In 2019, in a world before the global pandemic, Auntie Flo continued his one man mission to connect with musicians all over the world, this time visiting South Korea to record 'Bells In The DMZ'. This mission has seen previously forged collaborative recordings in Cuba, Uganda, the Arctic Circle and more over a ten year career giving birth to countless releases and culminating in the SAY award-winning album 'Radio Highlife' in 2019 released on Gilles Peterson's Brownswood.

Bells In The DMZ see's Auntie Flo return to his own Highlife imprint and contains two tracks, 'Peace Bells', which features field recordings taking in the unique DMZ area that divides the North and South, and 'High Flight', which is a remix of a track originally created by his host Akimbo. Both tracks centre around traditional instruments from Korea, such as the daegeum played by Seungmin Cha and the gayageum played by Oh Yeon Gyeong.

The artwork was created specially by Korean artist Da-in Kim and will be available as a print as part of the release.
