about

When this record dropped in 2005 the mild mannered 22-year-old from Kansas City more commonly known today as Chrissy, was a mysterious party-mashing junglist known as Murderbot. “I got into electronic music pretty early” said Chrissy Murderbot, who had been playing out at parties since the tender age of 12. “I am an OBSESSIVE record collector. It's a sickness. My favorite jungle label is Tearin' Vinyl. I had a poem about the amen break published in XLR8R once. It was cute.”

While Music & Program Director at KJHK, the college station at the University of Kansas, Chrissy hosted a radio show of obscure “pre-techno experimental disco” called Superdisco Galactica. “I have never broken a bone, unless you count my skull, which I've cracked open twice. I ate a peanut butter & marshmallow cream sandwich (aka a ‘fluffernutter’) for lunch EVERY SINGLE SCHOOL DAY from the start of kindergarten until my high school graduation. It was partially because I liked them, and partially to prove a point.”

With this release Murderbot also proved the point that classic, mashup, ragga-jungle was still the shit 10 years after its advent in mid-‘90s U.K. rave scene. While the sound never really caught on in the USA, this record was documentation that it was actually alive and well in Middle America. Like the very best classic jungle tunes, Murderbot's complex, yet precisely composed, drum programming, and keen sense of harmonic structure made for tracks that simultaneously murdered the dance-floor and mashed up the brain.

REVIEWS

“Murderbot demonstrates just how strong his next-generation ragga-core kung-fu skills are on ‘Fi You,’ while also demonstrating a strong sense of musical dynamics with his ballsy use of Jethro Tull's ‘Cross Eye Mary’ to build up the tension before the killer breakbeats on ‘Twilight Zone.’
- Grooves Magazine

“Kansas City's Murderbot is one of the U.S.'s leading ragga jungle producers and ‘Fi You’ blends Waterhouse vocal samples with rattling amens. Headz who'll play anything from Luke Vibert's Plug to Congo Natty plates should check [this] inventive disc...”
- XLR8R Magazine

“Fucking hellfire! Goddamn! Fucking SMOKING man! Off the hinges mate, seriously. Oh yes - these are gonna get fucking RINSED!”
- Mr. Trick, Resonance FM, London
