MUR 014EP
|
"Nima Gorji returns to the murmur label in the new decade with two dancefloor seducing tracks on Yesterdays EP. A second artist EP for Nima Gorji on murmur, Yesterdays EP unites pure grooves with lashing beats, sedating the dancefloor with 'Forbidden Ritual' and electrifying it with 'Watchin' Out.' On 'Forbidden Ritual,' Nima took inspiration from the Brazilian instrument Berimbau. 'It was used in capoeira,' explains Nima. 'This culture and the its rituals was forbidden in Brazil from 1892 and capoeira was against the law for 20 years until 1918.' These hints of history encapsulate a mysterious aura for the record, and create a spell-binding listen. Taking a more traditional approach for the B side, Nima remarks, ''Watchin' Out' is the kind of a groove I usually work with and pure dancefloor cut.' Nima Gorji has made his mark on the underground dance scene with an array of uniquely mystical productions across many imprints. His productions have now been included on three of murmur's past releases. Based in Ibiza year round, he holds a long-term residency at Space and was nominated as Best Ibiza DJ in the 10th Edition of the DJ Awards."

MUR 003EP
|
"The third release on the Murmur imprint supports another rising star from their UK base. Bearweasel have proved in their handful of productions to be one of the most refreshing production acts around. The Orpington EP further exposes their versatility, reaching into the depths of their influences and delivering two contemporary cuts paired with an inspired remix from Dubshape. The EP's opener 'Pillow Head' is a track as mellow and warm as its namesake, drenched in supple beats and tingling sound. 'Wander Down' steps up the game, weaving deep atmosphere through its layers of loops and grooves. The Dubshape remix adds menace to the track, laced with foghorns and rolling melodies, the results of each cut are diverse and uniquely appealing. Dubshape, aka Ale Reis and Joao Lee, are residents at the world's best nightspots, Warung and D-Edge in Sao Paulo, Brazil, a place where they gather influence from the surrounding burgeoning scene and have built a dynamic sound. Bearweasel are Dean Muhsin and Louisa Page, from the north and south of England respectively. A chance meeting in 2007 led to an understanding of a shared love of dub-infused house, intricate percussion and, strangely, wildfowl. Their tracks fuse deep house, jazz samples, live percussion and contemporary production to create quite individual sounds."
