Throughout 2015, I kept hearing the name Mura Masa pop up in discussion about exciting new artists worth keeping an eye and ear on.

His EP Someday Somewhere blew us away - and now, he's announced a small string of US tour dates, which will be co-headlined by Nao, who you may recognize as the UK vocalist on Mura Masa's gorgeous track "Firefly."

At only nineteen years old, Mura Masa, or Alex Crossman, has already begun to make a name for himself as one of the most interesting names to watch in the UK electronic music scene. Reportedly drawing influence from the like of Cashmere Cat, James Blake and Hudson Mohawke, its unsurprising that his tunes are as riveting as they are on-trend.

Dates below. head to the artist's Facebook page for more details.
