Monrroe (Elijah Symons) is still a fairly fresh face in the Drum & Bass scene but has been making an impact from the start with his instantly recognisable melodic and soulful sound, a sound that manages to combine a very organic & human feel with the high intense energy of Drum & Bass.
Growing up in the remote village of Stanway in the West Country, not only does he sound like one of the locals off of Hot Fuzz, but years spent on site as a traveller led to him being surrounded in the blissful sounds of 90s jungle and acid house by his mum, who Elijah considers to be a certified junglist – regularly attending shows, listening to his music and encouraging him to play some of the more gully ends of the spectrum.
Big up Mrs Symons. However, it was listening to Logistics’ City Life for the first time that made Elijah realise his love for liquid drum and bass. Starting his Monrroe production venture in 2013, Elijah is still a relatively fresh face in the scene, but one that is quickly developing into a rising star. Despite still studying for a degree in Music Technology, he has already caught the attention of various industry figureheads with his atmospheric and eerily beautiful productions.
