Mura Masa drops double single “rise/gimme”

Mura Masa has shared two new tracks — “rise” and “gimme” — as a double singles. They arrived today (October 13), just hours before the Guernsey-born producer is scheduled to DJ at fabric London for the club’s 24th birthday. His next scheduled show, a Boiler Room set in Berlin, is just over a month away, on November 16.

The new songs share an irreverent spirit, despite starting from different premises. “rise” takes the preliminary form of a deep house number, replete with soaring vocals, before diving headfirst into techno filth about halfway through; whereas “gimme” starts in the mud and stays there, with Mura Masa splashing gleefully through the puddles of sub bass that flood its shifting rhythms.

“rise” and “gimme” is the latest additions to the string of singles — April’s “Whatever I Want,” June’s “Drugs,” and September’s “Love” (the latter two both feature Daniela Lalita and are essentially identical beyond their titular refrains) — that have followed Mura Masa’s 2022 full-length, demon time. Hear his conversation with David Renshaw about that project on The FADER Interview.
