Smallville Record sub-label Fuck Reality returns in March 2024 with Fossar’s ‘Make Me Feel’ EP.

The Fuck Reality imprint founds it origins in 2015 as a sub label of the widely lauded Smallville label with a heavy focus on classic House music. The label kicked off with the reissue of Westbam and Nena’s iconic ‘Oldschool Baby’ with remixes from Smallpeople and Gerd Janson before going on to release music from Smallville staple Moomin, Frantzvaag – who also release the first album on the label last year - and more. Here the label welcomes Fossar, co-founder of the Feuilleton imprint, onto the imprint with his new EP.
‘Good 2 Me’ opens with airy chords, robust toms, flickers of resonant synth stabs and soulful vocals running atop snappy drums before ‘Free’ embraces a classic 90’s New York aesthetic with heavily swung percussion a jazzy bass groove, emotive piano lines and warm vocal chants.
The B-side is then kicked off with ‘Make Me Feel’, diving deep with shimmering, expansive leads, looped vocal, swirling string melodies and a classic bumpy bass and snare combination. The ‘Aeriel (Windy City Version)’ then rounds things out, as the name would suggest nodding to the Chicagoan roots of House and employing all the classic tropes from slick flutes, intertwined keys, glistening piano melodies and shuffled 909 drums.

Release Info:
Well, who would have thought: Fuck Reality seems common sense out on this world in the year 2022. And so the Smallville-offshoot comes along with the very first album ever- we are happy to present the debut longplayer from Frantzvaag, hailing from Oslo, Norway. The album comes with a full cover by Stefan Marx and the first edition includes a special 60x60 cm poster!

Electronic Dance music, particularly House and Disco have a huge history in Norway and there are various producers, that have made themselves a name worldwide. Mats Frantzvaag is one of the fresh face of the local house-scene, after 12“ releases on Fuck Reality and Full Pupp, he finally presents his own vision in full-length. Always with a fresh beat, 'Solo Super' paves its way with reduced-but-euphoric house, breaky feels, trancy pops and twinkling outta-this-world-moments, smoothly blent together into a colourful entire.

Love from Smallville - stay positive – Fuck Reality!
