MPH — May 2026

MPH, the stage name of Myles Fairbairn, is a UK garage and bass producer from Canterbury, England, who has become a consistent presence on the new wave of UK garage, representing a sound rooted in the genre's original 4x4 pulse while pushing its production vocabulary into heavier contemporary bass territory. He began DJing in his local Canterbury scene under the brand name Delirium alongside a group of like-minded producers, developing a DJ style initially inspired by the filtered, garage-inflected production of Todd Edwards — one of UK garage's foundational influences. As his production identity developed, he moved between the smooth, pitched-vocal end of UK garage and the more aggressive bassline sound popularised by labels including Crucast, finding a position that could credibly occupy both spaces. His release catalogue spans some of the scene's most respected imprints: DJ EZ's Nuvolve, Kiwi Rekords, Night Bass, Spinnin' Records, and Crucast — a spread of labels that reflects the breadth of his sound and his willingness to calibrate production for different subgenres within the bass music ecosystem. He has been described as a staple of the new wave of UK garage, with his sets blending garage, house, bass, and soul in proportions that shift with the energy of the room. His cosmicMEADOW booking at EDC Las Vegas 2026 on the Friday night brings the UK bass sound to Insomniac's alternative and electronic stage, where his genre-fluid approach connects with the cosmicMEADOW audience's appetite for productions that sit outside the peak-hour EDM mainstream.
