‘Dark Farfisa’ is the debut EP by Bruxula, the studio projectof Toronto’s Cosmic JD and Jerusa Leao. Firmly rooted inthe city’s music scene, JD runs the Hypnotic Mindscapesparties and label whilst Jerusa works as a singer and multi-instrumentalist exploring traditional and fusion soundscentered around a Brazilian music repertoire. Introduced tous by our mutual friend Raf Reza, the pair began to jamtogether in the summer of 2020 with JD curious toincorporate Jerusa’s vocals into his often club-focusedelectronic productions. The results sit somewhere betweenthe dancefloor and the living room, a psychedelic range ofrhythm, melody and vocal harmonies that felt like animmediate fit for us.
First sharing an early mix of ‘Pala Mo’, the rest of the EPbegan to form quickly based on further recording sessionsand we at 12th Isle are ecstatic to share their work with theworld.
