Advisor listings.

There is no comprehensive public list of personal influences available; stylistic connections can be drawn from Hyrah’s liquid-funk approach on the cited releases, but specific artists or mentors are not listed in public sources.
