Modern Delivery Xpress continues its sharp start with a fresh drop from rising talent FunkFuse. Marking the third and fourth releases on the label, his "The Mess" EP delivers a confident fusion of simmering house pressure, fronted by the standout title track, dropping as a single on 15th August ahead of the full three-track EP release in August. Following Jay Crusoe’s impactful launch EP for the imprint, which landed support from Fisher, Gorgon City, Wade, and more, FunkFuse picks up the baton with an all-action approach that stays true to the label’s growing identity: effective, tightly built club tools with personality.

Based in Manchester but originally from South Africa, FunkFuse has been quietly building a name for groove-rich, bounce-heavy productions that walk the line between up-front heat and more stripped-back sharpness. On "The Mess," he leans into that sound with laser focus; slinking percussion, hazy vocals, bright stabs, and a bumping bassline that cuts straight to the point. Second cut "Golly Molly" keeps the energy levels high, as heavy breaks and trippy FX circling around a driving low-end, while "Back To The Funk" closes the EP in impressive fashion: trippy voxs, playful grooves, and built for heads-down floor movement.

Operating out of Los Angeles, Modern Delivery Xpress is the club-focused offshoot of Modern Delivery, a new home for finely tuned, high-functioning tracks that skip the noise in favour of precision. With each release, the label sharpens its focus, drawing from a growing international network of producers tuned into that same mindset. FunkFuse’s "The Mess" EP is a natural fit: no filler, no excess, just lean, driving club music with a bucket load of dancefloor potential.
