DAMYARD

Damiano Connolly, better known online as Damyard (stylized as DΔMYΔRD), is a Northern Irish electronic music producer and DJ. Damyard gained popularity in 2013, after making a DJ mix to tribute Daft Punk, who had recently released Random Access Memories. From 2007 to 2012, Damyard worked closely with Rem Kingston (MrRem), the creator of VogueFM, PocoLoco and PrettyUgly on both online and live projects.
Damyard began experimenting with music after hearing Daft Punk’s Discovery in 2004, but didn’t release a debut EP until 2009 on Argentine music label, Trident Music. In 2011, Damyard left Trident Music to set up DMyRD, a musical outlet from which the artist could freely release music without the input of others. After a rebranding in 2013, including a name change from “Dj Damyard” to “Damyard”, Damyard assumed an anonymous persona, removing all images showing the identity of the artist. The release of Damyard’s “Alive 2013” interpretation, a week after Daft Punk’s Random Access Memories was released, saw the popularity of Damyard rise dramatically. After copyright issues with Warner Music Group, the mix was removed from the internet.
