Bio: Professor Murder are four friends who like music. They like weird music and pop music, old music and new music, music made with computers and ... (more) music made by hitting things. They like listening to the radio, reading about music, watching videos, going to shows, and downloading mp3s. They like music from a variety of different countries. They also like art and comedy and technology and books and sports and friends and interesting ideas and parties.
They especially like when all this stuff gets mixed up, so they started making songs together. They didn’t care much about musicianship or being a proper band. They wanted to have fun and try new things and make cool beats and put their drop into the big weird bucket they liked so much. They debuted this vibe on 2006’s Professor Murder Rides the Subway EP (Kanine),
The band followed up Rides The Subway with a series of collaborations and projects that reflect the way they like to listen to music as much as how they like to make it. In late 2006, they recorded a collection of instrumental tracks and loops for DJ duo Caps and Jones to use as fodder in their distinctive remixes. The resulting collaboration was the Robbery at the Jam Sesh mixtape, released free onto the internet in the spring of 2007. In the fall of 2007, they released the dance 12” Dutch Hex ,with a remix by Trey Told ‘Em, inaugurating the Brothers Label, an avant dance imprint run by the band’s producers The Brothers (!!!, Telepathe, Free Blood). Fall of ’07 also marked the release of the dancehall production duo South Rakkas Crew’s The Mix-Up EP (Mad Decent Records), which featured Professor Murder together with Jamaican crooner Sandy Smith on the track “Hot Patty.”
Now Professor Murder offer up another EP of their very own , Professor Murder on a Desert Island via RCRD LBL. The EP, which features artwork by the band’s frequent visual collaborator, illustrator Stephen Olson, finds Professor Murder sounding sort of the same and sort of different, but much much better. Three bangers that attempt to connect the dots between NYC in’77, Jamaica in ’85, The East Bay in ‘89, Suburban America in '95, Trinidad in ’03 and Atlanta in ’06.
For fans of: Avail, Swizz Beats, Hot Chip, drum and bass (the instruments). (less)

This is the cave/club we played in Bergen, home of black metal. When Mayhem played there, they had 2 bull heads on their rider. A student volunteer had to be dispatched to buy them from a butcher.

This is the middle of a large street in Bergen, where they've placed this basketball court. Poor urban planning, perhaps, but it really blows your mind at 3 in the morning.
