Soca, Dancehall and Grime all find their way into the tracks of London based DJ and Producer Murlo. In recent years his profile has steadily risen with an ever growing catalogue of top notch EP’s, remixes and club edits. Whether your looking to just sway and feel the vibes or dance hard all night Murlo’s mixes and tracks have something for you.
New York City based by way of Austin, TX DJ and Producer Dubbel Dutch is known not to rest in one genre. His peers have dubbed him “An accomplished producer of cosmic tone poems and club anthems from the abyss.” Although that description sounds lofty, whether he is remixing a newly released dancehall anthem or infusing UK grime and Kuduro into a new club Jam you can be sure his tracks will compel you to start dancing. Check out his recently released EP on Mixpak Records.
And I quote:
“Cluster was a German experimental musical group who influenced the development of contemporary popular electronic and ambient music. They have recorded albums in a wide variety of styles ranging from experimental music to progressive rock, all of which had an avant-garde edge. Cluster was active from 1971 until 2010, releasing a total of 15 albums, including two collaborations with Brian Eno. Musician, writer and rock historian Julian Cope places three Cluster albums in his Krautrock Top 50[1] and “The Wire” places Cluster’s self-titled debut album in their “One Hundred Records That Set The World On Fire”.”
I picked Cluster because of their album “Zuckerzeit”. It rules, get it. Cold, cool, futuristic, alingual computer grooves. Their canon is impressive, but this record sets the template.
Hear it: KMFD leads a trip through The Singularity, a freeform space encompassed by the monogenre, every Thursday from 2 to 4. KMFD can also sometimes be found performing as a computerless, one-man, futuristic groove bot.
