FAVORITE FLAVA - DIFFERENT PHASE (UBEAT003)
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 Flava's 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 & Stray (Mattias Axelsson), drummer, producer and singer, has recently released his critically acclaimed album Here To Stray along with a 12” and 7” single, also involved in this project with Paul Mc Innes, Hannah & Caroline. So if you're ready to challenge your perspective on the arts and music check out Favorite Flava. They will raise the hair on your skin.
Favourite flava is smoking, these dudes are bringing some heat!

----------------------------------
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...

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!

Feeling the spacey, glitched-out vibes on this EP... Actually digging the original the most, although the ichiro remix is mixed very well and the sotu the traveller remix has some very interesting elements.

I’m feeling this EP. Favorite tracks are “Belief”, “Electric Soul”, and
“Full Step” -- but all are cool. Might have liked to hear some more upbeat
tracks to mix things up, but still this is a nice release. I look forward to
hearing more off of Ubeat.

The Maverick Sessions are baaaaaad... please, keep this shit up!
Recloose
----------------------------------
I dig this compilation. "Belief" from Reggie B is so hard yet melodic. Sounds
like something E-40 would be on for some reason. "Full Step" is nice head nodder,
feel a Detroit influence in it. I like "bethink" from Busy alot. Those are my
favorites.
