One of the most prolific MC's to come out of Drum and Bass in the last ten years, Tali's ability to freestyle and sing soulful, positive and intelligent vocals over the mix, has seen her stay top of her game. She has won a NZ music Award,  had a UK top 40 hit, won three Drum and Bass awards, released eight studio albums, and toured the world extensively as both an MC and live act.

Originally from a Farm in Taranaki, Tali moved to the UK in 2001 to follow her dreams of becoming a top international MC.
After signing to the legendary Full Cycle Label owned and run by Roni Size, Tali went onto to release the first ever DnB MC album 'Lyric on my Lip' and the single of the same name entered the UK top 40 charts. 
Her album 'Love & Migration' which was released on Fokuz Recordings in 2019 earned her Best Electronic Artist at the New Zealand Music Awards, and her most recent album  - her self produced LP 'Future Dwellers' saw her nominated for the same award in 2023. 
 In her 20 year career Tali has collaborated with some of the scene's most prolific names in both production and DJ/MC shows, is a regular at all of the summer festivals in New Zealand, and tours overseas regularly, with 2024 seeing her performing at both Hospitality On The Beach in Croatia, and Liquicity festival in The Netherlands.

Born just prior to the early 90’s rise of drum & bass, producers Raphael and Garo have rooted their sound in the form, both as solo artists, and now collaboratively. Their combined passion for good vibes, and being able to share that with their fans was what defined their stage name FLOWIDUS, with both producers being quoted as saying “we want people to come on a journey with us”.
The duo have fused their individual styles to create their sound; one which encapsulates their shared love of driving bass lines and melodic dance floor drum & bass. 

Flowidus’ individual parts met at a drum & bass gig in Perth at the beginning of 2015. At the time, Raphael and Wolf were already on the rise as strong solo producers, but after working together on a few tracks, agreed that collectedly they were capable of even more. 

Born in Germany, and raised by his parents who were both successful singers throughout Europe, Garo has always been comfortable in the music industry. His childhood was spent around musicians and instruments, with the drums being one he was particularly drawn to. As he got older, living in Perth now, playing the drums to accompany his Bachelor of Music was a natural progression.

After completing his degree, Wolf began spending more time focusing his talents on producing drum & bass, under the name Spillage. He began releasing tracks on Technique Recordings, Fokuz (Influenza), Soul Deep Recordings, and Good Karma Music, as well as gaining support from BBC 1 Radio Play. Among his recent accomplishments, Garo's 2014 remix of Kate Kay Es “Once You Did” received over 500,000 views on YouTube, as well as having the honour of supporting international artists such as Delta Heavy, DJ Hype, Tantrum Desire, SIGMA, and Wilkinson.

Raphael’s accomplishments are equally as impressive, with one of his tracks on Good Karma Music making it’s way to number 7 on the Beatport Top 10 Drum and Bass Releases at the beginning of 2015, as well as supporting the likes of Wilkinson, Shockone, Brooke’s Brothers, Trei, Tali and Phetsta, under the name Dealt Fairly. 

Raphael, originally from New Zealand, attributes his successes to having a mind wealthy in culture, perseverance and dedication, as well as a pronounced passion for drum & bass. These traits have assisted him in the studio, resulting in a slew of fresh music releases and videos to match. Although living in Perth now, Raphael has enjoyed working with people from back home, and even featured on Tali’s latest album “Wolves”, remixing her single “Faster Than Sound”.

After releasing a few tracks together as Spillage & Dealt Fairly throughout 2015, it was towards the end of the year that they managed to grab the attention of Andy C’s legendary label RAM Records, and thus igniting the beginning of Flowidus.

Ben Howard returns with his 4th album, Collections From The Whiteout, produced alongside Aaron Dessner (The National). The foreboding darkness that coated Ben’s second record I Forget Where We Were and thinly veiled its follow up Noonday Dream, isn’t so evident on Collections. These are songs written from headlines scanned, or news stories scrolled past, providing inspiration for a selection of vivid narrative snapshots – the death of amateur sailor Donald Crowhurst (Crowhurst’s Meme); Russian fraudster Anna Sorokin (Sorry Kid); the man who stole and crashed a plane in Seattle (The Strange Last Flight Of Richard Russell); and the dismembered body a friend of his father found in a suitcase floating along the Thames (Finders Keepers). Alongside them, the personal anecdotes from the same scattered period living between Paris, Devon and Spain. Yussef Dayes features, as does Kate Stables (This Is The Kit), James Krivchenia (Big Thief), Kyle Keegan (Hiss Golden Messenger), and Dessner. Thomas Bartlett, St. Vincent’s go-to pianist, and Rob Moose, a long-standing arranger of strings for Bon Iver, are also present. Long-term guitarist to Ben’s band, Mickey Smith (A Blaze of Feather), remains a reassuring constant. It’s a sonic adventure that continues this nagging suggestion that Ben is one of the UK’s most inventive and naturally talented songwriters. CFTW is his latest opus, and arguably his most fully realised to date.

Mostly demos I have been recording at home over the years
