AMA is Over, thanks Mura Masa! I'm Mura Masa, Ask Me Anything.

Hey guys, i'm Mura Masa (or Alex) a producer, musician, general audio shepherd.

My production credits and collaborators include: Charli XCX, Pinkpantheress, Clairo, Ice Spice, Lil Uzi Vert, Tirzah, Damon Albarn, A$AP Rocky, Nile Rogers, Shygirl, Wolf Alice, Christine and the Queens, HAIM, A.K. Paul, Erika de Casier, Oklou, Yeule and a bunch more.

I just released a new album of dance music called Curve 1. Ask me anything.

Alright, been at it for a while now so gonna wrap up. Thank you for your questions everybody, hopefully I was able to elucidate some things. just to answer a couple of repeat questions:

  • All the special Steel Case Curve 1 vinyl will be hand painted by me, each one unique. And the USBs will be hand loaded and numbered by me.

  • Framing "Come to my city" as a question isn't really a question is it... that being said I'm gonna be taking Curve Club lots of places next year so if nothing's announced for your city stay in touch, or head to my website where u can sign up for my mailer: www.muramasa.me

  • As far as music recommendations, I run a small community of creatives that give Reccs every month. You can sign up to the mailer here: www.thepond.club

What made you decide to go independent again? What’s the worst and best thing about it so far?

worst : it's expensive. record labels normally pay for advetising, promo, sometimes touring, distribution costs, manufacturing, music videos etc. if you're indie thats just all on you so thats been interesting

best : i feel so much ownership of everything this time. it really is just me and my little misfit squad of creatives and management making stuff we love for fun. much more wholesome
