Introducing: Tyvion Valentine

Tyvion Valentine has quickly established himself as one of electronic music’s most distinctive voices. The Dublin-born producer and DJ has made waves with releases on labels including Another Rhythm, SouthPoint, and Eton Messy, earning nods from Resident Advisor and a feature on BBC Radio 1’s Introducing Mix earlier this year.

Before relocating to London, Tyvion was a fixture in Dublin’s club scene, supporting heavyweights like George FitzGerald, DJ Seinfeld, Mall Grab, Skin On Skin, Salute, and Effy, while also appearing at major Irish festivals including Electric Picnic. His sound — a deft balance of groove, texture, and emotion — has positioned him at the forefront of a new generation of forward-thinking producers and DJs, blending club-ready energy with experimental flair.

1. You’ve built quite a reputation with releases across respected labels like Another Rhythm, SouthPoint, and Eton Messy — what connects your work across these imprints? Do you approach each label with a different sound or mindset?

Most of my releases have come through connections I’ve made with artists making similar music to me at the time, it kind of happens naturally. For example, I was in touch with Cortese who recently released on Southpoint , so I decided to send them ‘Baby’. They loved it and ended up signing it as part of a four-track EP.

In 2023 when I was releasing music consistently, it caught the attention of labels like Another Rhythm who I was keen to release on. An A&R there (Grace) asked if I had any demos and I had luckily just finished ‘Vanilla’. It's kind of like a snowball effect, the more music you release, the more doors and opportunities open up for you. A lot of it comes down to timing, luck and knowing the right people.

2. Your BBC Radio 1 Introducing Mix was a big moment — ten minutes of entirely original productions. How did you decide what to showcase, and what does that mix say about where your sound is headed right now?

It was definitely a huge milestone for me. Jaguar (big shoutout) has been supporting my music on BBC Introducing over the last three years so it was great to have gotten that sort of recognition. At the time I’d been making slower tracks, which I wanted to showcase in the mix before leading into some older releases.

In the first eight months or so of moving to London, it was hard to find the time to focus on music, and naturally my sound started to slow down a bit. Since recording the mix in July, I feel my production has progressed a lot.

3. You’ve gone from playing Dublin’s club circuit — supporting names like Mall Grab, DJ Seinfeld, and Effy — to making a new base in London. How has that shift in scene and energy influenced your creative process?

I was DJ’ing a lot more in Dublin and had more time to focus on producing. I’m still very much settling into London but the music I'm currently making seems like a big step up to anything I’ve released before. I think that’s a reflection of everything I’ve been exposed to over the past year and it feels great to be creating music that I’m excited about again.

4. Your remix work, including the contribution to Icarus’s remix album, feels like a natural extension of your production style. What draws you to reinterpreting other artists’ material, and how do you make a remix distinctly yours?

When I hear a track that resonates with me, I automatically start getting ideas of what else I could do with it. When I first heard ‘LNFLTF’ I instantly fell in love, it had a similar energy to some of my own tracks, and I knew an acid line under Lenn’s vocals would work perfectly.

I’ve built up a bank of samples and presets from various VST’s. Reusing those sounds helps keep my remixes sounding consistent and distinctive.

5. You’ve already earned attention from Resident Advisor and BBC Radio 1 — what’s next for you? Are there any upcoming projects or collaborations that feel like the next chapter in your evolution as a producer?

Yeah, for sure. I’ve just finished up a lot of new music, so my main focus over the next year is getting those tracks out on the right labels and collaborating more with other artists. I especially want to work with vocalists. I really miss the feeling of having a busy release schedule. I’ve had other priorities since moving here but overall, I’m really excited to start putting out music regularly again in 2026.
