Rebel Waltz recorded live @ House Love / London

Music has played a big part in Murray's life from a very early age. Music of different variety has always appealed to him and an interest in the soulful, the experimental and the obscure remains with him still today.

His first memory of taking an interest in music comes from playing early Devo and The Clash trax and along with the 2Tone and Go Feet sounds of The Specials and The Beat, these formed what was his first major musical influences.

1987 was his first experience of house music through the early Trax and DJ International sounds and having been involved in night clubs in Ayrshire, Scotland, from a young age, it was the original Streetrave "West Coast Jams" at Ayr Pavilion that turned him onto the music that still captures his heart today.

Having moved from Ayrshire to the capital of Scotland, he quickly established himself as one of the worlds best up and coming house DJ 's, crafting his deep house style at his early residencies, “Genus” and “Zodiac”, before going onto dj in some of the worlds coolest clubs.

The world of house music finally realized Murray's potential and since wining the prestigious "Muzik" magazine, bedroom bedlam award early in his career, there has been no holding this dj back.

Murray has spread his talent with guest spots all over the world, playing in some major cities such as New York, San Francisco, Los Angeles, Denver, Chicago, Seattle, Las Vegas, Portland, San Diego, Barcelona, Lisbon, Prague, Moscow, Johannesburg, Capetown, Munich, Warsaw, Bogota, Madrid, Paris, Stuttgart, Verona, Porto, Copenhagen, Ibiza, Brussels, Belgrade, Goa, Tiblisi, Tokyo, Bangkok, Buenos Aires, Rio De Janeiro, Sao Paulo, Belo Horizonte, Asuncion, Malmo, Helsinki, Zagreb, Budapest, Lima, Antwerp, Ghent, Pisa, Sydney and Melbourne, to name just a few.

Close to Murray’s heart is his own night,“Rebel Waltz”, which became a major part of the British deep house scene and helped him become an integral part of the British deep house sound. The night has held residencies in Edinburgh, Nottingham, Barcelona, London and Sao Paulo and the night has toured as far and wide as the UK, Europe, Asia and South America. Rebel Waltz was also recorded live for DJ Magazine and released as a covermount cd along with the publication.

As with any good DJ, he possesses superb technical ability and a hunger for new sounds. What really sets him apart from other djs is his ability to remain part of the vibe and place himself on the dancefloor with his crowd, which is no surprise as that’s exactly where you will find him if he's not on the decks himself - this is no moody DJ. When you watch him play you know he loves what he's doing.

Originally recording as “H.O.W.Project”. for "Finiflex" records,the first release, "Listen Carefully", marked the start of his collaboration with John Vick [A Finiflex Production].

Murray’s debut solo recording was picked up by Clive Henry and Rocky’s London based label “Low Pressings”, with the track getting a full international release. “We Came In Peace” by “Spacejunk” kick started his solo production career and Murray has gone on to work with some of house music's best labels including "20:20 Vision", "Low Pressings", "Creative", "Nordic Trax", "D.Press Industries", "Deepbass", "Magnitude", "Strawberry Blonde", "Deepxperience", "Sensei", "Baker Street" and "Piston Recordings". Murray also compiled his first mix compilation cd entitled "House Of ill Repute" which was released on the internationally known “Slip N Slide / Kickin” records. This year Murray will be releasing remix projects for Seattle's "Tilted Recordings" and both "Acid Culture" and "Ozone Recordings" from the UK.

Having spent years based in Edinburgh in Scotland, Barcelona in Spain, Sao Paulo in Brazil and Lisbon in Portugal, Murray continues to dj all over the world ...
