DEBUT ALBUM
OUT NOW
With a pile of original tunes and remixes under his belt, Dave
McKinney brings it all together for his debut self-titled Flow Dynamics
album. Full of funky jams and block party breaks, the record takes
the listener on a journey through the world of funk and soul based
beats with lots of uptempo party cuts, chilled downtempo grooves
and everything in between. The album digs deep into the traditions
of funk and soul, with lots of live musicians, heavy drums, funky
basslines, tight horn sections, sharp cuts, and raw funk vocals,
all recorded and mixed at home in his bedroom studio.
REMIXES
With Flow Dynamics music getting heavy rotation across the
UK, France, Italy, Germany, Japan, Russia, Spain, Portugal,
US, Canada, and Australia, Dave McKinney has also become
an in-demand producer for remix work. He's remixed the likes
of UK funk outfit Speedometer, latin group Manteca, America's
All Good Funk Alliance, and Australia's DJ Regal (Wiseguys/Bronx
Dogs), and has upcoming remixes for a string of artists around
the globe.
