Auntie Flo’s Highlife imprint drops the second remix EP of tracks from the Glasgow producer’s 2015 album ‘Theory Of Flo’ today (Friday 28th October), in collaboration with the Huntleys + Palmers label. We’ve got the exclusive play of Auntie Flo’s own rework of ‘Su La’ from it above.

Having been shortlisted for the Scottish Album of the Year award last year, Highlife and Huntleys + Palmers follow up ‘Theory of Flo’ with some stellar remixes from friends and associates of the labels, including Mark E and Africaine 808.

Auntie Flo, real name Brian d’Souza, works the album opener into a cut primed for the dancefloor, complete with a huge breakdown and chopped vocals samples of Shingai taken from the original.

Listen to the exclusive premiere of Auntie Flo’s ‘Sun La (feat. Shingai) In Love version’ below.

PREMIERE: Auntie Flo ‘Su La feat. Shingai (In Love version)’

It was well into the night when we commenced our search for the Robot Heart Bus. We say search, as the sand storm started earlier in the night had completely covered the desert, making the visibility extremely limited. Since this was our first Burning Man, we weren't well prepared for the fury that nature would bring - our eyes were filled with sand as the shivers of the cold night rolled through our bones. We drove around aimlessly not always knowing whether we're headed in the right direction. All the directional signs were completely covered in sand and any people around us were just as disoriented by the storm while trying to find their own path. 

After a while we noticed a silhouette resembling a glowing heart. As we started moving towards it, there was no doubt that the Robot Heart Bus was in front of us. There really isn't anything like it, and if you haven't seen it before it's not easy to paint its picture with words. Completely covered in speakers and a large flickering heart at the top, the bus stands in the middle of the desert. It's filled with amazing people, who immediately make you feel as if you've known them for a lifetime. 

There are places on earth that are so rapt with special meaning, that from the moment you experience them... the first minute, this unique, magical atmosphere shakes you to your core and settles comfortably into your soul for eternity. For us, Robot Heart at Burning Man is definitely one of those places.

Shrumen Lumen is a garden of over sized origami-inspired mushrooms that react to the presence of people by blooming and shrinking. At night their light patterns undulate through their folded structures.

Order album: http://microcosmosrecords.com/cubering-soma/

Microcosmos Records presents Soma by Cubering, chillout music producer from Moscow, Russia.

“Soma” is a musical tale about the complicated journey of the exploration of the inner self through altered states of consciousness and following experience.

Layered atmospheric shades, warm bass, strong beats and gently percussions filling the time and space all around the listener.

Every tune is different and memorable. Music ranges from slow and minimalistic “Birdman” to groovy uplifting “Booster,” from funky “Transitional State” to dramatic and substantial “Mass.”

All together, tracks complete a good soundtrack for spectacular trip or self-reflection session.

Cubering - Transitional State

It was the last morning of the 2016 Burn and there was a small, but beautiful crowd of dedicated burners gathered, as most had already continued back to the outside world. We were feeling very spent, tired, dusty and freezing, but powered through the transition from night until dawn and once the sun broke through, it brought warmth to our bones and it turned into very special morning indeed...
