One of the most truly original production talents of recent times, Auntie Flo offers a gateway to lesser-known strands of music that need exploring. Auntie Flo is a central figure in the ‘new strand of club music fusing electronic and world influences alongside the likes of Four Tet, Daphni, Romare, Sinkane and John Wizards’ (Joe Muggs, The Wire, 2013). Originally from Glasgow but now residing in London, he has travelled the world extensively pushing his unique ‘Afro-futurist’ sound either with the Auntie Flo live band or solo as a DJ.
Having previously released two well-received albums on Huntleys & Palmers, 2018 saw the release of Auntie Flo’s debut on Gilles Peterson’s Brownswood Recordings, an album entitled ‘Radio Highlife’. Accompanied by an intricate live show, ‘Radio Highlife’ cites influences from across the globe. The album is a rich patchwork of field recordings, rhythmic drums, original collaborations, personal stories and studio sessions with local musicians from places like Havana, Cape Town, Senegal, Tromsø and more. Auntie Flo’s ‘Radio Highlife’ UK live tour debuts at venues like Sneaky Pete’s, Patterns, 24 Kitchen Street, Ghost Notes and more.
