The Foundation - Out Now!

The brand new album is out everywhere now including super limited vinyl run!

From the sparse, fractured soul-jazz of 'Untrue' to the loopy 60s soul of 'The Fool', and from the superb understated bassline that underpins 'Wrap Up' to the Stereo MCs-ish hook on 'Your Star Will Shine' via the blissed-out 'Feel So Good', there's much to enjoy here... in fact, overall, 'The Foundation' is something of a triumph (Juno Download, April 2025)

The Foundation - limited vinyl here

11th April 2025 - 'Wrap Up' released

Final single ahead of brand new album later in the month

Flevans' music has spanned a range of styles over the years, from breakbeats to house and disco, but this latest EP for his own Nearby Bear label finds him firmly in soulful, midtempo territory. As such, the home stereo rather than a club soundsystem is probably the natural environment for most of the four tracks featured here - the sole exception being 'Your Star Will Shine', with its cascading hand percussion and cheeky nods to 'I Can't Go For That' - but that's not to say there isn't much to enjoy, from the full-phat funk bassline that underpins warm, sumptuous opener 'Wrap Up' to the sparse, skittish future garage-isms of 'Untrue'.
