Jeremy Olander
2024-08-23 18:00 - 23:00
Announcing – Jeremy Olander headlining The Music Yard on Friday, August 23rd!

Described by fans, media and industry alike as the saviour of the true progressive style, Jeremy Olander captivates audiences from a festival stage and within an intimate club environment. Born in Stockholm, he’s leading the host of next generation artists that continues the Scandinavian capital’s dance music lineage, a pedigree represented by countless DJs and producers who’ve gone from local underground prospects to globally recognized main-stage superstars – a trajectory followed by Olander.

A jack of many sonic trades, Jeremy effortlessly floats between his eponymously released deep and emotionally charged progressive house, big vocal-infused belters and drum-oriented techno. Shunning the industry tendency towards commodification, Jeremy rejects the idea of succumbing to what’s hot right now over his own identity. Driven by integrity, longevity and a crystal clear vision, he’s carved out his own niche that distinguishes him from the pack.

After being the first-ever artist to sign a multi-release deal with Eric Prydz’s Pryda Friends, the Swedish DJ, producer, and label founder has become one of the most highly regarded artists in melodic house and techno. Olander released multiple EPs, and remixes, recorded a shortlisted BBC Essential Mix, and performed at iconic venues Madison Square Garden in New York City and Brixton Academy in London alongside Prydz.

Olander has released original music on some of the dance music’s most respected imprints, such as Berlin institution Watergate, Sasha’s Last Night On Earth, Adam Beyer’s Drumcode, UK behemoth Anjunadeep and Solomun’s Diynamic.

OMNOM
2024-08-02 18:00 - 23:00
We are thrilled to announce OMNOM’s long-awaited return to The Music Yard on Friday, August 2nd!

Individuality is OMNOM’s calling card. It’s precisely what prompts him to operate not just off house music’s beaten path, but so deeply within his own lane that he evades comparison and predictability. In his inability to be pinned down lies OMNOM’s power. And since 2018, he’s channeled it to steadily chart his course to a distinction coveted by many in dance/electronic circles but ultimately claimed by few: household name.

Over the past five years, the enigmatic producer has increasingly carved his niche in the house scene with a clear sense of mystique. This involves not just toeing the line between the underground and the mainstream, but hopping, skipping, and jumping around it. It’s a matter not only of skill, but also of fluidity and agility. The result? Left-of-center, bass-fueled house maximalism. This risk taking persona has lead to him receiving the support of some of House music’s heaviest-hitters including Walker & Royce, FISHER, Kyle Watson, Claude Vonstroke, and Justin Martin.

While her performances were taking her to festivals like Coachella, Ultra, III Points, Electric Forest and Splash House, her production and songwriting began to build a reputation as a “creative newcomer making unique beats” with”a more eclectic and indie sound.” Not one to fit comfortably within a box, Nala’s diverse knowledge of music has led to her ability to sew the needle through multiple genres and create her own lane.

Com Truise (DJ Set)
2024-06-29 18:00 - 23:00
Synthwave funk tastemaker Com Truise headlines The Music Yard on Saturday, June 29th!

Com Truise is one of the many personas of producer and designer Seth Haley. An admitted synth obsessive, Com Truise is the maker of an experimental and bottom heavy style with neon-streaked melodies, big drums, robotic grooves, bleary nostalgia is what make him special.

While subliminally informed by both parental record collections and hints of faded electronics product design, Haley’s Com Truise project isn’t just nostalgia capitalization. There are fragments (read: DNA strands) of Joy Division, New Order, and the Cocteau Twins, but it’s like you’re hearing them through the motherboard of a waterlogged console—demented and modern. He’s got a way of making familiar things sound beautifully hand-smeared.
