TYRON DEEP / DJ / PRODUCER
With music flowing through his veins from a very young age, Tyron Deep was determined to share his love and his passion for music with the world…. Starting out on Stanton turntables and quickly moving onto the very popular CDJ 800 MK1, Tyron found his home away from home behind the decks.
Tyron Deep has been privileged enough to share the spotlight with some of South Africa’s top DJ’s in the industry such as House Hold Funk , House Knights (Jo Deeper, Miguel Tavares), Cecil Mac, Grant Bunting, Whitey D’Vine, Nick Essential, Blake, Just Smart, Rozo, Sterra Lucas, Bobstar D’lux, Guy Herman, Morgan Beatbox, Essential Groove as well as highly recognized internationals such as DJ Jessi G, Alex De Saint and Charles Webster.
With a strong presence and following at H2O (FULL MOON) 2012, Woodstock 2012, and Sat.Is.Factory, Tyron Deep is no stranger to big events and with his very unique electric stage presence he is definitely seen as “a cut above the rest”.
South Africas #1 ranked Super Club TRUTH has invited Tyron Deep to showcase his talent and share his love for the deep with their very passionate TRUTH goers.
Tyron Deep has also banged some seriously hot tracks at the likes of Capital Music, Café Zucchero, Mystique, News Café Bedfordview and Emperors Palace, Nicci Beach (Home of H2O), CSS (Central Sunday Sessions), Kitchners, Bambu Groove, Fire & Ice Johannesburg, Mi House, Arts on Main as well as the highly rated radio station UJFM 95.4FM. Tyron DeeP was crowned as resident DJ for the Deep House Sunday show after a tough session of mixing against some of the best and finishing on top after a ruthless elimination process.
Tyron Deep has successfully touched every soul on his dance floor with his technical ability as well as his choice of tracks that have literally grabbed the souls of his fans and sent each of them on a journey they will never forget and wait with baited breathe to take again…
Tyron Deep has focused a lot more time on producing his own music now days, needless to say it has come natural to him. Ableton 9 is the only producing program Tyron uses and with good reason.
In just 4 months Tyron has produced 8 tracks, ( 3 of which are being released by international record labels ) with influences coming from far and wide, there is just no stopping this all-rounder..
Tyron Deep has built a very sensual and meaningful relationship with music that can be felt, heard and understood by each and every person that crosses paths with him…..
THE BEAT LINK
Tyron Deep has started a Facebook initiative called The Beat Link which is a musically inspired initiative that gives DJ’s, musicians, artists, fans, club owners and events coordinators the opportunity to whats new and whats hot in the industry, from local to international DJ’s and producers.
This is where “YOU” can showcase your talent… your technical ability… your passion….Your true love for music!
DJ’s that have been in the industry for years as well as those that are just starting out have the opportunity to post the link to their mix sets or original productions to THE BEAT LINK wall so WE can all ENJOY THE UNIVESAL LANGUAGE that is MUSIC and SHARE THE LOVE….
How would you describe your influences and how have they changed over the years?
From Maceo Plex to Avatism, i get inspired in different ways everyday.
Although i stick to my own sound, its the small ambient sounds and FX that capture me. i still get inspired by listening to old classics just not as much as some of the new " darker " sounds that i find myself being pulled towards.
Sounds are all around us and i dont hesitate to record my own bits, from traffic to insects to people walking on the street, its all apart of who i am
What´s new right now?
i am busy working with a few local homeless people.. yes for real, 2 men ( Ubi -45 and Strings – 60) and a lady ( Lettus – 43)
the two men have the deepest roughest voices i have heard, together they are a before and after of each other. While Lettus has the sweetest softest voice.
I found them one day while walking to get some new recordings of traffic sounds, they were each holding there own to a classic by Alex Kidd. needless to say i stopped and recorded them. the following day i took them to my house/studio and we just clicked.
We get together when we can and always give thanks for the time we can let go of or problems and let the music take control and transport us to "that place"
we have completed 1 track so far and are in the final stages of the second.
From the intro to the bass line to the muffled gents and unmissable lyrics from my new friends its as real as it gets..
