Italy born, UK based prolific producers M.F.S: Observatory return with more of their passionate and synth-heavy house tracks on the Smiley Fingers label.

Opener and title track ‘Belly of Biased Beats’ is a busy, bristling house cut with coarse hits and rumbling synths that will get hands in the air. ‘Amev’ is a tribal cut with big vocal chants and chunky tech drums designed to get outdoor crowds on side and shuffling along. ‘Cut Me’ then drops back into house territory with more big, bouncy drums and slapping hits as well as gospel vocal swirls and effects, keys and chords all adding to the sense of energy. Last of all, ‘Liv’ takes you deep into the night on surging techno, with serene chords layered up top and supple, dub kicks get you in the zone.

We aren’t new to M.F.S: Observatory (check out our last feature with the duo HERE), so we felt it was time to grab a quick chat with the Italian duo to learn more about what they’re all about.

Musicians since their early teenage years, M.F.S:Observatory first surfaced in 2010, with their inaugural releases arriving in 2012. Heavily influenced by the likes of Daft Punk, Maya Jane Coles, Four Tet, Butch and SantĂš, theirs is a wide-ranging sound – and as such it’s hardly surprising their music has been picked up by a wide range of discerning, eclectic and globally-respected labels. From Little Helpers to AlphaHouse to Flashmob Records to W&O Street tracks and Roush, they continue to win favour from some of the scene’s most influential outlets.

In 2016 the duo kicked off their own, appropriately-named Observatory Music imprint, a label that’s played host to some of their finest releases to date. The home for their letter series (whereby the boys release an EP dedicated to each letter of the alphabet), it’s seen them release a staggering amount of expertly-curated EPs, with a range of esteemed names throwing their support behind each release.
