To support the release of the Flow Dynamics album on Freestyle Records I'm doing a run of shows in UK, Europe and Australia. I wanted to do something a little different, so I'm doing a special live remix and mashup DJ set. I basically have a pile of loops, grooves, songs, acapellas, and song snippets, and then use midi controllers and computer gear to trigger bits and pieces in and out. It means I can do live remixes of my own stuff as well as improvise mashups on the fly. Lotsa fun ;) You can expect to hear lots of exclusive edits, live remixes and general mashup madness including Flow Dynamics favourites, old school dusty funk classics, and the latest tunes from around the globe. Funk, soul, hip hop, latin, disco, beats, and breaks. Feel good party styles all the way...

BIOGRAPHY From Moscow to London, New York to Rome, and Berlin to Paris, Australian producer Flow Dynamics has been creating boogie fever and booty havoc on dancefloors across the globe. Fusing live musicians with a pile of electronics and sampling, multi- instrumentalist and producer Dave McKinney has proved to be a musical force on the world stage.

DEBUT ALBUM OUT NOW ON FREESTYLE RECORDS UK Now, with a pile of original tunes and remixes under his belt, Dave McKinney brings it all together for his debut self-titled Flow Dynamics album. Full of funky jams and block party breaks, the record takes the listener on a journey through the world of funk and soul based beats with lots of uptempo party cuts, chilled downtempo grooves and everything in between. The album digs deep into the traditions of funk and soul, with lots of live musicians, heavy drums, funky basslines, tight horn sections, sharp cuts, and raw funk vocals, all recorded and mixed at home in his bedroom studio.
