Mura Masa

"Alex Crossan er bedst, når han ikke danser med de tunge drenge. Som Mura Masa er han med uhørt hast nået til et niveau, hvor legekammeraterne kan være snart sagt hvem som helst. Det betyder dog ikke, at han altid styrer spillet på legepladsen og jorden er giftig, når han kaster rundt med veldrejede trapagtige pop-produktioner, mens vennerne danser rundt efter egne regler".

"Alex Crossan's debut album is a love letter to multicultural London that's informed by the 21-year-old musician's insular upbringing and abetted by a number of high-profile guests".

"Like Jamie xx, or the early speeded-up-soul-sample Kanye West productions for Jay-Z, or the 21st-century pop-house of first-album-era Disclosure, you can hear Mura Masa a mile off. Named after a deranged Japanese swordsmith of the 16th century, the Guernsey native manages to combine cutting-edge club shivers with a welcoming warmth. He is sensitive to the charge of cultural appropriation of his exotic sounds, but says he's doing it with respect".
