Italian electro trio Fuera release ‘Mariposa’

Fuera are a special act likely to become a big part of your life once you venture into their realm, coined by labels like Warp as IDM (Intelligent Dance Music) in contrast to the wider used EDM, 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 rest of Europe and the wider world beckons, and like butterflies reborn from the chrysalis with new life and new form, ‘Mariposa’ is the manifesto of Fuera’s new stylistic code in which experimental electronics, IDM and Ambient atmospheres mix with a catchy topline to tell their evolution.
An intro generated by an artificial intelligence tells this cry of luminous, unique catharsis, to always be “brillos radiantes en el jardín de la vida que nos espera”, which translates as “radiant sparkles in the garden of the life that awaits us.” From an unknown Spanish poem which conjures the feelings a Fuera show can bring, or just a drive in the country listening to their music. We’re not sure of their secret, but we’re definitely hooked.

Naud Takes Flight with ‘Un Gars Bian’: A Wild Ride of Music & Madness

After ten years of musical mischief, Naud has finally dropped anchor, or rather taken flight, with Un Gars Bian, an album that feels like a hug from an old friend and an impromptu dance party all at once. This high-energy, genre-mashing adventure blends alternative pop, electro, funk, and whatever else Naud felt like throwing into the mix. Think Marseille’s “joyous chaos” bottled up into soundwaves, bursting with playful unpredictability.
Leading things off is “Déjà Vu,” a sweet-and-sour love song about a romance that spanned across Europe but never quite took off, kind of like booking a first-class ticket to heartbreak. It’s got just the right mix of experimental vibes and catchy pop magic to make you groove while overthinking your past relationships.
The album title, Un Gars Bian, is a cheeky play on words, merging Marseille (city in France) slang for “seagull” (gabian) with “un gars bien” (a nice guy). It’s basically Naud in a nutshell: a free-spirited, big-hearted artist who wants to spread good vibes, reckless creativity, and a touch of joyful madness. And if that wasn’t enough, he’s also launched an Un Gars Bian t-shirt line, because what’s better than wearing your philosophy on your sleeve, literally? Grab yours here!
So, are you ready to embrace the joyful chaos? Un Gars Bian is the perfect excuse to dance like nobody’s watching and live life with a little more mischief. Let’s gooo!
