“A punk vibe drenched in electronics, incredibly nimble fingers on the controls, and a singer who conjures something new from his vocal arsenal with every line, almost seeming to speak sign language with his hand movements…”

The Mye_Taai artist team operates in the electronic and club space, drawing from rave, punk, and DIY ‘Baggy” tape culture, with a high-energy live set designed for clubs, festivals, and forward-thinking environments.

This is Mye_Taai, we do it and things differently.
A movement, a moment, a one-off.
Print the legend.
The “Rave Club For Two” cathedral must be built. . . . build and look forward.”

“…and what the f🐦‍⬛🌌k is a Mye_Taai?
Stories told through ‘baggy basement rave club punk’ tunes with bits of their own.
A big celebration, error and ultra parties.

This is Mye_Taai, we do it and things differently.
It’s all-day authentic
Designed for the forward-thinking.
A ‘Baggy Tape Act’.
A movement.
A moment.
A one-off.
Print the legend.
The “Rave Club For Two” cathedral must be built. . . . build and look forward.”

When not on a film set, he channels his energy into the electronic punk scene as a DJ for the Hague-based collective Mye_Taai. Rik bridges the gap between high-end visuals and raw electronic sound, bringing a cinematic eye to the booth and a alternative spirit to the screen.
