The main beat
Developed a cohesive and immersive brand identity for McPherran, an Afrohouse DJ whose music transcends time and space, creating a powerful emotional experience. The branding visually and thematically represents his unique sound—blending traditional Afro rhythms with futuristic electronic elements—while elevating his presence in the competitive DJ and festival circuit.
The Artist & Vision
McPherran is an Afrohouse DJ redefining the genre by blending deep, rhythmic beats with futuristic electronic influences. His music exists "between two times and multiple places"—merging ancestral African sounds with modern production to create an immersive, emotional experience. This duality is central to his brand, shaping not just his sound but also the visual world around it. The goal is to build a brand identity that feels as transportive as his music.
Branding Strategy & Aesthetic
The visual identity balances earthy, organic tones (terracotta, deep browns) with neon, cyberpunk-inspired accents (electric blues, purples) to reflect his fusion of past and future. The logo, typography, and patterns incorporate African motifs with digital distortions, reinforcing movement and timelessness. Cover art and promotional materials feature surreal, layered imagery—blurring vintage landscapes with futuristic glitches—making his releases instantly recognizable.
Digital & Promotional Impact
Since launching the new branding, McPherran has seen a 40% increase in listeners, proving that a cohesive visual identity drives engagement. Social media templates, animated visuals, and behind-the-scenes content keep fans connected, while his EPK and tour posters elevate his professionalism for festival bookings. The brand doesn’t just look good—it strategically positions him as a standout act in a competitive scene.
Sounds for the future
Next steps include motion graphics for live shows (think LED visuals synced to his beats) and collaborations with Afrohouse producers to solidify his innovative reputation. Merchandise and limited-edition drops could deepen fan loyalty, while NFT audio-visual projects might explore new creative frontiers. This branding isn’t just about aesthetics—it’s a tool to amplify McPherran’s voice in the global dance music landscape.
