Ryan Murgatroyd is a highly acclaimed South African electronic music producer, DJ, and educator with a career spanning nearly two decades. From his early rise to global recognition in 2004 with his track Funk Country, which was hailed as BBC Radio 1’s ‘Essential New Tune,’ to signing hit singles with Toolroom Records, Ryan has consistently pushed the boundaries of electronic music. His productions, such as Music Make Me Feel and Bantwana’s Piano, have earned him a place on international platforms like Defected Records and Get Physical Music. These releases, championed by industry icons like Solomun and Adriatique, helped cement his reputation as a driving force in modern house music. Ryan’s deep roots in South African music culture have played a pivotal role in his career. With a strong commitment to his home country’s music scene, he has not only made a significant impact as a producer and live performer but also as an educator. Over the years, Ryan has lectured more than 1,500 students at the Soul Candi Institute of Music, many of whom have gone on to become successful electronic artists in their own right. His passion for nurturing talent and pioneering sound has led to chart-topping success under his alias Crazy White Boy, where he played a key role in shaping the future of South African house music. Today, Ryan continues to innovate, launching his own label, Swoon Recordings, and collaborating with some of the biggest names in electronic music. His commitment to creating a "sonic revolution" in electronic music is evident in his continued success as both a solo artist and collaborator. Whether performing on world-renowned stages like Boiler Room and Hi Ibiza or leading the charge in music education, Ryan Murgatroyd remains a trailblazer in the global electronic music landscape.
