Who are MEDUZA: MEDUZA have spent the year leading the charge in returning house music to daytime radio, and succeeding. Their debut release, ‘Piece Of Your Heart’ featuring Goodboys, has now seen 600 million streams globally, selling a million units in the UK alone to date and peaking at #2 on the Official UK Charts. These incredible sales have given the Milan natives multi Diamond, Platinum and Gold certifications around the world. The follow up track ‘Lose Control’ with Goodboys and UK songwriter Becky Hill, has already made an unprecedented impact, reaching the UK Top40 in its first week, now notching upward of 50 million streams with 25 million YouTube views in just a month, and all the signs of matching or surpassing its predecessor. These headline successes are also bolstered by an impressive catalogue of hand picked remixes for the likes of MK, R+, Friendly Fires and Ritual, displaying not only Meduza’s signature sound and energy to the record, but also the raw ability to create a stand out release whenever called upon. Alongside various media and promotional appearances, the touring diary for Meduza shows an almost insatiable demand for the hottest act in dance music, with Fabric (London), Elrow, We Are Fstvl, TOFFLER (Rotterdam) and Warehouse Project (Manchester) to name but a few key venues and events scaling the globe from Europe, North and South America and Asia to seek out the signature soundtrack of the summer.
