Hyp 200: Murlo

Kerri Chandler's hefty kick drum. Todd Edwards' vocal cut ups. Coki's snarling sub bass. These elements are sonic signatures for the producers that created them - components of their celebrated sounds that can be recognised from a mile off. The last couple of years have seen a new musical motif start to reach towards that pantheon of timeless sounds, in the shape of Chris Pell aka. Murlo's effervescent synth melodies. An illustrator by day, Pell cut his teeth in music as a DJ, before he began to sculpt his own distinct style, with his colourful synths have helped to separate his club constructions from the pack - making him one of the most exciting producers to emerge in the so called second wave of instrumental Grime.

Looking to bring in the 200th edition of our mix series in style, we invited Pell to deliver a dizzying club-ready selection of his influences, current favourites and original productions.
