Strike

After the widely acclaimed "Rituals" album released in April 2020, Flore is now back to the cherished area of banger engineering with a four packer of original compositions to be unleashed this spring 2022 on her own POLAAR imprint.
The project’s title itself shows clearly what her program is all about : "Legacy & Broken Pieces" has to be seen as a cruise into the anterior future rather than a trip down memory lane. Following this mantra, it’s more than clear that her music does not constitute a tribute to any previous club music history, but has to be seen as a true proposition of sonic innovation and moving paradigms.

"I'm tired of the nostalgia that can be found in electronic music nowadays. After two years of global pandemic struggle and sanitary crisis and now a war happening in Europe, the world will never be the same. Then why should music has to be so ?" says Flore.

Thus, she offers to rework this legacy with her very own vision of sound wizardry, providing a wide range of sonic textures to fulfill this forward goal of breaking patterns within the electronic continuum. Yet another proof of Flore’s skills for always trying to innovate and never repeat herself.

“Disruption” echoes an aerial jungle of the former century while “Fiery Principle” rides Jamaican waves of bass soon dynamited by minced voice samples evoking a soul goddess from the 90’s. The upbeat intro of “The Switcher” leads us towards a choir of drums navigating various black rooted rhythm traditions, but tripping into a very refined and spatial production effort. The records ends with “Primary Mineral”. Its rough and matte sound seems to drill into a wall of fragmented beats racing towards an elusive end, suggesting another musical adventures to be revisited soon…

Second. - Go To Work

Commonly found exploring fractured club sonics with a fierce bite on her POLAAR label, Flore links up with Peder Mannerfelt Produktions for a two-shot exercise in grubby, dance-wreckin’ rhythm. 

The lioness from Lyon wields noise and distortion with a razor-sharp intent on ‘Get Digit’, threading a tapestry of interference around a monolithic bass thump with a groove that takes its cue from the gnarliest end of the dancehall spectrum. 

‘Base IQ’ pivots towards 8-bit bleep and square wave grime with a stern, modernist tract. The sound design spits and snarls around these luminescent hooks while the low end takes on a thunderous energy, positively demanding a monstrous soundsystem over which to preach its message. 

True to Flore’s mission thus far, PM+6 comes loaded with a swagger fit for darkened parties where familiar structures get laid to waste in flamboyant fashion.

Flore - Get Digit [PM+ 6]

Insistent, full-throttle torque as @toma-kami revives his ‘Speed Oddity’ series. 

A second instalment sees the Parisian revisit a blueprint where hybridity takes prominence. Tensile, hi-NRG club pressure for the duration.

Our premiere comes complete with an assist from @wajang co-founder @amorsatyr. Having masterminded the ‘Speed Dembow’ series with labelmate Sui Mata, he and Kami augment 'Djédjé' with tribalistic, free party propulsion.

‘Speed Oddity vol. II’ is out February 17th on Man Band.

𝖕𝖗𝖊𝖒𝖎𝖊𝖗𝖊#153 📢 Flore - Game Over [Maloca]

'Morphers' is a rattling 3 tunes split that was forged between French producer Flore and San Francisco’s Only Now. The release represents the unwritten language shared between both friends over the past 7 years, with their affinity for propulsive percussion workouts and livewire bass music. After releasing on the POLAAR label for years, Only Now and Flore finally met in person for a collab long awaited.

“Collaborating with someone on the production side is not something I’m used to “- says Flore. “It is like a non-verbal communication and its interplay of perspectives. But I think that Kush and I share a same sonic language and this new experience pushed us to embrace the unpredictability and subjectivity inherent in this new creative process.”

The story began in Paris when Flore invited Only Now to come play at her POLAAR night at la Station. A couple of days later they met again at Tim Karbon’s studio, and sketched out ideas. It shaped into a tune made by their 4 hands (« Morphers ») and « Cut & Run », a tune revisited in 2 versions, with their own slant, but trying to keep an even balance between each producer.

Flore’s take on « Cut & Run » encapsulates the essence of big sound system influence. Dub-infused rhythms morph seamlessly into widescreen sound design elements, creating a unique dialect that invites you to decipher its ethereal symbols.

Premiere: Flore - Cut and Run (Flore version)

Pre-order: https://labelraar.bandcamp.com/album/may-the-rage-burn-a-path-for-joy

Less than a year after their debut album ‘Sustained Resistance’, @maelstrom and @louisahhh deliver a second LP, ‘May the Rage Burn a Path for Joy (Bangers)’ on @raarraar.

Far more than a collection of remixes, this record explores how live performance has shaped their body of work from one centred around feelings of angst to one that is bursting with savage delight, and vice versa. @flore provides an intricate remix of 'Casualty'.

Covert transmission from the outskirts of Neurealm… two dark strangers operating from below the ash clouds with x4 chest rattling bass-scapes cut through with quickened breakbeat science. PSYWAR vets tryna get the hell outta hell. The tomb of “El Magnifico” is stalked by the spectre of OIR15A02aTC0008.

Laughing Ears - Blue Dusk

Flore’s music aesthetic has always been driven by complex rhythms and bewitching basslines. As a result, her production always shows a raw energy expressed in a sexy and wild groove that is unique to her. Her new live show RITUAL (created with the VJ collective WSK – more infos below) is a captivating piece where the listener’s body, soul and mind are manipulated like voodoo dolls during the whole ceremony.

BOOKING: judaah@bi-pole.org

Obsessed with raw drums and cinematic atmospheres.

Drawing lines between rave, urban and techno music. 

Focusing more on an identifiable sonic aesthetic rather than aiming for a particular genre or demographic choice. 

Dedicated to pushing hard, abusive music from the shadows.
