Ticket Giveaway - DPC Presents: Edit Murphy

A little less than a year ago, Edit Murphy, was on our radar after hearing his track, "Mercy," on The C90s mixtape. Aside from having one of the best monikers for a DJ in the dance party world, Edit Murphy has a way of sampling RnB in a way that heats up dance floors to get people moving with his deep, soulful grooves.

It's no coincidence that a year after his first release, Edit Murphy is embarking on his "Brooklyn Nights" tour, starting in Miami and ending in San Francisco as his second EP, "Brooklyn Nights," off Smoke N' Mirrors hits the shelves on September 25. We were thrilled when we heard the news, and even more thrilled when we learned we would share the bill with the DJ/Producer himself in Baltimore, MD at the swanky night club, E-Villa (insert girly "OMG" scream here).

We'd love to see you at E-Villa this Friday, September 21. Music starts at 9pm, and Mr. Bonkerz, DJ Remote CTRL and William DeVon are warming up the decks and Edit Murphy goes on at 11:30pm for two hours of non-stop dance parties. If you're sitting there wondering what exactly the evening may have in store for you, please give his latest mix for Musicis4Lovers a listen. It's full of deep, sexy vibes with tracks from Nicholas, Urulu, Bicep & Odyssey.

Edit Murphy..Someone to watch out for!

Summer is over...but the barrage of hot mixes is not!

The C90's October Chart Mix brought some serious heat! There was a track in particular, Edit Murphy's "Mercy" that caught me off guard. It's a Deep Disco take on Marvin Gaye's "Mercy, Mercy Me", and it is done exceptionally well. I absolutely love the groovin' bassline, the funky twang of the guitar riff, the faint vocal harmonies, and the glitch effect added to the beat here and there, reminding you that this song has been contemporized. I had to rewind the mix a little to hear it again! Well after a bit of Soundcloud sleuthing, I came across Edit Murphy's page. Lucky for us, Edit Murphy has free EP available for download, entitled MoTown Edits Vol. 1:

Along with " Mercy", there is a super sexy House'd down take on Bill Wither's "Lovely Day" and another sexy RnB/Disco edit (not sure on the sample...you?)

"I Need More Please" was the feeling I was left with:

Well, Edit's got a Deep Disco/House mix (their first!) to hold us over until their upcoming release by way of Smoke N'Mirrors. One of tracks, "Brooklyn Lights" is included, so keep your ears open. This mix is deep and sexy, with massage oil slick mixing ;) Hopefully, this stuff is an indication of what's to come! Enjoy!
