Fans of funky fish and fine delicacies have yet another haul to look forward to this May with the release of the Funkadelicasy EP titled Metaphysical. This fine catch is no “stunned mullet” and you can expect the extended play to bring things back to where it all started for fishy trippers.
Ranging from 150 – 160 BPM, the Metaphysical EP release is a testament to all things Hi-tech, Full on and darkpsy. Daniel Cieslak has done a great job and we look forward to being able to offer this collection of ”funk and chunk” for free via the ektoplazm distribution platform @
Fish ‘n Trips Feature artist in April – May is non other than our latest catch SPUNJE. Land his new EP by visiting beatport today or consider buying directly via bandcamp where this stunning new act is emerging as a tour de force on the international circuit.
Expertly crafted tracks and production combine with ethnic influenced tones and big bass to crete an original and somewhat challenging 4 tracker. Having been with the label just a short time our feeling is this classic title will remain a strong collectors title from the current schedule and bring to dance floors an earthy, electro, IDM drum ’n bass mashup of psychedelia. Designed with masterful intelligence and confident production skill, Anu is an EP for fishy enthusiasts just as much as those looking for strong bridging tracks and crossover DJ material.
