Luis Flores (MX)
Artist
In 2006, he began experimenting with an audiovisual project called Kümbia Korrupters, focused on samples from Mexican movies of the fifties and sixties. Towards 2007, the need for a
more depurated style led to the launch of Antena Discos by the Nopal Beat team, which gave Luis artistic license to take his music towards an increasingly abstract aesthetic. In 2009 the release of the Damage EP on Droid Recordings, established Flores as an international artist with its immediate success. In 2010, Dietrich Schoenemann’s Hidden Agenda released Pain + Prosthetics, an EP which among other things includes a collaboration with
Canadian: Vitamins 4 U. Besides remixing tracks for Mark Morris and Octave, released on Silent Steps and Plus Eins accordingly, in 2011 Flores published the Love Your Machine EP under Dj mersosn’s Berlin imprint: Micro.Fon. Further exploring the audiovisual aspect of his music, he created the video teaser for the single using J.G. Ballard’s “Crash” as reference and inspiration.
In 2012 he returned to Droid for the release of “New Flesh” which included remixes by label owner Drumcell and CLR’s Brian Sanhaji. This year was also marked by people's interest in his sound with remix requests for legendary names like Jam n Spoon and The Advent.
2013 began with his first collaboration with Berlin based producer Material Object and the release of the “Crowd Control” EP under the Impact Unit moniker for the French label Silent Steps and in 2014 he released “Rituals of Submission” on Detroit’s Blank Code, “Test Pattern” EP in the Spring for CLR and the “Metal” remix for Black Asteroid under EDLX.
He began 2015 with the the release of “43” on Alex Bau’s Credo compilation and with the 3rd release for Droid with the “Static Forces” EP.
