Mixes: @murderbot.netAbout: By night this mild mannered 22 year old grad student from Kansas City named Chrissy becomes the mysterious party-mashing junglist known as Murderbot. “I got into electronic music pretty early” says Murderbot, who has 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 creme 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.” Murderbot is currently proving the point that classic, mashup, ragga-jungle is the shit. While the music had its heyday in mid-’90s London, it never caught on in the USA, but this record is documentation that it’s alive and well in Middle America ten years on.
