Disaster Piece

by Flowdan

supported by

Caleb Bratcher Found Horror Show Style from an EGOLESS remix and had to check it out. Great vocals and nasty bass.

Laurent Thore An album that exceeds the strict etiquette of Grime music, to reach the definitive albums of Massive Attack, Swindle, Senser and Ghostpoet. Powerful, dark and intelligent.

about

“Flowdan’s album is sick. I can’t wait till you lot hear it” – WILEY

“Absolutely sick!”- TODDLA T (BBC R1/1XTRA)

“A man that’s gonna go down in history as having one of the best voices in the UK!” - JULIE ADENUGA (BEATS1)

Out 15th July on Tru Thoughts, ‘Disaster Piece’ is the heavy new album from one of the founding members of UK grime crew Roll Deep, MC Flowdan.

“Calling the album Masterpiece would have been a liberty”, Flowdan states. “I feel like I’m coming from disaster. Like my area. I witnessed disaster from just a needlepoint. It just felt like it fitted.” Flowdan’s ‘Disaster Piece’ unites unforgettable characters in the grime scene today, linking both purists and its younger disciples. Flowdan works alongside key producers like Masro, Swifta Beater and Dexplicit (who produced Lethal Bizzle’s “POW”) who hold nothing back on this release, and collaborates with original Roll Deep crew members Tinchy Stryder and Manga, alongside the refreshing vocals of newcomer Animai (who’s been championed by Crisis on Rinse FM).

Marc Veira, the man behind the Flowdan alias, grew up in East London’s Bow. The album is heavily influenced by his upbringing and area, and Marc wastes no time in introducing you to his ends as he greets you under a tower block and menacing skyline on the cover shot. “It’s called Balfron Tower. It’s a monumental tower block to anybody from the E14 or E3 area. If you’re from East London, especially my part, you’ve seen it all your life.” Speaking out about the gentrification of Tower Hamlets, he continues: “Nearly everything has been demolished and rebuilt in that area, except for a few buildings – and that’s one of them. I like it because it reminds me of times and situations from my childhood.”

Three years in the making, ‘Disaster Piece’ is a melodic grime symphony built up of standout tunes which take you on a dark path, crossing all ilks of grime. “It’s about being a soldier in life”, Marc explains. “It’s about going against scenarios that have been picked for you and choosing your own path.”

The Surgery EP
by Kwam & Sketch'E

Grime, a descendant of garage, dancehall and hip-hop born roughly a decade ago on the streets of the UK, is now entering maturity, with several of its stars finding themselves experiencing the trappings (and the traps) of major label success. But there’s also an increasing universality in its subject matter and themes, and a playfulness … Continue reading Album of the Week: The Surgery EP → Bandcamp Album of the Day Dec 5, 2011
