Fu10 The Galician Gotta 45 Exclusive ›

According to labelsheet leaks, only of the “Exclusive” variant were ever pressed. Why 45? A tongue-in-cheek nod to the RPM speed of the record itself. These copies were hand-numbered, wrapped in handmade, recycled kraft paper sleeves stamped with a Cruz de Santiago , and distributed personally by Ulloa to just four physical locations: two record shops in Santiago de Compostela, one in A Coruña, and—intriguingly—a single record locker inside a members-only listening bar in Brooklyn, NYC. The Tracklist That Defies Genre The A-side, “Néboa Sucia” (Dirty Fog) , opens with a reversed gaita melody that soon disintegrates into a gritty, distorted 808 kick. Over this, MCs Tato da Toxa and Minia (a female vocalist who raps exclusively in Galician) trade verses about smuggling, ocean salt, and ancestral memory. The B-side, “Lume no Monte” (Fire on the Mountain) , is an instrumental beat suite—three minutes of cascading tambourine loops, vinyl crackle, and a bassline that sounds like a dubbed-out reggae riddim recorded inside a stone horreo (a traditional Galician granary).

But the 45? The 45 survived. Barely.

Since the release, FU10 has gone completely silent. His Instagram account (@proxectofu10) has been wiped. The four record shops that originally sold the 45 refuse to name buyers. The members-only bar in Brooklyn returned its copy to the artist after a patron scratched the A-side while dancing. For collectors, “FU10 The Galician Gotta 45 Exclusive” has transcended music. It is now a digital-age legend—a physical artifact designed to frustrate the streaming era. If you happen to find one, do not expect to pay retail. Do not expect the seller to know what they have. And do not ever play the locked groove unless you are ready to sit in the fog for a very long time. fu10 the galician gotta 45 exclusive
