RED MESS + MAGUA
RED MESS
formed in 2013 in Londrina, Brazil, and now based in Berlin, Germany, the trio has Thiago Franzim (guitar), Douglas Labigalini (drums) and Lucas Klepa (bassist and vocalist) in their line-up. Its creation dates back to the childhood of members Thiago and Douglas, who, in 2013, after the entry of Lucas Klepa, established once and for all what is now the Red Mess: a deep crooked experience with high volumes that somehow express and represent some sort of anger within. Back in their hometown, Londrina, Red Mess music has its roots in powerful live performances and it is an important aspect of the band nowadays. This type of experience has always shaped the phonographic approach of the studio's productions of the band, trying to capture the energy of the live concerts.
MAGUA
Started in 2007 as a trio, Ukraine’s MAGUA have earned a reputation in their home country for a bizarre yet exciting mix of breakbeat, punk, electronic, hardcore, grunge, folk, and funk. In 2016, they released their debut album AGATA and their style and sound has been evolving ever since. In 2018, it became a solo project, but that didn’t stop Magua from continuing to blaze a trail in the Ukrainian music scene. Today, we’re debuting the video for Magua’s latest single, “Laser.” With a frenetic bass, aggressive beats and just some random screaming, “Laser” is packed with extreme energy but then throws a wild curve ball when the song abruptly switches to a more laid-back rap style. The video fully captures the chaotic nature of the song with its distorted, negative-image and superimposed images that create a sense of anarchistic power. “High hopes are marked by a laser…” the artist says, cryptically describing the song.
