Style: drum&bass, laced with influences from ragga, dub, hiphop, r&b, electro and deep house, interjected with the occasional old school plate. Few or no rewinds and supertight speedmixing. Murdock wants people to get to know the best music there is around and serves it up in a deep house kind of style; with depths and heights, a true build-up, a careful selection and seemless mixing. Because of his work for Plastiks, his radio show and his status as a dj, Murdock gets the latest and freshest on promo and test press, which enables him to stay ahead of the game.
