Izu, known to his parents as Ronnie MacPherson, was brought up on the remote Hebridean island of South Uist, a galaxy away from the darkened clubs and smoggy streets of his current hometown Glasgow. The Izu sound can be traced through his early love of Black Dog, the Orb, FSOL and early 90s rave, filtered through more recent obsessions with Shadetek, Lusine, Dabrye and the burgeoning Glasgow electronic scene.

Izu weds shiny melodics with filthy beats to create ill-informed, shortly-lived yet crunchily passionate marriages of noise. Big in Sweden, apparently.

His initial release was a split 12" on Glasgow’s Stuff Records, he has had compilation appearances on the Marcia Blaine School For Girls curated collection of Scottish electronica, Some Paths Lead Back Again, and mostly recently appeared on Radio One's One World Burns Night Special, alongside the likes of Belle & Sebastian, Delgados, Marcia Blaine School For Girls, Sluts Of Trust, and Camera Obscura.
