Globetrotting beat-maker ONRA has staked his claim as one of the most exciting producers of the past few years, thanks to releases like his Chinoseries collections (made from scratch with samples found while traveling Asia), his “Deep in the Night” EP on Fools Gold and the acclaimed Long Distance LP. ONRA's unique sound is a product of his open-minded, 360 approach to music-making as he claims to take inspiration from across all genres and eras, be it soul, jazz, funk or rock, the 80s or the 90s, insisting that “you can make music out of everything”.

ONRA has taken his electrifying live MPC performances around the world in recent years – everywhere from the RBMA Bass Camp in Bucharest and Gilles Peterson’s Worldwide Festival, to LA’s down-and-dirty bass sanctuary the Low End Theory – constantly adding new dimensions to the cosmic grooves he puts down on tape.

As a German citizen of Chilean heritage living in London, FLAKO knows a thing or two about displacement. But then, home is where the heart is, and in his case it’s clearly on his sleeve. FLAKO's sonic palette is a blend of analogue colours and cutting-edge design, drawing inspiration from the raw beats of the post-Dilla era, UK garage’s heavy swing, the menacing undertones of early dubstep, and sweet old soul music. But what really differs this multi-faceted beat scene frontrunner from the armada of Madlib/FlyLo copycats is the fact that he developed an unmistakable signature sound throughout his whole body of work. Besides signing his futuristic blue-eyed soul alter ego Dirg Gerner to Eglo and hooking up his label mate Fatima with a-class beats for her debut LP, Flako has steadily developed his own formula. His debut album on Five Easy Pieces goes by the name of Natureboy, and is a perfect portrayal of Dario’s vision in 2015, melting hypnotic ambience and layered melodics with orchestral leanings and his trademark polyrhythmic drum lines.

Joining an already impressive roster of 2015 Club Night party starters, which boast the likes of Clark, J ROCC, Taylor McFerrin and Luke Vibert - this pair of forward thinking beat smiths are guaranteed to sell out clubs nationwide and blow minds at every show.
