STARFLAKE celebrates the release of their self-titled debut album, out September 1.
Led by Jackie O'Brien, co-founder of Austin psych-rock band The Bright Light Social Hour, Starflake is a tropical psychedelia quintet that turns the dance floor into a space for exploration and catharsis. Latin percussion, synthesizers, new wave guitars and dub-soaked psychedelia. The debut was recorded largely over a single weekend at Escondido Sound in Austin, most of it captured in one or two takes, with lyrics pulled from Jackie's journals and melodies improvised on the spot.
Live, Starflake makes the audience the sixth member of the band. Ben Nelson, Alex Holeman, Zac Catanzaro and Juan Alfredo Ríos are the gravitational force that pulls the room deeper in.
Trucha Soul is a live cumbia DJ experience, Latin vinyl label, archive research project and sound system. As one of Austin’s only standing Latino music-focused vinyl imprints, the label features specialty artist collaborations and rare releases from Texas, Mexico and beyond. Through vinyl digging trips to Mexico and around Texas the label's direction of shining light on forgotten stories, music and musicians, came to be. Trucha Soul's live DJ sets are inspired by Mexico City "sonidero" style, emcee DJs who are a historic pillar of their communities often bringing barrios together to dance cumbia in the streets with big productions, vintage sound systems and vinyl.
