"hey stray, the material you and Erik L are composing is just outstanding.
wish you all the best,
pce & greetz"
jay scarlett (Spacek Soundsystem/ Ampsoul Generation/ Beat Dimensions)
If there is one thing the world (and particularly the music business) needs right now, it is people that have the courage to challenge stereotypes. The duo Favorite Flava from Sweden has the intention to do just that, and they are determined to get their message out. Favorite Flavas work is groundbreaking, blending influences like Miles Davis, Detroit hip hop and the Nordic folk/jazz music tradition. This is drum heavy soul music played straight from the heart with a generous amount of earthy rawness and analog electronics. On top of that a unique tonal language going back to the classical Nordic composers via Swedish folk music to jazz legends Jan Johansson and Lars Gullin. Favorite Flava consists of two individuals: Erik L (Erik Lidén), producer and multi-instrumentalist, also involved in projects with artists like Frank n Dank, Kissey Asplund and Cerebral Vortex to name a few. Stray (Mattias Axelsson), drummer, producer and singer, has recently released his critically acclaimed album Here To Stray along with a 12” and 7” single. Erik L and Stray have received support from Gilles Peterson, Benji B, Mad Mats, Jazzy Jeff, Jay Scarlett and Dj Jamad to name a few.
So if youre ready to challenge your perspective on the arts and music check out Favorite Flava. They will raise the hair on your skin.

"That sounds great !!!

Michael Ruetten (Soulsearchin')
"This is Fresh!!!! Loving tracks 1 and 2, deep and dope, like a Scandic Sa-ra, but not trying to copy them too much. Lovely synths and great production, wicked spring vibes! 8/10"
Domu
"Dope mix of glitchy downtempo beats and soulful vocals. some tracks work for me better than others, but production is pretty solid and the tracks knock. kinda reminds me of sa-ra at times... favs are "waitin" and "everyday escape" -
will definitely support..."
Erik Schneider (Giant Step)
Favourite Flava’s new album Different Phase, is an album which represents all my favourite flavours in music. Edginess, cutting beats, vibrating bass and melodic vigour. Stray's writing capabilites and vocals sit hauntingly well on each track. Daring, provocative and trend setting Favourite Flava has made it on my favourite list of musical duos along with Foreign Exhange and J*davey . ‘Stray Witchu’ is fire!
