Maceo PLex - Mutant 2

The latest Blackflag release brings a taste of Latino to the dancefloor, courtesy of Argentinian Elio Riso’s ‘La Passione’ EP. One of the dominant forces in South-American techno, Elio has been been lauded by the likes of Carl Cox, Luciano and Roger Sanchez over the course of his career. He’s released on labels like Intec Digital, Cr2, and Bedrock Records, not to mention being a firm favourite of Pete Tong, who has aired tracks of his such as ‘To Be Or Not To Be’ and ‘I Like The New Beat’ on Radio 1 over the years.

The title track consists of densely layered, yet carefully controlled drum volleys, alongside a brain-scattering Spanish vocal sample that writhes in and out of focus. Nacho Casco’s remix is more rhythmically subdued, but carries the same bassweight intensity, whilst its white noise sweeps and chord stabs produce a more psychedelic, hypnotic slant for those 5am moments. Chris Von Nunchaku’s remix is stripped back even further still, making for a true master class in ‘less-is-more’ aesthetics

‘Its Alright’ utilizes tablas, timpanis, and all manner of ethnic percussive elements to take the listener on a tribal excursion. The track gives way to an alien-like synth effect, which pulses and warps before dropping back into the thunderous bassline. Back on the remix once again, Chris Von Nunchaku reinterprets ‘Its Alright’ as a buoyant deep-house groover.

We are happy to welcome Maceo Plex to Drumcode with the fourth instalment of his Conjure series, ‘Conjure Infinity’. Featuring two tracks ‘Conjure Dreams’ and ‘Conjure Floyd’, both are peak time monsters that introduce two very different elements. ‘Conjure Dreams’ utilises a groovy, melodic bass that is reinforced using tight thumping drums to shatter any dance floor into the universe. ‘Conjure Floyd’ builds into a more ‘heads down’ techno vibe with a very interesting breakdown. Two sure fire tracks to ignite the floor.

COP ENVY - CRY002
OUT AUGUST 2018
Global distribution via Rubadub.

Sydney via Melbourne-sider Cop Envy brings forth two heartbursting, patient and effective tools to mark the return of the Cry Baby imprint - long silent after their debut exploration with Dan White.

The anachoic, blistering tones of Balanced push the vinyl medium to it's absolute limits with Heavy, HEAVY bass and incredulously well produced embellishments making this a DJ tool for the year 3000. 

Leisure laces the flip with something a little closer to the present day no thanks to  barely melodic musical structures peeling away to reveal the rhythmic intricacies and soul rattling subsonics that roll effortlessly through to the bitter end. REWIND.

Up next on Blackflag, hailing from Buenos Aries Argentina we have Jay de Lys.
Jay, in his young 20s is another wiz kid producer who’s productions are played by some of the finest dj’s in the scene,
for example Loco Dice, Marco Carola Matthias Tanzmann, Jamie Jones, The Martinez Brothers are just a few names that rock Jay’s tunes.

Jay has had releases on labels such as Deeperfect, Klaphouse, Hall Of Fame & Moan to name a few and now we have a splendid super hot on the dance floor release for Blackflag

The title track “London Ghetto” takes a snippet of Fergie’s massive hit London Bridge as he flips it and give us a whole new feeling with a signature hard rocking nonstop floor filler. This track will surely do damage or we offer a money back guarantee. 

The second track “Naughty By Nature” takes another dab into the classic hip hop world as Jays weaves in and out of the 80’s time chamber of rap and back into the tech house world. Another dance floor bomb to say the least

The third track “Groundbreak” gives us a solid tech house feel that comes with a hi rez arpeggiated synth that will surely make you vibrate till the beat kicks back in to take you to next level heights.

Jay de Lys is a force to be reckoned with and he definitely has his footprints all over some of the finest tracks out right now burning the dance floor.

Ladies & Gentleman, Blackflag is proud to give you Jay de Lys.

Lead single of the Open My Eyes EP, out 20 July 2018. Full EP out 7 September on Wormfood + Mawimbi.

ONIPA means ‘human’ in Akan, the ancient language of the Ashanti people of Ghana. It’s a message of connection through collaboration: from Ghana to London, our ancestors to our children, Onipa brings energy, groove, electronics, afrofuturism, dance and fire!

Born out of deep collaboration between long time friends KOG (Kweku of Ghana of KOG and the Zongo Brigade) and Tom Excell (MD, guitarist and writer of acclaimed jazz/ soul afrobeat pioneers Nubiyan Twist), the 4 piece live show features KOG on vocals, balafon and percussion, Tom Excell on guitar, percussion and electronics, Dwayne Kilvington (Wonky Logic) on synths and MPC and Finn Booth (Nubiyan Twist) on drums.

It’s a fresh, raw, fiercely energetic new sound, fusing electronics and deep afro grooves. Think Konono no.1 meets Shangaan Electro, Songhoy Blues and Débruit….

The first single, Open My Eyes, combines classic, shiny, Congolese-style soukous guitar licks with a funky afro-disco beat and KOG’s trademark vocals, alternating between Pidgin, Ga and English  in a nostalgic piece about self-love and making your own way.

When creating an exclusive new track for his <i>DJ-Kicks</i> mix, Maceo Plex decided to deviate slightly from his comfort zone. “I’m kind of known for a couple of big disco records and some really deep bassline house tracks," he says. "This track is much darker, but still pretty sexy and soulful. The whole thing is dark and futuristic.” Maceo's new track "Galactic Cinema" anchors his mix, which is available April 30th on !K7.

A two track EP featuring both new Maceo Plex tracks from <i>DJ-Kicks</i> ("Galactic Cinema" and "Mind On Fire") will be available on Beatport on April 15th.
