Entirely self-taught, murr’s journey into music began with two tape decks. Staying up all night he would record songs off the radio and then repeat them, creating sound collages, composing whole stories using the lyrics of popular songs. He then graduated to turntables and then to Samplers and Computers. Though hip hop has been the love and push behind murr’s production style, he also felt he had to explore other modes of programming. This need led him to explore and experiment with different forms of Electronic music: techno, house, and drum and bass.
