Beau Diako - “Flutter EP” ft. emawk, Totu, Raelee Nikole, Jordan Rakei and Claudia Bouvette

Buy/Stream: https://awal.ffm.to/flutterep British producer, songwriter, and guitarist Beau Diako follows debut single "Buttermilk" and sophomore offering "Flutter" with his third and final single "Flamingo" ft. Jordan Rakei, and his debut EP "Flutter". You may recognise his specific sound on tracks by Tennyson, Lido, Galimatias and more, or as 1/2 of Zoology. With his solo project, Diako blends his colourful and unique guitar style with a sound palette of indie, jazz, and neo-soul to create something truly refreshing.

"Flutter was built throughout the last year and a half as a new start for myself. After a few previous projects and years of music with other artists, I felt that I finally needed to put something out under my own name.

Most of the songs started from small guitar ideas that I would try and grow the production around as naturally as I could, influencing the name ‘Flutter’ as I felt it reflected the light and floaty sound of the music and guitars.I’m fortunate enough to have some extremely talented friends from all over, who I’m so honoured and grateful to feature throughout." - Beau Diako https://beaudiako.com https://twitter.com/BeauDiako https://www.facebook.com/beaudiako https://instagram.com/beaudiakowicz https://youtube.com/channel/UCS062fjF4tYn2o6tcQpCybQ https://soundcloud.com/beaudiakowicz

Beau Diako - "Flutter" ft. Raelee Nikole

Buy/Stream: https://awal.ffm.to/flutter British producer, songwriter and guitarist Beau Diako follows debut single "Buttermilk" with another heart-wrenchingly nostalgic offering in "Flutter". Weaving a fairytale-like web of sound, "Flutter" enlists the help of Southern California native, Raelee Nikole, who adds a pure, fresh vocal to the whimsical creation.

"For Flutter I wanted to create a track that could be subtle and dramatic at the same time, with bright imagery of butterflies, flowers and fireworks. I decided to stick with orchestral sounds over some smooth chords and centred the structure around a cheesy guitar solo in the middle.

The song features beautiful vocals from my friend Raelee Nikole in LA, there are also a few nice moments from Noah Slee somewhere in the mix too." - Beau Diako

Ben Esser - Stripes (ft. emawk & Beau Diako)

Stream: https://soundcloud.com/benesser/stripes Buy/stream: https://ffm.to/benesser

____ 'a hazy piece of soul perfectly fitted for those days spent bathing in sunlight creeping in through closed curtains' - Complex ____

Berlin-based producer Ben Esser releases first single in two years with "Stripes". Created with New York basedemawk and UK guitar wunderkind Beau Diako, "Stripes" is a seamless collaborative gem which perfectly encapsulates "raw moments of pure inspiration".

"Whilst working with Beau on his upcoming EP, we had loads small melody fractions that needed to be developed into full songs. Around the same time my good friend Donna (Lekker Collective) showed me emawk's track ’18’, which I fell hopelessly inlove with. When visiting NYC earlier this year emawk (Kwame) and I linked up and started working on one of the little snippets I'd created with Beau 'til like 5am - paving the foundation for the song." Esser is cautious not to overcomplicate or overproduce the music, with "Stripes" touting a refreshing simplicity. emawk's play on harmony, layering and scatting throughout his vocal performance lends something truly unique to the track, heralding a welcome return for Esser's artist project and an excitement for what his specific brand of electronic RnB will sound like moving forward. I always try to incorporate analog gear and ‘real’ performance. There’s something about the human performance that we immediately connect with. Almost all the sounds on ’Stripes’ come from organic or analog sources and in combination with Kwame’s voice blend perfectly together - Ben Esser After his breakout debut single "Love You More", the prolific producer has taken a backseat with his own project in order to help other artists hone their sound - resulting most notably in Noah Slee's critically acclaimed debut album "Otherland" (Majestic Casual / Wondercore Island).

The Story So Far

Ben Esser Since being exposed to a range of different music in his childhood years, classically trained pianist and producer Ben Esser continually strives to find the emotional root in the music he creates. Moving to Berlin in the summer of 2015, Esser's musical horizons were expanded after being introduced to RnB artist Noah Slee, who became an important musical mentor and eventually collaborator, evolving the idea of producing and composing with other artists into actuality. Since then, Esser has worked with an eclectic mix of artists across genres. From Wayne Snow,  Jordan Rakei,, James Chatburn,  Izzy Bizu, Alxndr London, German rapper Kelvyn Colt, US rapper Denzel Curry, New Zealand RnB songstress Bailey Wiley, BLVTH, Drunken Masters and Portugal. the Man, just to name a few.

Like most people I owe a lot of my early musical memories to my parents. Early records that got played around the house range from ‘2001 (Dr. Dre)’, ‘De La Soul Is Dead’ (De La Soul), ‘The Score’ (Fugees) and records by Steve Reich, Kraftwerk and Billie Holiday. I feel like that this variety gave me the tools I still come back to everyday when making music. The term ‘genre’ lost most of it’s meaning for me early on and I really enjoy artists the most who keep surprising me with their unexpected musical paths. emawk Boston born, Nairobi raised, and (now) New York based R&B artist emawk is one that doesn't conform to any one production style. His poetic lyrics, textured production and out-of-the-box song structures, has brought him accolades from tastemakers such Majestic Casual and Complex, as well as Spotify playlist placements stemming from breakthrough single "18". Beau Diako British producer/writer and guitarist Beau Diako blends his colourful and unique guitar style with a sound palette of indie, jazz and neo soul.

As a self-taught musician on the south coast of England, he found himself taking influence from a diverse range of artists and genres.  

Following success with previous projects Zoology and Pigarette, and years of collaborations with artists such as Tennyson, Lido, Jordan Rakei, Galimatias and many more, Beau brings together some of his favourite vocalists for his debut solo release.

Beau Diako - "Buttermilk" (ft. emawk)

Buy/Stream: https://AWAL.lnk.to/Buttermilk His guitar licks are as distinctive as any voice, as his fingers sing with soaring glissando's and creative, emotive note-picking. That is what sets British producer/writer and guitarist Beau Diako apart from the pack. You may recognise his specific sound on tracks by Tennyson, Lido, Jordan Rakei, Galimatias and more, or as 1/2 of Zoology or Pigarette. Beau now takes his artistry into his own hands, introducing us to a new era with solo debut single "Buttermilk", featuring Kenyan raised, New York based R&B artist emawk. Buttermilk is meant to capture the sound and feeling of a calming nostalgia. The track came about naturally at home on a sunny, peaceful day whilst mindlessly layering guitars, and was finished later in the year after having some bad buttermilk pancakes in Berlin. Diako blends his colourful and unique guitar style with a sound palette of indie, jazz and neo-soul in this refreshing offering. Relentlessly pushing the boundaries of genre, "Buttermilk" is a calming offering compared to Zoology's more upbeat, pop-influenced sound.

The self-taught musician takes influences from a diverse range of artists such as Radiohead, Sufjan Stevens, James Blake, Joanna Newsom, while exploring a range of genres- from indie, jazz, folk, electronic and soul music - all which is evident in his genre-defying sound.
