Mother of Mars is the latest musical outlet of New Yorkers Vito Roccoforte & Gabriel Andruzzi. Having cut their teeth as the rhythm section of The Rapture, who were at the forefront of the late nineties post-punk revival scene, they took to channeling their mutual love of disco, house and techno, the bandmates took to DJing together as Vito & Druzzi. Having honed their skills and joint workflow, the Mother of Mars project sees them shift focus from club orientated productions towards Avant-Garde, New Age and Experimental influences.
2018 saw their first exploration as Mother of Mars releasing their Seed 2 Sky 12” on Ransom Note Records. These synth-laden tracks, both 10 minutes in length, were lovingly crafted from their shared Brooklyn-based studio and cast a midpoint between each’s wide reaching influences. With their debut album 'I Hear" they come armed with the angelic vocals of Japanese expat Jaiko Suzuki and a variety of percussion from across the globe.
