As we’ve all seen Tāmaki Makaurau has suffered massive devastation after the floods a few weeks ago with the good people of the north being heavily affected with some losing their homes & entire livelihood’s including lots of dear friends & whanau of The Big Fresh Collective - We turned to local artists & businesses to donate a bit of their time and support to a great cause in order to raise some funds for those in need ❤

Footmahi For Tāmaki Makaurau is a non for profit, Footwork & Juke inspired compilation album where artists from all over Aotearoa & the rest of the world have donated tracks in support of The Victims of the recent floods and the people of Tāmaki Makaurau.

The compilation is centered around raising money for the victims of the floods and also restoring a bit of love and happiness back through the way we know best; with good music!

Created on a $0 budget with tracks donated from acclaimed artists locally and abroad; The compilation will be available under a name-your-own-price deal on Bandcamp which means you get to choose how much you want to donate towards the cause and you receive a high-quality download of the album - 100% of profits will be going directly to The Auckland City Mission  ❤

Huge aroha going out to all the artists involved who donated their time and to Nuance for mastering this project in it's entirety with an extremely quick turnaround in the aftermath of the flooding & the literal midst of Cyclone Gabriel - dude is as an absolute rockstar look him up on instagram under @nuance_nz for all your mixing & mastering needs ❤

Today we share Chicago footwork legend DJ Manny remixes "Flow" by FUCK!LACRÈME. DJ Manny, a protégé of DJ Rashad's legacy continues to carry the torch for Chicago Footwork with consistent releases, remixes, and touring. With releases on Teklife, Planet Mu, Moveltraxx, and his most recent community offering, a curated compilation "For Music Lovers Vol.1," available on bandcamp. 
As deep admirers of Chicago footwork, it makes sense FLAC tapped Manny to remix their next release.
FUCK!LACRÈME is a collective of 5 long-time friends,  DJs and producers who share a passion for offbeat percussions and thick TR-808 basslines. FLAC comprises Lorenzo Marfori, Marco Brena, Marco Migotto, Francesco Crovetto and Andrea Greco, bringing each one a unique feature to the crew: beatmaking, sampling, writing and mixing. They forged a unique style that holds together their backgrounds permeated by black music (jazz, funk,hip hop) and traditional music, with the most innovative breakbeat skitters coming straight from the underground Chicago footwork scene. DJRashad and RP Boo, have had a big influence on them, and they continue to push the  boundaries of their influences by experimenting with the most recent sounds in club music.

[PREMIERE] Fuck!lacrème - Flow (Dj Manny Remix)(Beat Machine Records)

Reforged. Reimagined. Elements tamed and wielded. Distilled frequencies sent back through to the world. Re-focused and reconstructed. A transmutation of will, etched to disc. The long journey’s end. A signal sent between worlds and back again, a vision realized and now, delivered.

Original music by VR Chads.
Remix by HomeSick (@foreverhomesick).
Mastered by SIM.
Album cover by LCL Stream.
