From one EP and a handful of remixes and collaborations, Mao Ra Sun have garnered support from the likes of Vice, iD, Dummy, Earmilk, Oneman, Untold, Pangea and beyond for their distinct take on forward-thinking soulful, electronic music.
Joining forces with Dems, the duo has just released a cover of Slowdive’s shoegaze classic, ‘When The Sun Hits’
For an anonymous duo from Brighton, Mao Ra Sun have so far attracted an impressive and growing band of collaborators including 14th, Lulu James, Mumdance, Marin, Dems and Seasfire – a disparate, but like-minded bunch who share their genre-defying passion.
It’s this diverse sound that’s led to remix requests for Mad Decent’s Zebra Katz, Maribou State, Alex Barck and The Bloody Beetroots featuring Theophilus London.
Leftfield, but with an eye on the main-stage, Mao Ra Sun’s wide-screen sound is a compelling mixture of sub bass, textured soul, lush strings, and futuristic synths – as neo-modernist as the artwork they curate for their releases. Recent single, ‘Ways Of Seeing’, is a prime example, a cinematic torch song featuring the immensely talented Tracey Duodu and Tom Barber from 14th on vocals. This lead track is accompanied by the bass-heavy bump of ‘Black Narcissus’.
