Alexander Flood makes a bold return with his forthcoming album ARTIFACTUAL RHYTHM,
bringing his sound to light through UK label Atjazz Record Company.
Steeped in classic dancefloor rhythms and sounds, ARTIFACTUAL RHYTHM presents a
re-interpretation of club and DJ music through the lens of a live band with a jazz edge. Tapping into
sounds of the 90s and 2000’s while keeping his foot very firmly in the now and beyond, Flood’s new
body of work is both for the dancefloor and the listener.
Dubbed “nu-jazz”, “jazztronica” and “jazz house music”, at its core Alex’s sound takes influence
from house, UK garage, drum n’ bass, and broken beat. “Artifactual” can be defined as “made by
human hands”, and that’s exactly what Alex explores with this record; taking sounds and styles that
are inherently electronic, and giving them new life through the rawness of a live band underpinned
by jazz and improvisational explorations. Music made by human hands.
Recorded live in a studio in Naarm / Melbourne and engineered, mixed, and co-produced by Lewis
Moody (Energy Exchange Records), the album features a list of some of the finest players “Down
Under” including Erica Tucceri (flute), Finn Rees (keyboards), Dylan Paul (bass), as well as guest
vocal features from the lyrical legend Cazeaux O.S.L.O on LIFE IS A RHYTHM, Kara Manasala on
UK garage cut DON’T WAIT 4 ME, and New York soul queen Vivian Sessoms heating up some
classic house energy on CAN’T GET ENOUGH.
