We\u2019ll be chatting about his new album Oscillate. Tune in Tuesday 10pm, Brooklyn time on @thefaceradiobk\r\n\r\nOscillate, the third offering from Australian bandleader and drummer Alexander Flood, forges a new direction in his sound, pushing a fresh rhythmic and dynamic realm of live dance music. A synthesis of club music and jazz, the new tracks bring together Australian and European energies leaning on house music, broken beat, DnB, funk, experimental music, and live improvisation. This is music for the body. \r\n\r\nIn mid 2022 Alex travelled from Australia to Berlin to make the record, where he assembled a dream team crew of creative innovators featuring Hungarian keyboard player \u00c0b\u00e1se, Australian bass guru Horatio Luna, and Brazilian flautista Paulo Cedraz. Together the group cut six unique dance tracks at Berlin\u2019s iconic Jazzanova Studios, engineered by Grammy nominated Axel Reinemer. \r\n\r\nFrom the shuffling broken beats and dancing flute melodies in title track \u201cOscillate\u201d to the experimental uptempo \u201cDeja Vu\u201d, the momentum of the music ceases to stop. \u201cU R THA 1\u201d features a driving jungle sound of re-pitched drums, vocal chops and 808 bass, and \u201cBerlin\u201d captures a classic funky 90s house feel powered by 4-on-the-floor kick and melodic basslines from Horatio Luna. Paulo Cedraz shines on flute in the Caribbean influenced \u201cGinealach\u201d, and the LP finishes with the head-bopping \u201cH\u00fcpf\u201d giving the listener a taste of some down-tempo beat music atop a bed of \u00c0b\u00e1se\u2019s lush rhodes. From top to bottom, the unique voices and powerful musicianship of each band member is obvious. \r\n\r\nAustralian influence is at the core of the sound not only through the bass and drum chair, but through the punchy characteristic mix by Melbourne\u2019s Lewis Moody and master by Gareth Thomson. The final piece of the puzzle was bringing in Alex\u2019s childhood drum and percussion teacher Joel Prime, where they overdubbed additional percussion parts together in London. \r\nOscillate is out on Berlin label @JakartaRecords \r\n\r\nOh yeah, good times!\r\n\r\nDeejay Maarten Vlot KC\r\n\r\nTracklist\r\nAlexander Flood - LDN\r\nAlexander Flood - Oscilate\r\nAlexander Flood - Berlin\r\nHoratio Luna - Yes Doctor\r\nZeitgeist Freedom Energy Exchange - Something Special\r\nKamal Williams - One More Time\r\nYusuf Dayes - For My Ladies\r\nMelodiesinfonie - Tropicolo\r\nClose Counters - Something In My Drink\r\nHenry Wu - Good Morning Pecknaam\r\nHerbie Hancock - Sly - Live in Bremen 1973\r\nMiles Davis - In A Silent Way\r\n\r\nPut on your boogie pants and dancing shoes and come on down for some Liquid Sunshine.
