Container Podcast [126] Flaminia (Live PA)

London-based live artist, Flaminia, grew up and lived in Rome until 2013, drawing what inspiration she could from her hometown, before making the move to London to pursue her dream of studying electronic music. Her style is characterised by melancholic melodies and kick drums, obscured by harsh distortion. A shadowy exploration, which goes from a densely deep and experimental ambient, to soulless industrial dark techno. Flaminia’s main focus is on performing an analogue-digital live set, using drum machines, synths and Ableton Live DAW. In 2015, she co-founded the label Ways to Die Records together with Train, and it was here that she started to release her own music. Ways to Die has a clear mission to communicate that results and success in life should be achieved through efforts that come from the act of choosing, creating and “doing” which, ultimately, defines who you really are. Fast-forward to 2017, Flaminia launches Ways to Die’s sister label, Metempsychosis Records. Where Ways to Die was founded on the principle of destruction, Metempsychosis lays out its philosophy in line with construction. The debut of the sister came in the shape of a Various Artists, containing 4 tracks by Train, Ossa Di Mare, Tapefeed and Flaminia, spanning deep and driving techno, to less refined broken beats. Together the labels begin to communicate a wider message, a reflection of the movement, in it’s current and ever-changing form.
