FLX, also known as Shane Teal, is a recording artist who has released music on labels such as Mindcolormusic, Evel Records, Gablonkers, and his own label on Bandcamp. His first released music in 2016, and has had consistent output in the styles of braindance, breakbeat, ambient, and electro. He hopes you enjoy this mix of all original music.

1. Which artists has influenced you the most?

- I was a massive fan of Rephlex and everything they put out. I really love the new wave of artists that came about right before they closed; Wisp, Jodey Kendrick, and EOD. And obviously I’m a huge Aphex Twin, Squarepusher, and BOC fan. I am also a movie buff, so I get inspired by older sci-fi and horror films i.e. John Carpenter + Alan Howarth.

2. What new projects/releases with your participation are expected in the near future?

- Currently, I am working on an EP for Evel Records, it should be a split with someone I won’t name at the moment. Also, another split with a producer I really admire. I am always working on releasing EPs/Albums on my own bandcamp and try do at least one a year. Oh, I also have a track coming out on a netlabel I run with a few other amazing producers. It’s called Gablonkers. This will be a compilation album. No idea when any of these will come out tho…

3. Which artists/labels is more relevant to you now?

- I always stick with the classics and never bore of my favorite records, but for more recent stuffs; Analogical Force, Love Love Records, WEME, and CPU to name a few. Bandcamp is amazing for finding obscure and not so obscure musicians that make incredible music, I dig through that a lot and find tons of great music. One recent album I like that comes to mind is Profane Architecture by Head Technician.

4. What inspires you now to create music?

- I just like the way I feel when I make music. I like challenging myself to learn and be creative. I think music is the best way to do that.

5. What set-up do you use when creating music?

- I have a small studio in the basement of my house. I mostly work in the box and use Ableton as my main DAW, but use a variety of other software like Renoise and Reaktor. I like to incorporate hardware as much as possible tho. I use the Minilogue XD all the time, Digitone, and a Sequential Take 5, among others. I use anything and everything, software or hardware.
