PSA - Cuban Pete Is Dead... Long Live Perfect Pete


C75 Live's own Cuban Pete took to social media to announce his latest career move of changing his artist name to Perfect Pete.

Pete said "Cuban Pete was a nickname I was given when I was younger, which I adopted as my artist name, but the Cuban part always gave me trouble with Paypal and obviously the name was also used by artists previously."

"It was Raf Almighty, from Dirt Platoon, that came up with the name Perfect Pete, due to how much on point my artwork always is. And seeing as Im a perfectionist with all my art it fitted like a glove."


 Pete is in the process of changing over his online presence and will be dropping new music under his new moniker soon.

Fliptrix – Dragonfly

 

"Well travelled in my life got the maddest mileage…”

One year on from the release of ‘Mantra No. 9’, Fliptrix returns with his tenth solo album ‘Dragonfly’.

Written and recorded off grid in the Portuguese mountains and produced in full by the Leigh Brothers (Leaf Dog & Illinformed), ‘Dragonfly’ is Fliptrix’s lightning in a bottle moment; a series of life-changing events compelling Fliptrix to hole up in the studio to capture the true essence of his recent experiences in real time.

The result is his most alive offering to date; handbrake fully off, emotions and energies dialled up to 11 across 14-tracks. Each unpacking a tumultuous year which included the birth of his daughter and unexpected passing of his father, all this while navigating the ever-shifting music scene he has championed for so many years as the founder of High Focus Records and 1/4 of supergroup The Four Owls.

Exploring the connections between the natural landscape and the spirit world, the dragonfly as a totem to the other, but more poignantly, in the fact that Fliptrix’s late father played drums in his own rock band of the same name in the 1970’s, ‘Dragonfly’ carries a personal weight that sets it apart from his previous album offerings, Fliptrix delving deeper than ever before; incredible highs paired with moments of introspection, reflection and mourning as he searches for meaning in the songs that he writes.

And with a stunning feature courtesy of psychedelic RnB superstar Greentea Peng on huge single ‘Cosmic Scenes’, ‘Dragonfly’ is the perfect body of work to round off Fliptrix’s canon of ten solo albums, spanning seventeen years (and counting) of music making at the very top of the scene.
