Having amassed a cult following through excellent releases on Project Mooncircle and Brownswood, as well as 2012’s astonishingly original Eclosure EP for our good selves, Flako returns to business with a new EP.
Taking in organic and orchesetral elements, the tracks are cut through with a nostalgic exotica and an unbridled creativity that is completely his own. Technical brilliance collides with bags of feel, builds and tension give way to unexpected drops, synths dart in and out, time signatures are well and truly fucked with... And herein lies the formula for one of 2014’s most cerebral bangers, Kuku. 2014 has seen an appearance by Flako’s alter-ego Dirg Gerner at the Red Bull Music Academy in New York, as well as production credits on Fatima’s acclaimed album for Eglo, ’Yellow Memories’. He was also supported by the widely publicised and fiercely competitive Momentum Music Fund. Live, he continues to impress, After being hand-picked to support Bonobo on recent European dates, he spent the summer going to and from Croatia for highly praised sets at festivals such as Dimensions and Outlook. Benji, Lefto and Gilles Peterson continue to hold his work in the highest regard, with the Eclosure EP recently prompting Gilles to exclaim ’don’t ever stop’. |
