Flash 89 - Generate

From psyche rock to electro, Australia's geographical remoteness has proved no disadvantage to the non-stop stream of world-conquering artists emanating from it over the last couple of years. Take Adelaide, a city perhaps not immediately as well known as the iconic waterfront architecture of Sydney or the arts scene of Melbourne, yet still the birthplace of stars from singer/songwriters Sia and Tkay Maidza (who appeared on Martin Solveig’s huge hit ‘Do It Right’) to DJs like Motezand Sonny Fodera.

Already following in this jet-stream all the way to BBC Radio 1 is 28-year-old Flash 89, aka Dutch Australian Paul Kranenburg. Having caught the attention of Danny Howard for his bumping house remix of 'Go Bang’ by ARIA Award winning countrymen PNAU, its techy grooves slip seamlessly into the new school house sound spearheaded by artists such as Eats Everything and Patrick Topping.

Then again, music is in his blood. Flash 89’s grandmother worked for EMI as a plugger and used to send him old records to sample, shaping a taste for electronic music that started over a decade ago when names such as Switch, Plump DJs and Fake Blood dominated Australia's festival scene and kick-started Flash 89’s foray into production. His pulse now beats to the four four of house and his energising sound is set to dominate dancefloors worldwide.

Spending the last six years DJing around the country and honing his skills, in the last nine months Flash 89 has been fully committed to the studio, paving the way for his emergence onto the international scene. With a a diverse cast from Groove Armadato Luigi Madonna already supporting his 'Go Bang' remix, debut single 'Generate' provides the next electrifying spark point. A bleeping, swinging beast, it recalls the classic Chicago sound of Green Velvet. So cameras ready… prepare for Flash 89, the next fresh talent shining out of Australia's ever expanding dance scene.
