FADER Mix: Murlo

Hot on the heels of the Jasmine EP and video, Murlo has dropped a mixtape for Fader. A very special, collaborative mixtape with Gemma Dunleavy, the mix features a load of VIPs and dubs. In the words of FADER:

“When is a mix not a mix? When it’s a mutant mixtape, that’s when. For his contribution to the FADER Mix series, London producer Murlo hit up his “Jasmine” collaborator Gemma Dunleavy to help cook up something pretty special. The Dublin singer added her wistful flow to a handful of dancehall riddims, as well as a bunch of Murlo originals, including some intriguingly untitled beats. See what I mean about mutant mixtape? It’s the sound of the artist stretching, hinting at what’s to come. The result is strikingly tender: bubble-like xylophone tones, warm dancehall echoes, whispers of grime’s top-line melodies.”
