“We monitor many frequencies. We listen always. Came a voice, out of the babel of tongues, speaking to us. It played us a mighty dub.”
—Neuromancer
The international duo of Fujako returns to Angstrom Records with Soul Buzz, a short but intense six-track salvo of earth shaking, gritty electronic music featuring DC's Black Saturn.
Uniting over a love of echo, bass and space, Jonathan Uliel Saldanha, from Portugal, and Nicolas Esterle, from Belgium via France, came together to form Fujako with a desire to make music of "unlooped hip hop and telluric dub from the geological strata." Exiling themselves to a remote mountainous area of central Portugal, Fujako re-emerged in 2009 with a debut album that crystallised their intent with a righteous sound and
fury. Soul Buzz, recorded between Porto and Brussels, continues their lifelong dedication to sonic alchemy with thundering bass, cavernous spaces and beat up rhythms combining to speak a mighty dub into the listener's bones.

“Soundboy gotta boo boo ?” —Raz Mesinai
Drawn Out Like an Ache is such a crisp, cool and deliscious tune and a whole meal of goodyness :D *burp*. Powerful album of soothing melancholy all the way, simply awesome. Pulse Daemon
This could make anyone feel like they're hacking into the mainframe. Grimy basslines mixed with punchy percussion and digital stuttering create the perfect cyberpunk fantasy album. It's a shame that the album is filled with 4 reiterations of the same concept. A good album that is worth the purchase nonetheless, or at least a listen. Deryn L.
For the darkness, for the ride.
I always liked Mick's work. From F.E.T.O. demo to these days with this stuff.
He's a very creative artist. mauricioreyna
