Flamingosis Bio:

Flamingosis splices together old school soul, wild funk, and D.I.Y. Electronic with a radiant message meant for any moment.

After generating 100 million streams, attracting 100k cumulative social media followers, and receiving acclaim from Pitchfork, MTV, Thissongissick, and many more, the New Jersey-raised and brooklyn-based artist and producer embeds an important affirmation within the framework of his next full-length album, "Daymaker".

Since 2012, he has carved out a niche of his own in addition to collaborating in the studio and on stage with Big Gigantic, Griz, Madeon, Tokimonsta, and Matoma, among others.

Not to mention, he graced the bills of festivals such as Austin City Limits, Electric Forest, Okeechobee, Holy Ship!, and Voodoo Music + arts, to name a few. Critical acclaim followed with Pitchfork describing “believe in me” as “a new summer anthem.” regarding 2016’s bright moments, mtv wrote, “the producer’s new album weaves smooth 1970s and 1980s samples into perfect grooves.”

In 2019, he began to widen the sonic palette. For the first time, he hit the studio with collaborators to architect what would become daymaker. He worked closely with an all-star cast of musicians, including keyboardist Borahm Lee , Jeff Franca , Eddie Roberts , Hunter Roberts, hip-hop funk duo recess, Mike Tallman of funk and roots outfit euforquestra and the color red label, and more. Now, he introduces daymaker with a brazilian bounce, tropical house flavor, and chilled beats on lead single “wild summer.”

Gallant Bio:

Alternative R&B artist Gallant is known for a striking falsetto, heartfelt narratives, and a seemingly natural ability to adapt to any production style. The singer and songwriter made his full-length debut with the Grammy-nominated Ology (2016), and has since issued even more vulnerable and expressive projects such as Sweet Insomnia (2019), Neptune (2021), and Zinc. (2024). Between the latter two, he teamed with Terrace Martin to record a short, self-titled album under the name sneek.

A native of Maryland, Christopher Gallant attended New York University and relocated to Los Angeles following graduation. Across 2013 and 2014, he self-released a series of dusky singles, as well as an EP, Zebra. Having impressed Jake Udell, manager of EDM acts Krewella and ZHU, Gallant then associated with David Dann's Mind of a Genius label, the Warner Bros.-supported outlet for the 2015 releases "Open Up," "Talking in Your Sleep," "Learn to Fly" (a Foo Fighters cover), and "Weight in Gold." Like the earlier tracks, these songs enhanced Gallant's expressive vocals with deep-probing bass and shadowy layers of percussion and keyboards.

His debut album, Ology, followed in 2016 along with "Skipping Stones," a single co-produced by Adrian Younge and Stint that featured guest vocalist Jhené Aiko. A number 39 hit on Billboard's R&B/hip-hop chart, Ology was later nominated for a 2016 Grammy Award in the category of Best Urban Contemporary Album. A string of singles and collaborations during the next couple years led to the 2019 release of Sweet Insomnia, Gallant's second full-length, with Sabrina Claudio and 6LACK as guest vocalists.

Gallant then went independent, and in March 2021 returned with Neptune, a self-released EP featuring appearances from Brandy, Arin Ray, and VanJess. In 2023, he linked with Terrace Martin for his most organic recording, issued under the duo alias sneek. Released that November, sneek was highlighted by the lead single "311!," featuring trumpet from Keyon Harrold and keyboards from Robert Glasper. Gallant made his third solo full-length primarily with Latin Grammy-nominated producer Ariza (Camilo, Dua Lipa, Lalah Hathaway) and additional assistance from the likes of Stint, Biako, and Ralph Castelli. The swirling album, titled Zinc., landed in September 2024. The set, featuring a duet with Nao, further blurred genre distinctions with alternately airy and driving rhythms hinting at rock and drum'n'bass without ever completely dissociating from R&B.

Geographer Bio

Formed in San Francisco, Geographer is the moniker for the now Los Angeles-based Mike Deni. Part social scientist, part troubadour, if Geographer is an expert at anything, it’s precisely chronicling life’s imperfections. He has headlined many national tours, played Outside Lands, Just Like Heaven, Firefly, Treefort, and other festivals, released four critically acclaimed albums, including 2023’s A Mirror Brightly, and has performed with such musical luminaries as The Flaming Lips, Young The Giant, Tycho, K.Flay, Ratatat, Betty Who, and Tokyo Police Club.

Deni is celebrating the 15 year anniversary of his Seminal EP Animal Shapes with a tour and a special vinyl reissue. He’ll be performing the EP in its entirety, as well as songs from his new album and his ever growing catalog of thoughtful and heartfelt music.

About “A Mirror Brightly,” Deni says, “I focused on my experience moving through the world: feeling like an outcast, being denied love in its many forms, and struggling to find meaning in an existence that looked increasingly like a void the more I peered into the glass,” Deni says. Although A Mirror Brightly (out February 23, 2024, Nettwerk Records) is indeed deeply personal, it’s not simply autobiographical like his previous releases. “This record takes that existential shock but explores it through humanity as a whole, rather than just me as an individual.”
