FlickaDotCircus announce new E.P. Compact33

RWD Magazine - “A little bit moody, a touch left-field, a tiny bit depraved, a fair amount funky, FlickaDotCircus have pulled together their Compact. 33 EP with all the influence a few drinks and a taste of funny smoke can provide.”

Introducing FlickaDotCircus, creating what they describe themselves as “interesting, non-regurgitated hip hop”. This forward thinking East London group are not to be messed with on their highly anticipated EP ‘Compact33’!

Following up on their successful single ‘Rabbits Vein’, Compact33 is a carefully pieced together masterpiece with exquisite guitar riffs and piano sections. Together it is are used as a sound bed for the inspired word play delivered by the contrasting sounds of the bands two MC’s Alfalfa, Nikolai Shine accompanied by vocalist Darna aka ‘Uncle Peez’. Their finishing touch is music producer LOA who the band themselves describe as holding him hostage until he would agree to work with them.

FlickaDotCircus have been working, mastering and producing their sound together over the last year. Members have been performing separately at the same gigs as The XX, Foreign Beggars, Reeps One and have performed at many gigs across the UK including the big summer festival ‘The Secret Garden Party’, Cargo, Liverpool Barfly and supporting the ‘Love Music Hate Racism’ campaign.

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.

FlickaDotCircus release debut single Rabbits Vein

Introducing forward thinking East London based group FlickaDotCircus, with their debut single release 'Rabbits Vein'.  
Consisting of producer LOA, MC's Alfalfa and KillaNick, as well as various other DJ members, FlickaDotCircus have been formulating their sound together in the studio for 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.
Their debut release, 'Rabbits Vein', categorically drives this point home. As a glisteningly original blend of jungle infused breaks, dreamy pads and a vocal sample lifted effortlessly from Rosemary Clooney's 1954 Billboard hit 'Hey There', the single doesn't just bridge a gap between genres, it makes a whole new path of its own. MCs Alfalfa and KillaNick use this backdrop to deliver flawless vocal performances, proving they can write verses with meaningful content whilst more than holding their own in the booth. Accompanied by a neon soaked visual courtesy of director Felix Kemp (with co-direction from LOA), the single acts as a perfect introduction to the unique, blustering, multifaceted sound of FlickaDotCircus.
'Rabbits Vein' is taken from FlickaDotCircus' forthcoming EP 'FGT', which is due for free download release this Thursday (15th December).
