Pique

Somewhere between the short lived ecstasy of a fresh stick of gum and a social anxiety fueled panic attack lives Ottawa's resident hyperpuker HUG MOSH. Comprised of producer, vocalist, and DJ Fabien Pleur alongside VJ Alex Jakimczuk, the multimedia project blends bubblegum synths and frenetic drum patterns with dense, introspective lyrics, and live-glitched visuals to form a uniquely wonky, shiny, and somber take on modern pop music. HUG MOSH combines bleeding edge experimental pop with heavy influence from the hip-hop, punk, ska, and hardcore scenes they grew up in to make a sound that is both nostalgic and futuristic. HUG MOSH is what happens when you coat your intrusive thoughts in candy. With the release of their first project 'Ontario Hyperpuke' in 2022, HUG MOSH are currently working on a string of fresh and exploratory singles for summer 2023.
