MUSIC IN THE FUTURE TENSE
Kuedo-007

Kuedo – Severant

Kuedo is due for a post here at Future Flavor. Jamie Teasdale aka Jamie Vex’d aka Kuedo is one of the most active and experimental producers in the bass scene and for that he deserves the highest respect. It takes a lot of courage to continue changing format and innovating once you’ve found some commercial…

O'Bryan - You And I

FlavorThrowback: O’Bryan – I’m Freaky

In 1983 O’Bryan released the synth-loaded classic ‘I’m Freaky’ and blew away dancefloors all over the world. This track hits just as hard as it did 30 years ago and you can bet I’ll be playing it for many more years to come. Get hip to the freakiest cat in town: Here’s a bonus video…

FlavorWatch: Made In Heights

One of the most powerful musical combinations to me is a really talented female vocalist paired with heavy drums and bass. Made In Heights brings that sound to a new dimension with tricky vocal effects and incredibly complex drum programming. Formed of DJ/producer Sabzi and New York-based vocalist Kelsey Bulkin, this duo is one of…

FlavorWatch: Patrice & Friends

I’m not sure exactly how I cam across Patrice & Friends but somehow I got ahold of ‘Cashmere Sheets’ and it found it’s way into my car. What happened next was some of the most vigorous dancing-while-driving I’ve ever taken part in. On lookers were definitely concerned about their safety as I was probably swerving…

Jessie Ware – Running

Earlier this week Jessie Ware came through with ‘Running’, her first video and track of the new year. I saw a tweet yesterday that compared it to her and Sade having sex inside a synthesizer. Definitely a strong showing from this talented young singer who I expect will be dropping an album sometime soon. Keep…

Usher – “Climax” (prod. Diplo)

This is what Future Flavor would describe as “21st century R&B.” If you don’t like it now…just wait. Slooooowwww buuuuurrrnnnn. Diplo’s just doing the damn thing. Peep the track here: Future Flavor approves of Usher. Here’s some older Flavor that we all love…

Surkin-USA-album-cover

Surkin – USA (2011)

“It’s a joyous, juvenile, body-moving record, based on the idea of a radio station called Fireworks FM, set up in Silver Springs. The whole vibe exhales a fantasized eighties soundscape, infused with dance subgenres from that era but dramatically edited by Surkin’s own imaginary memories. Club tracks galore, but also expect more melodic, emotional mid-tempo…

Julio Bashmore – Father Father

I took the last few hours to revisit a great 2011 12″ from Futureboogie Recordings artist Julio Bashmore and was happy I did so. ‘Father Father’ is a smashing 3 track single featuring Javeon McCarthy on the title track. After you check this out also scope the more recent single from Julio called ‘Riff Wrath’…

Miguel – Adorn (Video)

The new track from Miguel’s upcoming project, Art Dealer Chic: Vol.1, dropped the other day and within a few listens I can say with a high level of certainty it will be one of 2012′s best R&B tracks. “Adorn” will be one of three tracks on the EP dropping February 27th. Do not sleep on…
