FlickaDotCircus release their debut single Rabbits Vein and e.p. FGT
East London based group FlickaDotCircus follow up the release of their debut single ‘Rabbits Vein’ with a self produced 10 track EP titled ‘FGT’.
Consisting of producer LOA, MCs Alfalfa and KillaNick, as well as various other DJ members, FlickaDotCircus have been formulating their sound together in the studio for just half a year, whilst performing separately at events across the UK including Rhythm Factory, Liverpool Barfly, Cargo, Richmix and the Secret Garden Party. Creating what they describe themselves as "interesting, non-regurgitated hip-hop", FlickaDotCircus are keen to avoid being branded as a 'UK urban act’; in fact, they're keen to avoid any pigeon holes at all.
The group’s debut long player, titled ‘FGT’, welcomes the listener into FlickaDotCircus’ world of abstract sampling, processed drum breaks, gut trembling sub basses and inspired wordplay. Despite containing obvious influences from underground hip hop, critics would be foolish to assume ‘FGT’ falls cleanly within such a clear cut category. Throughout its 10 tracks, listeners are treated to a range of carefully crafted instrumentation, including beautifully epic string and brass lines, jungle themed drum breaks, bouncing synthesized basses and even XX-esque guitar riffs (the outstanding final track on the EP, ‘Ah Nah’, being a perfect example of the level of production on show). MCs Alfalfa and KillaNick serve up a range of concept driven vocal performances, which at times familiarise themselves with the likes of Foreign Beggars and even Kool G Rap (thanks to some of the multi syllable rhyme patterns on offer), but mostly sounding like nothing you’ve ever heard before. This blend of influences and genres means fans of forward thinking British music will find as much solace in the EP as hardened fans of already established sounds, and guides listeners perfectly into the extraordinarily twisted world of FlickaDotCircus.
