Release Notes:

Doctor Flake is a French producer and composer
evolving in the Hip Hop/Abstract/Trip Hop styles
like a kind of a musical surgeon, a medical expert
of musical cutting.

His production started in 2001 by developing his
own mainly instrumental musical universe based on
already existing materials. These various extracts
are then thoroughly and accurately dismembered and
dissected before being reassembled and rearranged
to create a new living track.

As a legitimate heir to the sampling madness, his
production sometimes seems being the fruit of a
prostitute and a gothic DJ Shadow. While sampling
hidden nuggets he exhumed from dubious forgotten
EPs, Doctor Flake carries out a both obscure and
dazzling sound, combining mental illness and
repressed rage to result in a literally picturesque
way. Paradis Dirtyficiels carries on with the work
being undertaken with its first opus Intervention
Chirursicale and confirms Doctor Flake..s aptitude
to set up subtle musical atmospheres, alternately
tragic, emotionally disturbed or full of energy.

By doing so he claims his attachment to the
original Downtempo tradition. In this new 12 tracks
album, Doctor Flake and his sampler succeed in
honouring together musical, poetical and movies
icons. These multiple encounters are relayed by
accurate melodies of acoustic guitars, atmospheric
pianos, leads of guitars and saxophones, scratches,
chorus and supported by hypnotical beats and bass.
Worths it!
