Based in the UK and Sweden, Flak Records have been wobbling woofers with their colourful selection of electro swing, house, dubstep and glitch, since 2011. With Joshua Marks and Jessica Andersson at the helm, Flak has released fun ‘n’ funky tracks from the likes of: PaulWetz, Jamie Berry, Butterfly Crash, Minor Rain, Fabian, Jazzotron, CalicoLeaf and more.
Review: Having developed a sterling reputation for sudden splashes of one-track attitude, Berry returns with his most extensive EP since last year's Swing It EP. The party ignites with the glitch-swing jazz jam "Grandiose". Built up around a well excavated '30s vocal sample with big walls of slippery bass, it sets the tone for the entire EP. Further on "Twitch" takes the vibe up several BPM with a festival-ready piano-slapping vocal jacker, "Heart" averts full focus to the horn section with cinematic glee, "Showtime" jives and swings with Cab Calloway-style cheek and charm and "NFY" brings the show to a full-flavoured, bass-burping pumping finale. Consistent, extensive and exciting, this is Berry's finest release to date.
Review: Some producers go very retro with their swing productions and some go very hard on the electro side. Here DJ Mibor delivers two slices of uber slick, housed-up swing that are both subtle and yet not shy on hitting the dancefloor either. After much deliberation we've decided that our favourite here is the clicky fizz of the Louis-Prima-in-Ibiza vibes of "Alkaline", but it was a tough call.
