Murat
Elephanthaus Records
Techno comes in many forms. There's the melodic, textured Detroit techno of Juan Atkins, Derrick May, and Kevin Saunderson. There's the tougher spacey European variety of Luke Slater, Dave Angel, and C.J. Bolland. Then there's the hards-as-nails, compressed sounds of Stockholm pioneered by Cari Lekebusch, Adam Beyer, and Joel Mull. Murat's work falls into the latter category.
Based in Detroit, Murat was the first artist to be signed to Tim Baker burgeoning Elephanthaus label. Move, his first release for the label, was an underground techno hit, and led to further releases on European labels such as Method and Primate. The follow-up, Transpose, revealed a more mature techno sound that will find favor with fans of labels Underground Resistance, Planet E, and Metroplex.
