Relax EP vinyl

Despite sounding like a journeyman midfielder from the lower leagues of British football, Steve Murphy is in fact the alias of Venetian Mattia Effe, a key cog in the sprawling Italian hardware enthusiast scene alongside the Early Sounds and Restoration crew. First surfacing under the Steve Murphy & Co. guise with a Chiwax release in 2011, Effe has gone on to record an LP with compatriots Die Roh and launch the Muscle Records imprint alongside Analogue Copper Lucretio, Chevel, and DJ Octopus. Now he's the latest addition to the distinctively named Lobster Theremin, with his Relax EP likely to do anything but that to you! If you've gripped some Murphy previously you'll know to expect some rough and ready house music and look out for the "Tentacles Loop" locked grooves from DJ Octopus that line both sides!
