Maurice Fulton

Maurice Fulton came up in Baltimore's house scene, working around the Basement Boys production team. His records sound played rather than programmed: busy, slightly off-kilter percussion, rubbery bass and chords that wander away from where a dance track usually goes.

Beyond his own name and Boof, he records as Syclops and produced Mu, his project with Mutsumi Kanamori, whose shouted vocals over his wiry, jerky grooves made for some of his most abrasive work. He is also a sought-out remixer whose versions tend to rebuild a song almost entirely.
