Doctor Flake is a French producer and composer evolving in the Hip Hop/Abstract/Trip
Hop styles like a kind of a musical surgeon, a medical expert of musical cutting.His production started in 2001 by developing his own mainly instrumental musical universe based on
already existing materials.
These various extracts are then thoroughly and
accurately dismembered and dissected before
being reassembled and rearranged to create a
new living track.
As a legitimate heir to the sampling madness, his
production sometimes seems being the fruit of a
prostitute and a gothic DJ Shadow.
While sampling hidden nuggets he exhumed from
dubious forgotten EPs, Doctor Flake carries out a
both obscure and dazzling sound, combining
mental illness and repressed rage to result in a
literally picturesque way.
LP « Paradis Dirtyficiels »
Paradis Dirtyficiels (Dirtyficial Paradise) carries on with the work being undertaken with its first opus
Intervention Chirursicale and confirms Doctor
Flake´s aptitude to set up subtle musical
atmospheres, alternately tragic, emotionally
disturbed or full of energy.
By doing so he claims his attachment to the original
Downtempo tradition.
In this new 12 tracks album, Doctor Flake and his
sampler succeed in honoring together musical,
poetical and movies icons.
These multiple encounters are relayed by accurate
melodies of acoustic guitars, atmospheric pianos,
leads of guitars and saxophones, scratches, chorus
and supported by hypnotical beats and bass.
Worths it!
