Oh So Cold EP

Meda Fury present "Oh So Cold EP" by Lady Blacktronika due for release on the 14th August 2015. San Jose native (now Berlin based) Lady Blacktronika AKA Akua Marcelle Grant is the latest edition to the Meda Fury family - described by Resident Advisor as "The First Lady of deep house", her slow but steady rise has resulted from a slew of smoky, Beatdown inflected workouts, topped with her sultry vocals, and infused with a sense of her personal struggles and hardships. 'Oh So Cold' opens the release with a pulsing rhythm track, powerful oozing bass and tripped out vocals and synth lines, 'Closer Look' kicks up proceedings in a celebratory summer mood, plagent Fender Rhodes chords over a heavy 909 kick, vocal chants and the catchiest of 80's keytar riffs. 'Trim The Breaks' picks up the pace with a rolling bass figure, relentless pad and frenetic military percussion, while 'Akua's Heart' takes the listener on a lysergic overload - complex layers of tribal percussion and seductive intonations. Digital bonus track 'Only Just Myself To Blame' is a classic deep house roller - repitched chords, bumping rhythms and melancholic vocals working to timeless effect. As Meda Fury founder / A&R Nick Williams explains " Akua has a unique sound, resolutely her, her personality and lifestyle defined - the illicit, late night sound of the clubbing subculture. At its best, to me her music is a release from the daily grind, heartache and hardships and we all face.
