Flowriders - RUEDY

Flowriders is the band of producer, beat maker and keys player Vincent Helbers. He started out his career performing, writing and recording contemporary acoustic jazz, and now combines this with hip hop, broken beat and electronics. Fat grooves, tricky arrangements and “jazz wise" soloing make the band sound both raw and sophisticated. Flowriders are a primarily a live band unlike almost all other acts within this area of music.

The album features such great vocalists like Nia Saw, Spoonface and regular collaborator Colonel Red, not to mention live drum contribution from Richard Spaven (MdCL, 4hero, TY and many others). The sound is cosmic, twisted hip-hop-bruk-soul laced with soulful vocals all in the future manner, for fans of 4Hero, Jill Scott, Bugz In The Attic, Gilles Peterson and co

A 12" EP featuring the CO-OP smash hit “Russelology” including two vinyl only tracks, a Marc de Clive Lowe remix plus an unreleased bonus track is also out now.

This is a joint release between Mr Bongo and Unique Uncut, the collective and label set up by Mr Bongo's own Graham Luckhurst along with Straight No Chaser's Amar Patel. For more info please visit www.uniqueuncut.co.uk
