Dancing Astronaut presents Axis, Episode 067: Mixed by Tom Flynn
Tom Flynn is a bit of a prolific figure in the world of house and techno these days. In 2013 alone, he's released four EPs (on Anja Schneider's Mobilee Records, Steve Lawler's Viva Music, and Nick Curly's 8Bit) and appeared on a slew of compilations and remixes -- in addition to his weighty touring schedule. His sound is difficult to bucket, but he represents everything from driving techno to slamming vocal house to tribal instrumental breaks. Tom Flynn is certainly a name worthy of the dance music world's radar, and we are very excited to welcome to our latest episode of Axis.
Tom Flynn – Work It Out EP
Tom Flynn is a rising star in the underground world with support from some of the biggest names in his niche including Richie Hawtin, Loco Dice, Claude Vonstroke, and more. After being named Pete Tong's breakthrough producer of 2010, Flynn has continued to build his reputation with quality outputs like "Do You Like Bass?" and most recently his Work It Out EP. The EP, which features four crisp productions, makes it clear that Flynn doesn't just like bass, he loves it. We're partial to the original mix of "Equaliser" and "Work It Out," but check it out and decide for yourself.
Shadow Child’s 23 EP represents high point for UK garage and bass
Dave Spoon has made it pretty clear in 2012 that Shadow Child is not just a side project anymore. Spoon made his debut under the Shadow Child veil in March of this year with the release of "String Thing" on Dirtybird Records (you may also recognize it from Eats Everything's Essential Mix). Shadow Child's sound is a spot on representation of the UK garage and bass sound that has dominated much of our beloved industry in 2012. Earlier this week, he released a four part EP, 23, on Food Music, a label he shares with Kry Wolf, Tom Flynn, Hannah Wants, and James Talk.
