Out now on Nerve Recordings!

With a reputation already firmly in place as one of Scotland's finest drum n bass producers, Morphy delivers his debut EP for Nerve Recordings in the shape of "The Dubtopia EP".

With previous releases on Nerve including "Samsara" on Nerve23 and featuring heavily on the "Intercity EP", we thought it was time for Morphy to show us what he could do over the space of a full solo release. As usual, quality is delivered without compromise - from the hard edged dancefloor rocker that is "Hermies" via the dubby darkness of "Version" to the smokey dub vibes of "Warren Dub" and finishing up with another track sure to fill the floor in "Samfie Man", this is an EP causing chaos dancefloors on worldwide whilst also lighting up the home listener's headphones.
