Butterz’ first lady throws down.
Flava D has released some volume of music since debuting on Pitch Controllers in 2012. As well as her regular home of Butterz – through which she’s released ‘Hold On’, ‘On My Mind’ and more – she’s dropped singles on Formula and Local Action, a series of self-released Bandcamp mixtapes and produced tracks for Wiley and Fekky. Last year, she self-released More Love, her biggest and most considered collection of music yet, while also forming a grimey 4×4 supergroup with DJ Q and Royal-T, t q d.
Flava has also emerged as one of the UK’s most booked dance acts: there barely seems to be a weekend where she’s not playing at least once. Her FACT mix comes on the eve of a t d q UK tour, which starts after this week’s shows in Thailand and China (see what we mean about the bookings? She’s even stage diving), while More Love was recently made available for free.
Flava’s next steps are a collaborative release with My Nu Leng, a t d q EP and a solo EP on Formula. There’s plenty of nods to the future on her FACT mix (that My Nu Leng collab, for one, as well as Flava’s special of D Double E and Killjoy’s ‘This’), plus Flava’s own spins on ‘Rhythm & Gash’, ‘Night’, Cause and Effect and more.
