MAFRO makes emotional electronic music that swings between melancholy and euphoria, inviting the listener in, and putting them at the centre of the story. The North London artist has flourished as one of the UK's most promising new talents since the launch of his debut EP, Bloom, in 2023. He has been recognised as "dance music's upcoming breakthrough act" in NME's Top 100, and collaborated with the likes of Aluna, TSHA and Diplo on the latter’s recent Grammy-nominated album. Drawing influence from crossover pioneers like SBTRKT, Jai Paul, and Jacques Greene, MAFRO delivers a woozy, free-flowing approach to melody, juxtaposed with impactful lyrics that generate space for tension and release. This is electronic music, but rather than being rooted deep in the club, it’s drifting on its vapours. MAFRO’s singles ‘Love Me’ and ‘Bad Enough’ were released this year ahead of his forthcoming Higher EP, set for release in early 2024.
