Dhani Harrison is set to embark on an exhilarating European tour this autumn, bringing his innovative sound and unique stage presence to audiences across the continent. Joining him as special guests are the dynamic duo IYEARA, known for their hypnotic blend of analogue electronica and striking visual performances. This tour promises to be a fusion of creativity and musical exploration, a must-see for fans and newcomers alike.

Originally stepping onto the global stage with his band thenewno2, Dhani Harrison first earned critical acclaim for his innovative sound and approach with performances at Coachella, Lollapalooza, and on multiple late-night TV shows. However, it was as a solo artist that Harrison truly demonstrated his creative autonomy. 2017’s “IN///PARALLEL” served as a testament to his evolution as a musician, weaving intricate melodies and subject matter that forewarned much of what the world has experienced in the years following its release.

Harrison is also known for scoring film and TV projects as well as collaborating with an array of diverse artists including Wu-Tang Clan, UNKLE, John McLaughlin, Annie Lennox, Pearl Jam, Nitin Sawhney, Perry Farrell, Prince, Regina Spektor, and Fistful of Mercy (alongside Ben Harper & Joseph Arthur). Since his 2013 debut as a composer on Richard La Gravenese’s “Beautiful Creatures,” Harrison has gone on to score the Sundance Award-winning “MATANGI/MAYA/M.I.A.,” for which he and his scoring partner Paul Hicks received an International Documentary Association (IDA) Award nomination for “Best Music Score Award.” Additional scores include R.Z.A.’s “Cut Throat City,” “Obey Giant – The Story of Shepard Fairey,” Amazon’s original series “Good Girls Revolt,” Showtime’s “White Famous,” and the much-lauded HBO docuseries, “The Case Against Adnan Syed.”

As an artist who defies categorization, Harrison continues to explore the boundaries of music and creativity. His ability to seamlessly blend diverse influences while maintaining his individuality has solidified his place as a contemporary musical visionary. With each new composition, performance, and collaboration, Dhani Harrison invites us to join him on a sonic journey that knows no limits.

IYEARA presents a post-globalization dystopia in a coat of analogue electronica and hacked widescreen visuals. A plethora of remixes and early single drops have led to some serious plaudits from Clash and The Line of Best Fit, to name but a couple. The duo, comprised of producers Toby Butler (The Duke Spirit/Liela Moss) and Malcolm Carson, have lent their hands to remixes for the likes of The Prodigy, Humanist ft Dave Gahan, Laura Marling’s LUMP project, Band of Skulls, The Ting Tings, Liela Moss, The Boxer Rebellion, Lost Horizons, Paris Youth Foundation, and Lusts.

IYEARA’s 14-track remixed version of Mark Lanegan’s “Somebody’s Knocking” album, reimagined as “Another Knock at the Door,” was heralded as “Arguably the finest remix album in years,” according to Buzz Magazine. “A perfect match in synth heaven,” said Turn up the Volume.

Their gift for reincarnating such tracks didn’t go unnoticed, and the duo were shortlisted for ‘Remixer of the Year’ at the MPG Awards alongside Matthew Herbert and Shura.
