Brassica is music by UK producer Michael Anthony Wright. His music distills a storied musical past; capturing Balearic house, real electro, italo disco, new wave, psych, synth music, techno and rave nostalgia; without sounding consigned to any part of it.
From Brassica’s highly sought early releases on Dissident - through his DJ Mag Album of the Year nominated LP “Man is Deaf” on Civil Music - to his Acid, Breaks and Balmy House EPs on the Feel My Bicep Label - it’s Brassica’s promiscuous liaisons between noirish anxiety, naughty MIDI riffs, majestic orchestral moments, and elements that could have been caned by Belgian new beat and Italian Cosmic DJs that set his music apart and have earned him an enviable list of supporters including Bicep, DJ Harvey, Maceo Plex, Trevor Jackson, Henry Saiz, Andrew Weatherall and Erol Alkan amongst others.
Brassica’s Live performances are equally special, as BICEP said during an interview “WE’VE BEEN BRASSICA’S BIGGEST FANS FOR YEARS. HIS RECENT LIVE SHOWS AT OUR PARTIES HAVE BEEN ABSOLUTE SCREAMERS, AS ANYONE WHO WENT CAN TESTIFY!”
And with good reason; when taking the stage - as he has alongside Egyptian Lover, Motor City Drum Ensemble, Dopplereffekt, Jeff Mills, and more - he hand crafts every set, writing reams of material specifically for every show. A recent batch of Live performances included shows at Warehouse Project, Shine, Marble Factory, Bloc, Corsica Studios and more.
This attention to detail and desire for constant innovation, combined with his encyclopaedic musical references and technical brilliance make Brassica’s records, remixes and live performances thrilling and unique; and it is why his is already a favourite of your favourites and why he should be one of your favourites too.
