Tastemakers’ favourite, Swedish producer/DJ/artist La Fleur drops upbeat single ‘Plastic Miami’, a third taste of her forthcoming album ‘Väsen’ due October 18th on [PIAS] Électronique.
Previous LP singles Chian, Slowdive and Stay With Me won praise from Mixmag, DJ Mag, SiriusXM, Kiss FM, Kerri Chandler, Axel Boman, Sim0ne, Eelke Kleijn… La Fleur’s scalpel-sharp tech skills are crafted to home in on the emotions. This new body of work has a positive, life-affirming vibe, carried by hook-happy melodies and complex layered percussion – a collection of sure-fire summer hits.
‘Plastic Miami’: Typically La Fleur in its layering and intertwining of superbly crafted strands and sub-genres. A rolling romp of a beat with bongo-esque multi-level percussion keeps collecting crystal-clear elements like a snowball – sparkling sweet piano arps, pizzicato melodic guitar phrases, fanfares of horn-like synths like elvish trumpets, and a subtle yet distinct flavour of Kraftwerk – all keep the mind entranced following the glittering threads, leaving the body free to respond to the upbeat, joyful vibe and let loose.
Her long-awaited debut LP ‘Väsen’ follows successes and accolades inc. a decade of her Power Plant label, a Mixmag breakthrough artist nod, a Watergate compilation, an Essential Mix, Essential New Tune collab with Sasha ‘Förbindelse’, and gigs inc. Creamfields, Awakenings, Watergate Berlin, Printworks London, Sonar festival, Warung Brazil, Amnesia Ibiza.
