Murlo creates a sonic world that feels both hyper-modern and strangely ancient. His music is defined by a unique 'wet' texture; synths sound like droplets of liquid light hitting a glass surface, while the rhythms draw from the syncopated swing of UK Funky and the sharp edges of Grime. It is electronic music that prioritizes melody and atmosphere without losing the propulsive energy of the London club scene.
What truly sets him apart is his commitment to worldbuilding. Often accompanying his music with his own hand-drawn illustrations and animations, the sound feels like a soundtrack to a lost fantasy RPG set in a futuristic metropolis. There is a sense of weightlessness here, where heavy basslines are balanced by delicate, flute-like leads and shimmering pads that evoke a sense of wonder and digital mysticism.
Start with the album 'Dolos' for a masterclass in his narrative-driven, atmospheric style. If you want something more geared toward the dancefloor, the 'Into Mist' EP showcases his ability to blend melodic beauty with the skeletal, aggressive structures of classic UK club music.
