Kiku Premieres HIDD3N HAND's "Solid Ground"
Our friends at Kiku Music premiered HIDD3N HAND's "Solid Ground" from our upcoming vinyl compilation, Unrivaled Groove. Hit the link below to listen and don't forget to swing through the vinyl release party on August 14 at The Fruit - Durham Fruit & Produce Co!
HIDD3N HAND are a staple of our label and we couldn't be more stoked to display another aspect of their style. This anonymous collective produces everything from nostalgic house bangers to moody, downtempo 2-step, and their unique sound only keeps evolving. "Solid Ground" has a distinct, 90s vibe, with expertly executed vocals and one seriously satisfying, crunch of a snare. As the first track we selected to be a part of this compilation, it's especially close to our hearts and we're happy y'all finally get to listen.

Our friends at Moskalus premiered Whenuknow's "Howard" from the upcoming Unrivaled Groove compilation. This punchy NUKG track is like a glass of ice water on these hot days. Also look out for tickets to the upcoming Unrivaled Groove vinyl release party on August 14, featuring Dan Miles, Whenuknow, & Kir.
Whenuknow's emotional connection to music has always been strong, and his tracks are a method of experimenting with and further understanding this connection. While he's been producing for long enough to have delved in several subgenres of underground electronic music, his specialty is bouncy -- yet punchy -- Electro House. Originally from Panama, Whenuknow currently resides in Charlotte, NC
INCOMING! Special thanks to the iconic VSVN for premiering "Axis" by OH-based Dan Miles. You can stream the exclusive YouTube premiere and preorder the limited edition vinyl now.
Dan Miles is an eclectic and passionate producer, specializing in everything from left field club music to moody house, techno and beyond. It's easy to hear these different influences in "Axis," and the track itself embodies a deeper, darker garage sound that harkens back to early dub and UK dubstep. One of the moodier tracks on Unrivaled Groove, "Axis" has the power of immediately transporting you to a different, powerful, and very welcomed headspace.
In addition to DJing and producing, Dan Miles is also the founder of Ohio-based party series Body Heat.
Lewis Aung "Aarai"
Another round of cheers for Enchanted Rhythms for premiering Lewis Aung's "Aarai," dropping Friday the 13th of August. You can listen now via the link below and pre-order the vinyl on Bandcamp. 😀
Lewis Aung has been making waves in the breaks scene, and this isn't even his only release with Maison Fauna this summer. Most recently, Aung busted out with "False Dilemma," a club-ready breaks track with elements of jungle & garage. "Aarai" feels more like an ode to gritty, skateboard-time, melodic, I-made-this-on-an-MPC style of breakbeat that you'd put on during a night drive just as quickly as you'd put it on at a rave. And that's not all. Aung is also a cohost of "Between the Breaks," a Bristol-based radio show specializing in Breakbeat, Electro & Techno. Aung is one of 10 voices on our upcoming Unrivaled Groove compilation, and we couldn't be more stoked to showcase his unique sound and perspective. Thanks again to ER and hit that link!!

Two Toke's 'Violets' is now live on all platforms, as well as the hypnotic music video produced by none other than the artist himself. Stream the track on Apple Music & Spotify and watch the music video premiere on our Youtube.
Two Toke is a Bristol-based artist who takes his memories and allows them to play a role in the storytelling of his music. He produces Breakbeat, Jungle and Intelligent Drum & Bass, and has developed his own ethereal, ambient style that combines the three in a dreamy new way. His first track with MF (and yes, there are more to come) is deeply imbued with the 90s style. All of Two Toke’s work -- but especially 'Violets' -- has this floaty quality that makes you feel wholly submerged in the the bluesy guitar and carefully-crafted, lazy, lush pads. There’s a sense of nostalgia, and even melancholia, in “Violets” that's emotive, invigorating, and a perfect tone for summer. Keep an eye out on this one, hint: especially in August.
Treee City's 'The Way' EP is now live on all platforms.
🌳 maisonfauna.fanlink.to/TreeeCity-TheWay
Pulling from themes such as “rave meta nostalgia” and “club as womb,” “The Way EP” is imbued with light, ambient and textural sound design juxtaposed with hard-hitting techno aggression. The Treee City touch is front and center on each song — arguably his most warehouse-ready collection of house and techno to date. The vibe is a nostalgic dive into 90s rave, a genre bending four-track collection that takes listeners on a journey back to clubland. Each track has undergone a unique journey since the first time we all had a chance to listen to it — from name changes to altered leads — to create the experience that Treee City wants you to have. And trust us, you want it.
"False Dilemma" by Lewis Aung is out everywhere next Friday, and this is one satisfying breaks track for welcoming the raves back.
Lewis Aung is a vibrant and passionate music producer and DJ based in Bristol, UK. As a bass guitarist with 13 years' worth of experience, he is adamant on translating his love of groove and rhythm into his music. His expressiveness is multi-faceted and will take you anywhere from the mellow realms of lofi to the explosive energy of UK dance music. Filled with gritty, snarling basslines, crunchy breaks, and effective chops, “False Dilemma” feels like the rebirth of an underground classic. Fragmented vocal stabs and scream-like synths fall effortlessly between each hit of the stark beat, and satisfyingly accent, ride, and bring home every break and drop. Goes well with summer and anything else you might think about doing 👌
Settle in to some seriously satisfying rave tunes with Treee City. This hard-hitting techno number is “Liquidity” from upcoming “The Way” EP, dropping everywhere in just two days!
