tear it up

Toronto/LA-based producer mxu creates hard-hitting yet soulful soundscapes which combine timeless Southern bounce with an unshakeable contemporary Toronto sound.

Known within the producer community for utilizing vintage machines (such as the E-mu SP1200, Akai S950 and MPC series, Ensoniq ASR10, and other storied and character-rich samplers), mxu crafts hip-hop beats that come to life at the musical crossroads of the North and the South.

In addition to his original solo music, mxu enjoys giving back to the producer community with video tutorials and insights documenting his technical and creative processes, and exploring collaborations with diverse and exciting new artists.
