Description : “Search engine optimized from birth,” reads Umru’s Twitter bio. The Estonian-American producer has plenty of reasons to be at the top of your Google feed soon, beyond his unique name. After making waves turning Lido’s lively “Citi Bike” into a twisting, thundering bandit attack, Umru have played shows on both the West and East Coasts and released remixes for the likes of Y2K and Kid Froopy. To pigeonhole Umru into any genre, be it future bass, trap, or hip-hop, wouldn’t do his elusive sound design justice.
According to Umru, he worked closely with a team of “scientists, music therapists, and shamans” to create a package of sound “processed with analog hardware and the Skype audio codec algorithm.” That part about shamans and Skype may or may not be true, but the sound design is so otherworldly that it may as well be. If you’re looking for kick drums and heavy 808s, make sure the Umru package hits the top of your search results.
