Starting off initially as a rock and punk drummer, James Flavell (FAIDE) adopted a DIY attitude to making music. FAIDE began to forge a sound for himself, focusing on diverse layered drums and engaging melodies, with the addition of organic live recorded instruments. FAIDE’s first EP’s on local label ‘Dino Audio’ gained support from Kolsch, Joris Voorn, Franky & Sandrino and the legendary Nick Warren, who showcased the tracks at his infamous ‘Sound Garden’ party in Barcelona. As well as Eelke Kleijn, who played FAIDE’s track ‘Wal’ globally, including at his Mixmag NYC party and as the closing track of his Burning Man set. FAIDE concreted his place in the scene by releasing on one of the most respected labels in the industry ’Still Vor Talent’. His tracks ‘ Swerve’ and ‘Gana’ which also featured Argentinian producers ‘Brigado Crew’ and 'Ubbah’ were perfect for the likes of 'Magdalena' (Dynamic) to play in her ‘Shadows Tulum’ set and also at Warung Beach Club in Brazil. 'Stil Vor Talent' owner 'Oliver Koletzki’ also made the tracks a firm favourite in his mixes, including his Mayan Warrior sunrise set. A string of releases followed on highly acclaimed indie labels such as ‘Frau Blau’ ‘Mood Music’ ‘Plano B’ and ‘Asymmetric Records’. Roll on summer 23, FAIDE is set to release on London label ‘Reculture'. With remixes of the tracks from ‘Fort Romeau’ and the imprints owner ‘Hard Antoine’ set to follow up the EP later in the year.
