One of the rising stars of the East African music scene KMRU was selected as one of Resident Advisor’s 15 East African artists you need to hear last year, playing at the infamous Nyege Nyege Festival in 2018, and being picked up by Deadmau5’s label Mau5trap for a track on their ‘We Are Friends’ compilation, with Chris Waldt.
KMRU makes intelligent atmospheric and emotionally evocative electronic music. His sounds combine everything from gritty, indigenous field recordings to piano to 303. As his Erased EP demonstrates, soulful electronica sounds beautiful, even natural. Just a 300 pressing, so pick up this gem from Nairobi before they go – 3 sublime tracks! Mastered by Neil Perch, artwork by G.S-L Studio.
We’re excited to premiere the title cut of his forthcoming EP, which you can pre-order here.
