Rising Slovakian electronic producer, musician and DJ, FVLCRVM, offers thought provoking, electronically charged soundscapes on his new EP, ‘Words, Loose, Meaning’ is out now via MOM I MADE IT an imprint of Universal Music. A multi-instrumentalist, having been brought up on a steady diet of gospel and soul as evident in his work, FVLCRVM draws on a myriad of influences from soul, R&B, house, grime and footwork to create a complex smogasbord of intelligent, well crafted pop with an air of uber-cool flourish. Listen to Meaning which is lifted from the EP via SoundCloud below.
He says: “I was asked by the unknown Japanese startup SHITEN to test their virtual reality media player 2 years ago among some other people. Being disconnected from reality to listen to music sounded like a neat idea so I thought it would be nice to make some songs and present it in a music video to help them spread the word. I had no idea they decided to sell an unapproved beta version of the device in a vending machine to gather more data. After the testing went wrong for all the participants including myself the company vanished and there’s no one to contact. Most of us experience random disconnections from reality even without the device on and this side-effect doesn’t seem to fade away.”
On the tipping edge between mainstream and underground, FVLCRVM’s music is a celebration of unpredictability. ADHD distorted club production meets mellow goosebump-inducing musicality with reinvented 90s sounds. Borrowing a name from a mad Russian jet fighter FVLCRVM found a form in evolution.
His previous releases drew accolades from the likes of DJ Mag, Earmilk and Complex Magazine; and landed him countless of shows around the globe with fellow luminaries like Hudson Mohawke, Just Blaze, Pomo, Tokimonsta, Falty DL and others. Currently ensconced in the studio recording material for another new EP due later this summer, FVLCRVM’s trajectory is most certainly on the rise.
