About Thugfucker's new release:

The Visionquest label draws their amazing preliminary year to a close with a spellbinding release from the dream team that is Tale of Us & Thugfucker AKA Life and Death. ‘Step Aside’ is a two track of stupendous sonic skulduggery.

The hottest label to come into inception this year, Visionquest has surprised, beguiled and enthralled us with some of the most celebrated releases from the most inciting artists and producers, in many cases making their debut on the label. Here we welcome back Tale of Us alongside cohorts Greg Oreck & Holmar Philipsson – Thugfucker as Life And death. Here they also rope in the vocal talents of Scott McCloud.

The A side ‘Step Aside (Lightweight)’ is a fantastic slice of laconic lazy house with growling, pulsing bass line gradually turning more and more analogue and acidic as the warm enigmatic omnipresent pads infuse Scott’s snarling dismissive vocals as he makes himself at home, in the USA! On the flipside and ‘Morgana’ is of equal stature. A darker, hallucinogenic journey, a jacking groove underpins the bubbling disengaged playful synth line that becomes more and more twisted and hallucinatory finally giving way to a volley of great disco fills.

Life and Death have recently remixed PillowTalk, No Regular Play and Gus Gus. The Tale of Us half of Life and Death are no strangers to Visionquest releasing the pivotal ‘Dark Song EP’ earlier this year and the anthemic ‘Winds of Change’. Thugfucker, have been producing music for many years on labels such as Brique Rouge, Music For Freaks, and their own Thugfucker Records, but most notably on the impeccable Italian based label Life And Death. This magical pairing has produced a worthy year-closing release for Visionquest. Both tracks are set to be remixed by Carl Craig and Jamie Jones for a release in the New Year.
