MIDI - A standard for representing musical information in a digital format. [ M(usical) I(nstrument) D(igital) I(nterface) ] MAFIA - An organization prominent in a particular field or enterprise, associated with a particular traffic Midi Mafia is the deadly combination of DJ/producer Dirty Swift, and MC/producer Bruce Waynne, who formed an unlikely partnership in 2002. Bruce Waynne grew up in the East New York section of Brooklyn, amid all the chaos and hustle of the BK streets. A brief stay in Rikers Island proved enough to pull his attention away from the streets and towards a career in the music industry, where his talent for creating catchy hooks and beats lead him to sell over 60,000 units independently with his former group US.

Dirty Swift is a Canadian-born beat junkie who caught the music bug at an early age. He became a turntable wiz by high school, winning the DMC Canadian DJ Championship soon after, and later branched off into production, working with some of the biggest names in Canada (K-OS, Choclair etc). Determined to penetrate the US market, Swift left Ottawa, Canada and headed for The Hip Hop Mecca, NYC. As chance would have it, Swift and Bruce met in a Brooklyn recording studio, while both working on the same project. They vibed, and soon after, formed a partnershiphence, the beginning of Midi Mafia.

Their union has since resulted in one of the most powerful, extraordinary production efforts of the past two years. Their Number One hit single, 50 Cent's "21 Questions," was one of the biggest songs to hit the charts in 2003. Midi Mafia now sits atop of an impressive list of elite artists and producers bubbling on the surface of today's music scene. They have collectively spawned some of the heaviest remixes and hottest tracks of the year, and are now rightfully emerging as one of the industry's most sought after production teams.

Since their inception, the pair has produced smashes and/or highly anticipated projects in the works for Nelly, Busta Rhymes, 50 Cent, Mos Def, Lil Mo, Westside Connection, Talib Kweli, Tamia, Fantasia, The Bravehearts, NORE, CNN, G-Unit and more. Additionally, the group's exclusive remixes continue to land coveted spots on radio and mixtapes all across the country. The group has also garnered national media attention, and has appeared on BET's 106 and Park , Rap City and The 2003 Billboard AURN Hip Hop and R&B Awards.

Now outfitted to bring their very own offerings to the music industry, Midi Mafia are preparing to unfurl their new label Family Ties, which is distributed by Atlantic Records. Currently they are working on the first artist signed to their imprint, an R&B female from Brooklyn named Deemi, as well as their own debut album.

As producers, CEOs and now artists, the twosome have more than reason enough to be excited. Working relentlessly with their team and other artists, the duo is expected to continue dropping hot remixes and surefire hits. Known for masterfully assembling whole songs - not just a beat or a hook, Bruce Waynne lends his distinctive vocals and charismatic hooks, while Dirty Swift applies his DJ influenced methodologies and technical expertise. The result is an innovative blend of hooks, beats and choruses - just add vocals and you're song is a ready-made hit.

With their artist deal, a new label deal, a remarkable catalog of hits and a long laundry list of artists calling on them to produce their magic, Midi Mafia has no choice but to be at the forefront of the next great music movement. Expected to bring even more heat in 2006, this two-man hit-making machine has definitely created a winning formula. Get Connected!
