Natureboy Flako, Hector Plimmer

Chilean-born producer Natureboy Flako, real name Dario Rojo Guerra, is one of the most consistently invigorating beat producers currently operating on the circuit.

This year he has returned to London based beat label Five Easy Pieces for the third time with the self titled ‘Natureboy Flako’, a collection of music culled from over 200 recording sessions since Guerra moved from London to Berlin in late 2015.

Since emerging onto the beat scene in the late '00s, he's moved away from Dilla-influenced instrumental hip-hop towards a more orchestral sound informed by Vangelis and Bo Hansson, whilst working with with Eglo mainstay Fatima, Seven Davis, Jr. and LA multi-instrumentalist and composer Miguel Atwood-Ferguson along the way.

Joining him is fast rising UK producer Hector Plimmer, whose exceptional album Sunshine on Albert's Favourites is a strong contender for debut electronic album of the year.
