We're back in 2022 with another episode of our NIMH Podcast.

Italian born dj/producer, FLAZE grew up in the South of Italy where he was exposed to a variety of underground beats from an early age.
The electronic sound - specifically techno - were his beats of choice from the early ‘90s; paving the way for his future career and artistic growth.
His live début at the decks came in 1995; he started out DJ'ing at parties and subsequently he joined the Studio One Radio team participating in their popular house night.

In 2013 he joined forces with his old hometown friend Nanni, creating Ruff Stuff and the connected label Ruff Stuff Music Ltd, with the intent of spinning a more raw and groovy sound.

As Ruff Stuff he has released tunes on different labels, such as Shabby Doll Records, Silence in Metropolis, Rough Recordings, Rarehouse Records, King Street Sounds, RM Records UK, Cahoots Records, Quality Vibe Records, and more, gaining support from Marco Carola, Laurent Garnier, T. Williams, B. Traits, Marco Faraone, Javi Bora, Roger Sanchez, Ben Sims, Black Loops, Cinthie and more…

Flaze is now pursuing a solo career. In 2021 he released "Brigade EP" under Entrepôt Records, which marks his debut effort as a solo artist.

NIMH Podcast 006: FLAZE

Tune in for Sweet State with Marina Trench. The idea behind Sweet State is to share a moment with Marina in her studio, as a friend, a member of her family, a producer, a colleague visiting her - sitting on the sofa for a couple of hours. Home listening, danceable tracks, everything is based around the concept of «Sweetness». She invites guests to curate a selection - all on the smooth spectrum to wrap you up in this intimate comfy vibes. For this one, this is Betty as the lovely guest of the month.

Sweet State on Worldwide FM : Marina Trench with Betty

The Lament

Bars

This track opens the Outlier album. It’s built from tension, that kind of magnetic pull on the dancefloor where everything’s unspoken, but understood. A little sweat, a little danger, that flicker of eye contact that changes everything. No introductions. No questions. Just energy.

I wanted something French house inspired, but not obvious. Clean mix, sexy groove, no vinyl static. I created a conversation with the vocal and sax responding to each other, almost like foreplay and that’s where the track finally lets go.

This one's for the ones who never needed to ask.
