Vicious Cycle - latest release on MOTF

Out now on all platforms

Thanks for the support and good times.

It’s tough running a label solo, and even more so when the industry rewards popularity instead of quality.  Being a small, independent label got MOTF stuck in a catch-22, too small to appeal to rising artists, and therefore not able to grow as a label.  The SF bay area scene is also too small for all of the competition in the market, especially with 2 large corporate entities having a firm grip and fighting for dominance.  It was a fun run, and some great times were had, but this is coming to an end.  Thank you to everyone that streamed the releases (which are still out everywhere), grabbed some merch or came to one of our events.  And thank you to the artists that signed with the label, I hope these releases helped further your creative endeavors.

wufu - Diegesis

Diegesis expands the catalog into the smooth, rolling sounds of some liquid drum and bass.  San Francisco bay area-based wufu is welcomed to the roster with MOTF008. 

One of the residents of bay area crews Garage Access and Blanq Slate, he dabbles in several area of club tunes and is no stranger to the bass-centric subgenres.  For this release he decided to deliver a bright track that flows effortlessly from start-to-finish.  Plucked chords and a warm ambience make this track something that can easily fit into your daily listening routine.
