Flamingo #41 (18/05/22)
Flamingo is my monthly radio show on Lisbon’s Rádio Quântica, broadcasting every fourth Wednesday from 16h–18h GMT. You can find archives of previous shows on Mixcloud and Soundcloud.
May’s episode of Flamingo features lots of new music, much of which has been shared with me online or in person, and I’m very grateful to friends for sending me digital and physical promos. The latest Bakk Heia release was handed to me at the end of a particularly satisfying taps-aff dance session at a pub in Levenshulme, while the Vermelho Wonder EP came suggested via a Soundcloud message. These sorts of connections obviously appeal to my sense of narrative when it comes to music, and automatically imbue these tunes with additional meaning when I play them. So thank you everyone who recommends or sends me stuff.
This month there’s new music on Third Place (Will Hofbauer’s excellent oddball label), M.O.O.N., System Olympia, Stella (an incredible debut EP), Gop Tun, Maricas, DIOGO, Magic Carpet, Cocktail D’Amore, and Tresydos and Mineral out of Madrid. This list alone takes in ambient, sleaze, boogie, house, electro and CHUG. It’s an embarrassment of riches.
Alongside the new new stuff there’s also a much-anticipated reissue of Nev’s Deep Beep EP, out soon on AGT. Joe from the label asked me to contribute to the liner notes for the reissue alongside texts from Nev’s brother and the mastering engineer for the original release. This was a huge privilege and I hope I have done some justice to Nev and the EP by telling the story of my own discovery and subsequent enjoyment of his music. Watch out for the release coming soon from Subwax.
Thank yous this month go to Felix, Teamy, Rizmi, Owen, Joe, Diogo, Harry & Sam, Luigi, the Bakk Heia boys, Mari.te and Abdulla.
