My first recollection of Flamingosis is not a good one. For me his name is tied to the reshare scheme [trading reshares] I saw a bunch of decent and not-so decent producers doing on SoundCloud sometime back, even if I’m not 100% he was doing exactly that.
Recently, I caught his song Next To You and gradually fell in love. I love how he plays with the vocals on it. It always feels like a surprise.
So naturally, I went through all of his SoundCloud and found plenty more music to speak about. His music is like that Late Night vibe I love, but with good old soul singers on top.
In the over 100 tracks I listened to of his, the hardest thing to do was to cut some of the good ones. That’s always the hardest thing to do in making a mix. “Good is the enemy of great.” And Flamingosis has plenty of greats.
