Flava D has long been a force in UK club culture, moving effortlessly between the worlds of UKG, grime, and bass. Her set at this year’s Paléo Festival was no exception, providing a fast and fluid ride through drum ‘n’ bass and UKG, full of sharp turns, deep grooves and euphoric club pressure. Dive in.
Who: Flava D!
Where: I was born in Bournemouth. After living around South London for 12 years, I’ve recently relocated back to my hometown.
What: I specialise in all things bass. UKG is my first love. I have a soft spot for anything that has a skippy drum groove, moody bassline and some soulful chords.
When: For that time of night where the crowd are fully locked in and ready for high energy. People are starting to gather to the stage in groups. The music hasn’t begun yet, but the smoke machines and red lighting set the tone that the evening is about to get started. You can just feel that people are ready to go hard.
Why: Making music is my form of expression. It gives me a similar release to meditation. It’s my way of being able to connect to others. Being able to DJ and see people vibing to my own productions in the club is one of the coolest parts of my job.
