Bruise - Presentation EP

Meda Fury is so gassed to welcome Silvestre back for a virtual hug and a 5 track EP of new jams and remix fire! The Lisbon boy done good has been enjoying some well earned praise for his last few releases - his '...is boss EP' on Secretsundaze, 'Girar' on Diskotopia, and 'Yeah' via yours truly. Gigs in Amsterdam, Bristol, Porto, London and Lisbon followed - including his debut on Boiler Room. For this new EP we are served 3 brand new Silvestre tracks and 2 huge remixes from one of the most respected labels in Lisbon -  Príncipe!  'Todos Bem' starts as an organ led scratch-fest, with a tight auto-tune vocal from Silvestre himself, before mutating into an anthemic/hedonistic 303 acid and whistle banger! This euphoric string-laden track equally at home in Ibiza or Notting Hill Carnival! 'Paga O Que Deves' is up next; Joao's love of grime and UK bass culture is evident from the drop, twisted synths and breaks recall everyone from Eastman to Roll Deep. On the flip we find serious remix pressure from Silvestre's friends and contemporaries - the Lisbon crew of Príncipe! DJ Firmeza is up first, pushing the tempo way up on 'Yeah', turning it into a banging kuduro rave monster, propulsive batida drums upping the temperature. DJ Lilocox follows with an intense remix of 'Demónios Na Cabeça', converting it into a percussive trancey big-room bomb. Layers of mixed afro/gqom drums follow a strict samba-like rhythm forcing hands and possibly the ceiling higher.

ALL TRACKS EXCLUSIVE TO THIS COMPILATION

We started to compile ‘The Many’ compilation after June 2020, in the wake of horrific world events in May - the murder of George Floyd. 
Our idea was to find worthy things we can do for others. 
Realising that what happened to George and many others transpired in 2020. This has been persisting at the hands of authorities for so many decades and longer, Rodney King, Breonna Taylor, Stephen Lawrence, Mark Duggan. It’s disgusting.

We want to use our privilege and platform, the label, to do some good
100% of revenue from this compilation will be split equally to the following 4 charities: 
Amnesty International

Since the release of his debut works in 2011,RYOTA OPP has presented new creativity within the rise of a new worldwide generation of
Disco/ House culture and the Japanese Club scene.This time round he offers a richer musical expression,and challenges
notions of new balearic/electronic composition. Widening its value for contemporary listeners.
"Esoterica"s concept and theme combines historical movements of early club music and old primitive music. Inspired by
Eastern European art,but also reaching within various roots music,Asian,African,and South American. The artist's personal nostalgia and travel memories are embedded throughout,expressing the emotional richness that everyday dance music is often devoid of. Psychedelic,private,an unnamed journey,old but new,a snapshot intime. To colour this mind-movement,the first song features
Go Max Goda (aka Kaeko Kimura)known well in the Japanese underground scene,
playing synthesizer in various bands.Astringency,features Nicolas Jorio,guitarist of the French band La Chatte,creates sorrowful

【RYOTA OPP (Meda Fury / R&S)】
Ryota Arai a.k.a Ryota OPP is from Tokushima Prefecture in Japan. He started his career as a DJ and event organiser in 1999,
then moved to Tokyo to further pursue his musical journey,and to gain more experience.
Ryota has never sat still when it comes to working in music. From being a highly respected buyer for a record shop, remixing artists and producing his own tracks, being behind the decks at a club or on radio, he enjoys it all. He became a buyer in 2008
at the Coconuts Disk record shop in Ekoda, Tokyo,a favourite amongst collectors and DJ’s, he was trusted for his wide taste and multi-genre knowledge.
His first release was on a mix-cd called ‘Garakuta’, including many styles from afrobeat to new wave, cold funk or dub .
This widescreen approach made him a hit in the Japanese underground scene.
His first self-produced album was released in 2011 from his own label‘Future Life’.
In 2015 his first 12inch ‘Future Life EP’ was signed to the UK experimental-house label Meda Fury after a chance encounter with
the owner. Since then Meda Fury put his debut LP‘Pale Lux’out at the end of 2016.
The following year Ryota presented a soothing selection of Japanese classical music by Toru Takemistu, put together for The Vinyl Factory’s respected online magazine.
Also in 2017 he remixed a track for label mate Pletnev's ‘St. Bones EP’. Released by the Italian label ‘Les Temps Perdu’ it was played by domestic and foreign DJs.
In early 2018,he went on a European tour of Berlin,London and Paris.
He featured as a special guest African Acid Is The Future in Berlin - going down a storm with his multi-genre/bpm set.
Later he established the reissue label ‘Time Capsule’ with friends
in London. The first release came in September, curating a masterpiece album ‘Oasis’ from 1978
by Federico Mon Arduini aka Il Guardiano Del Faro - a pioneer of Italian electronic music.
Now in fall 2019 he is about to release his second album,challenging the definition of club music through composition,
whilst incorporating experimental and meditation/wellness sounds - it’s titled ‘Esoterica’.

Meda Fury welcome OL from Moscow, Russia. Following many varied contributions for labels such as Faces, Fine Grains, Phonica and Capital Bass. 
Lum Edit barges in sirens blaring, banging out machine like kick, hats and toms. The heaviest raw funk bassline is unleashed, and lumbers amongst Rap TV show samples and gunshots. Industrial gangster house. 
Around has a broken, jazzy Detroit feel. Sparing R&B vocal samples and afrocentric percussion ride the wah-wah and heavy bass guitar. 
Rimms comes straight out of leftfield, cutting edge drum machines rubbing up against Baltic art-rock samples. Its a strange claustrophobic affair with ghostly vocals. East European dancefloor paranoia. 
Myxa breaks the tension wide open, building a coiled spring of whistle-like riffs. R&B vocal snippets hype it up further before snapping and spilling its own elastic sub-bass. Fine feelgood ghetto-house action. 
Podumay's glitchy raw drums stomp forward towards all kinds of unknown sci-fi sounds and Kraut synth backgrounds. The contrast is a Detroit soul bassline and house percussion. 
Melt Down brings the tempo and mood way down to a mysterious close. The echoing sound of water and eerie isolationist synth washes recalling BOC. The beat is straight current-day Hip-Hop, tight snares rolling over dangerously low Miami-strength bass. Game over.

Meda Fury presents the debut release of Malmö’s Armand Jakobsson AKA Rimbaudian. Taking his name from the modernist poet, Jakobson’s music is a beguiling mixture of thumping house, tripped out rhythmic excursions and blissed out, lattice-like synth melodies.

Jacking basement sleaze is the order of the day with opener ‘Let Me Beat U’, coming on like a vintage Trelik cut, 'Werka 8’ lightens up proceedings with a stomping beat and carefree spiralling synths that shimmer with light, ‘Holy Flesh’ boasts a ghetto drum track and dizzying flute-synth refrain sure to work dancers into a frenzy, things cool down with the mysterious, glacial pads and tuff bass pulse of ‘Hold Up Hold On’.

From a family of musicians (his father is opera singer, mother a music teacher, sister is a cellist and opera singer), he grew up surrounded with music, but stubbornly rejected formal study, teaching himself composition and production whilst at university in Edinburgh.

"I was there for 4 years, and it probably had a bigger impact on me than Malmö - It’s such a moody city, and having been a too sensitive young guy there for such a long time definitely left its traces. I can’t say how, exactly, it affected me, but i like to think of my musical career in terms of chapters, and that was the first and probably most significant one, up until now."

"Yo, how are u all? DJ Seinfeld here. Glad you’re looking at my first record ever! It’s a bit strange innit tho? You’re probably in some record shop somewhere, looking all smart and wondering whether this record is anything special. Well it is. The story of them is that I made all of these in one day, somewhere around early spring this year when my first love left me. These tracks were pressed and then the original files were destroyed, and like my relationship I had to move on, even though it’s hard u know? I still don’t know how, but I’m trying. All I do know is that I want to live life as uncompromisingly as Kramer does, the way he throws himself without fear into the next adventure. This EP marks the first out of a limited collection dedicated to all those who felt this heartbreak at some point in their life, or who are about to. It’s hard but I’m here if you need to talk. 
Oneluv, DJ Seinfeld"

Phonica Premiere: Silvestre - New Car [MEDA FURY]

Walking through the city there was little which made him smile, noisy traffic roared past and the sound of sirens filled the air as the steam billowed from the drains by the sidewalk. This was what life in the big smoke was supposed to be, hectic, hazy and horrid. It wasn't a happy place but a frightening maze built up of robust concrete, iron and glass. Bars played music loudly out into the open night air as some danced in shiny windows - at least they looked happy. He sat at the bus stop and waited for his number to roll up - on the wall opposite somebody had painted some graffiti. "Life's Good" it read...

Perhaps, he smiled. 

Silvestre is a producer very much in demand at the moment with a number of releases popping off on the likes of Padre Himalaya, Secretsundaze and Diskotopia. This is his latest, a drawn out affair with power and punch for Meda Fury.

Silvestre - Night Bus (Clip)

There were a lot of onlookers who looked down from the floating clouds up above. Jagged angels they were called, for they might be as likely to cut you as they would save you on any given day. Soaring amidst the blue skies they were a pearly white and glimmered in the glow of the radiant sunlight which beamed down upon earth from up above. Some had always felt that they might like to dance and fly amongst the clouds, a new life accompanied by angels and ghosts. For him, he was simply happy down here on earth. 

Bruise are set to release a new EP on Meda Fury, a duo made up of Christian Campbell (Sona Vabos) and Darren House aka Diesel (Xpress-2, Ballistic Brothers). This one is an ode to Detroit of sorts, drawing upon dusty influences from the glory days of house and techno.

Presentation EP

PREMIERE: Bruise - Jagged Angels [Meda Fury]

Bruise is the brand new musical project of Christian Campbell (Sona Vabos) and Darren House aka Diesel (Xpress-2, Ballistic Brothers). Born out of a shared love of the Motor City and all things deep, dusty and electronic, Bruise aims to present a broad palette of stirring electronic soul.

We feature 'Portrait', a rolling dusty tip that meanders calmly between sonic structures - melodically gliding on the surface of a familiar electro step, flaunting a combination of space-age motifs and jazz-tinted flair.  This cut rounds off another fantastic EP from Meda Fury, once again introducing a future familiar name to the sphere.

Bruise, the new duo consisting of British underground upstart Sona Vabos and 90’s UK House stalwart Diesel (of X-Press 2 fame), are on a mission with their sprawling, ecstatic debut, Presentation EP. Despite occupying different niches and career points in the ever-shifting landscape of underground UK electronic music, these two clearly share an affinity in their approach to music-making; no-punches-pulled, unadulterated, classic-House indebted dance-floor igniters. 
	Case-in-point: the first track off the B-side of Presentation, “Grand Hi.” After the explosive, choir-vocals-infused A-side opener, “Jagged Angel,” and the more subdued, yet pummeling dub-techno of follow-up, “Dark Sun”, “Grand Hi’s” opening disco piano chords feel like a warm ray of sunlight bursting through the grimy clouds. What’s so remarkable about this track is how it incorporates many of the elements so commonly found in early-90s Detroit or Chicago House, and yet makes it into something other than just pure revisionism, something wholly exciting and expansive. The key here lies in the simplicity of the structure and the attention paid to each arrangement. As the piano undergirds the whole track, Bruise seamlessly introduce more and more elements, including, most notably, a Nile Rodgers-esque guitar line, swelling orchestral strings, and, of course, those crisp hi-hats that simply beg dancers to clap along while being swept away amongst the rushes of euphoria.
	With this track, the duo seems to have tapped into the essence of what makes house music so timeless. There’s not a single detail that feels out of place here, yet there is no fussiness or overwrought tinkering either. This speaks to the kinetic chemistry of the collaboration itself and the meeting of two minds on the same tireless, party-starting wavelength.

Bruise - Wildflower [digi only] (Clip)

Lisbonian, Silvestre returns to his sonic home-from-home Meda Fury for another fantastic five tracker; three originals from the man himself and two huge remixes from one of the most respected labels in Lisbon - Príncipe.

We premiere the first on the front; 'Todos Bem', which literally translates as 'All Good' in Portuguese. Whether the title doubles up as an incredibly modest description of the track or perhaps Silvestre's humble nod of approval towards his own work, it needs to be said that our assessment of this cut and the album as a whole is perhaps a little more enthusiastic. Tudos Bem, starts as an organ-led scratch-fest, with a tight auto-tune vocal from Silvestre himself, before mutating into an anthemic/hedonistic 303 acid and whistle banger. This euphoric string-laden track provides a morish listen, equally suitable for home or a dusty distant dancefloor.

On the flip we find serious remix pressure from Silvestre's friends and contemporaries - the Lisbon crew of Príncipe! DJ Firmeza is up first, pushing the tempo way up on 'Yeah', turning it into a banging kuduro rave monster, propulsive batida drums upping the temperature. DJ Lilocox follows with an intense remix of 'Demónios Na Cabeça', converting it into a percussive trancey big-room track. Layers of mixed afro/gqom drums follow a strict samba-like rhythm forcing hands and possibly the ceiling higher.
