Musaji are British Asian DJ/producers made up of Manchester-based brothers Esh and Adam, whose sound delivers hypnotic electro grooves and acid-infused breakbeat with an energy rooted equally in live performance and underground club culture. As a duo, they represent something genuinely compelling in the north of England's electronic scene, a project forged from shared heritage, brotherly chemistry, and a deep love of hardware-driven music-making.
Musaji blend their past experience of playing in live bands with their passion for the underground electronic music scene, crafting original music using a growing collection of hardware sequencers and synthesizers, bringing live performances to events across the north of the UK. That live band background is audible in everything they do, there is a physicality and spontaneity to their sets that goes beyond what most pure DJ acts can offer, with the brothers locked into a shared rhythm both literally and figuratively.
Acid basslines, techno, and ambient breaks all find a home in their world, and it is this willingness to move between moods and tempos, from cerebral, hypnotic grooves to more visceral, floor-focused material that makes their performances so absorbing. The modular synthesis and hardware-first approach gives their sound a warmth and unpredictability that studio-only productions rarely match.
They have performed at venues including The Carlton Club and Partisan Collective in Manchester, building a loyal following within the city's discerning underground community. They have also shared bills with artists such as Polypores and Dan Copsey, placing them firmly within a broader ecosystem of boundary-pushing British electronic music. Musaji are a duo with their roots firmly planted and their eyes fixed squarely on the horizon.
