Description

A decade after its original release, Flako's seminal debut album Natureboy returns for its first-ever reissue on vinyl in a special 10th anniversary edition. In 2015, Natureboy emerged as a rare bloom in the electronic underground -- a record that defied genre and expectation. Hailed by Bleep as "one of the most startlingly unique and original releases" and crowned their album of the year, it still stands as one of the most singular, emotive, and genre-defying releases of its era. The debut full-length from Natureboy Flako (aka Dario Rojo Guerra, also known as soul singer Dirg Gerner on Floating Points and Alexander Nut's Eglo label) pushed beyond beat music into something panoramic. Merging classical structures, sampledelic textures, and electronic experimentation with threads of his South American upbringing, Flako created a richly cinematic sound world, with echoes of folk, cumbia, and soul woven through dense synth-driven futurism. Featuring stunning contributions from Miguel Atwood-Ferguson and Dirg Gerner's own evocative vocals, Natureboy balances orchestral beauty with deep electronic textures and intricate beat science, creating an immersive sound universe like no other. Its scope remains astonishing: from the meditative glow of "Gelis," with its sunrise-like chords and delicate percussion, to the energetic drive of "Kuku," where shimmering synths and rolling grooves open into one of the album's most expansive surges. This 10th anniversary edition includes vinyl-only B-sides and other rarities, offering a window into the wider creative universe surrounding the album. After selling out quickly in 2015, Natureboy returns as a limited reissue -- reintroducing a modern classic to new ears while celebrating its enduring influence.
