Following the release of their infectious new IDM banger ‘Mariposa’ which gained attention from the likes of Wonderland, METAL Magazine and Radio X’s John Kennedy amongst others, Italian trio Fuera have now dropped a hypnotic live session for the track via the C41 One Stream Live Channel.

If you’ve not heard them already, Fuera are a special act who likely to become a big part of your life once you venture into their realm. These three friends from Naples have been building something like a phenomenon across the entire boot of Italy bringing their unique fusion of rap, techno, and psychedelic punk aesthetics into explosive live shows across the peninsula, leaving clubbers, festival goers and everyone who sees or hears them pledging allegiance and not being quite the same ever again. As if an awakening has taken place. It feels like a cross between Fat White Family, Beastie Boys and The Prodigy all in their prime but with some of the most inspirational and intelligent productions not seen since early Aphex Twin.

The new C41 One Stream Live Channel session of ‘Mariposa’ sees Fuera shrouded in a thick gloss of darkness as glitchy visuals and intriguing scenes invade the screen, in amongst the trio’s high energy performance of the track. Far more than your usual live session, the video feels more like a work of art to accompany the single.
