Entirely self-taught, murr's journey into music began with two tape decks.
Staying up all night he would record songs off the radio and then repeat them,
creating sound collages, composing whole stories using the lyrics of popular
songs. He then graduated to turntables and then to Samplers and Computers.
Though Hip Hop has been the love and push behind murr's production style, he
also felt he had to explore other modes of programming. This need led him to
exploring and experimenting with different forms of Electronic music: techno,
house, and drum and bass.
Public Transit Records has provided an outlet for his love of experimentation.
