- A. Fruit (YUKU, Cosmic Bridge / Barcelona, ES)

@annafruit

Anna Fruit is an explorer of the universe of sounds and the relationships between music and people. A.Fruit’s music reflects her inner world and her emotional interactions with the outer world. She has been addicted to bass music production since starting over 10 years ago and now works as a professional sound designer and audio engineer, working to create sounds of the highest quality.
Anna Fruit was born in 1989 in Moscow, Russia (USSR at the time) into a Ukrainian family and is now based in Barcelona, Spain. Her passion for music began in childhood; at school, she played the guitar and sang her own songs to friends. In 2008, while studying sociology at Moscow State University, she discovered Ableton Live, and it changed her life. She started making music and decided to get a second education as a sound engineer to improve her craft. In 2012, Anna graduated from the university and simultaneously completed her certificate in audio engineering. Then, for some years, she worked as a sound technician on TV channels, in parallel with continuing to produce electronic music. A.Fruit found her 160 bpm-focused sound somewhere in between her longtime loves of drum n bass, jungle, hip-hop, and especially footwork. Her professional music career began in 2015; since then, A.Fruit has released six EPs (two of them on vinyl) and more than 30 original tracks and remixes on compilations worldwide. Her music has also appeared on labels including Med School and Hospital Records, Teklife, Hyperboloid, Worst Behavior Records, and more. Outside of her own music, A.Fruit creates sound effects and music of other genres for PC games (Gremlins, Inc., Skyforge, Pathfinder: Kingmaker, and others) and provides digital mastering for such labels as Hyperboloid (RU), Black Marble Collective (US), Pure Spark Records (JP), and others. Since 2023, Anna has also run her own YouTube channel with educational content about music production. On tours, Anna explores the world and people, delivering DJ sets that delight with a mixture of various bpm music, from footwork and jungle to dubstep, future beats, and halftime.

Lyra Valenza is the project of Jens Konrad Barrett and Hjalte Lehmann, who've been putting out music since 2017. Having explored a variety of different styles and aesthetics over the years, they have since established themselves as a unique act in the contemporary electronic scene due to their singular and catchy blend of genres such as jungle, trance and techno – distilled into their very own sound. That Lyra Valenza’s sound is truly special is also evident from the recognition they’ve received from a diverse field of other acclaimed artists. Through the years, they’ve been supported by the likes of Caroline Polachek, Bill Kouligas, Courtesy and Rroxymore, who have played their music on different occasions. Their releases and high-energy live performances have also resulted in them being selected for the prestigious SHAPE Platform in 2020 as well as gaining them an ongoing residency at LYL Radio with their own label, Petrola 80. In addition to their radio show at LYL, they’ve also made mixes for, among others, Resident Advisor, NTS Radio, Rinse FM and Inverted Audio.

2023 saw the release of their long-awaited debut album, Low Gear No Pressure, which was released on Petrola 80, after having put out music on compilations through internationally acclaimed labels such as Courtesy's imprint Kulør, Opal Tapes and Posh Isolation. The album is a culmination of the many musical aesthetics on their previous releases and shows the group’s ability to create both energetic and addictive bangers as well as more laidback club tracks, always with a clear understanding of the synergy between the different compositions. Lyra Valenza is currently working on an ambitious international project, which is to be announced in late 2023, as well as two new releases. The duo is available for both DJ- and live-sets in 2024.
