Biography
Little was known about the reclusive Estonian producer Mord Fustang before his rise to recognition in 2011 and even now reports on his history are vague. Nonetheless Fustang has made a big impact on house music since his arrival despite his modest musical output. The producer debuted in 2011 with a string of one-track singles on Mike Dyson’s Plasmapool label. Debuting with the track “The Electric Dream” in January 2011, the songs “Milky Way”, “Super Meat Freeze”, “Lick the Rainbow”, “A New World”, “Magic Trooper”, and “We Are Now Connected” all arrived before the end of the year. All of the tracks reached the Beatport Top 100, a prestigious achievement in itself, however in particular the song “Lick the Rainbow” topped the chart, greatly increasing the producer’s exposure.
Featuring disco basslines, adventurous drops, and seductive grooves, the producer was subsequently named Beatport’s Breakthrough Artist of the Year at the Beatport Music Awards in March 2012. On top of his original releases Mord Fustang also remixes songs created by other artists including LMFAO and Fussy Boy. In March 2012 Fustang issued the downloadable four-track EP "Welcome to the Future” to welcome reviews. In July 2012 the full-length “All Eyes of Mord Fustang” was issued by Selected Records in a showcase to the talented Estoninan producer. Featuring in large part songs previously released including “Lick the Rainbow” and “Super Meat Freeze”, the album also features remixes by Jonathan Gering and Favright.
The EP “Something Music Related” followed in 2013 once again on Plasmapool Records, boasting the producer’s club-friendly vibe and upbeat presence. Three years later the full-length “9999 In 1” was issued on Magic Trooper Records earning a host of critical acclaim. With influences drawn from ’90’s dance, Daft Punk, and a wide variety of house acts, the record cemented Fustang’s position as a respected electro-house producer.
Live reviews
Everybody likes a good spoonerism, but it can’t just be me that thinks that this particular trend is going too far; it was bad enough when artists were punning off the names other artists - Joy Orbison, Joanna Gruesome - but when we entered the kind of territory that’s seen Com Truise and, indeed, Mord Fustang be considered acceptable, I have to admit I considered it a bridge too far. To credit Fustang though, the Estonian producer hasn’t really needed to fall back on his daft stage name these past few years; despite only being in his early twenties, he’s already made a success for himself within the house and dubstep genres, with tracks like ‘Lick the Rainbow’ and ‘Something a Bit More’ already having secured their statuses as club favourites. Fustang’s live performances, too, have been instrumental in securing him much of positive press to date, with his pulsating, viscerally energetic live sets blending electro, house and elements of dubstep and drum and bass to create one of the most relevant - and yet thrillingly unpredictable - turns on the current circuit. He’s made a slew of appearances at UK clubs, and seems to be in constant touring mode; it shouldn’t be too long before he lines up new dates.
