FloFilz ft: Kofi Stone - Doves (Single)

Acclaimed Berlin jazz-beat producer FloFilz continues his streak of high profile collaborations with leading voices from the UK soul, hip-hop & jazz crossover scene, teaming up with Kofi Stone for ‘Doves’.

Out on Friday 21st February via Melting Pot Music, the track is the lead single from his forthcoming ‘Dim Down’ EP, continuing a love affair with the UK scene that has already seen him collaborate with artists including Alfa Mist, Summers Sons, Blue Lab Beats and Lord Apex.

Created off the back of a production partnership with Kofi Stone for a couple of tracks on his 2019 album ‘Nobody Cares Til Everybody Does’, new single ‘Doves’ sees the duo reunited for a cinematic, boom-bap tale that chronicles dealing with loss in several forms, whilst warning of the dangers of the world and the importance of keeping going in life with all the passion you can find. Kofi shares: “I wrote this track upon reflection of a friend that passed - I wanted to tell his story here. I’ve been friends with Flofilz for a few years now, and it’s an honour to work with him on this. If anybody’s ever felt loss I hope they can find comfort in this song.”

FloFilz’s forthcoming ‘Dim Down’ EP will release on Friday 4th April, and features further UK hip-hop and soul royalty in the form of Kojey Radical and Jerome Thomas, as well as Manchester beatmaker & pianist Matt Wilde, rising nu-soul artist Raelle and fellow Berlin producer Greedo. On the project he shares: “The featured artists being from the UK happened organically, as I’m very inspired by that scene and even made a London related album called "Transit" before. My partner also lives in London, and we love discovering new artists and going to local concerts and festivals.”

FloFilz is one of Europe's most sought after beatmakers, with five albums on Melting Pot Music under his belt. A classically trained musician with a penchant for the violin, as well as an SP 404, he’s widely regarded as a pioneer of the European Lo-fi beat scene (alongside WunTwo). However, he’s long moved into different spheres, connecting the dots between jazz, hip-hop, soul, bossa and city pop in his very own style. He’s recorded music with MF Doom, J.Lamotta, WunTwo, Bokoya, Move 78, The Offline, Koralle, Gianni Brezzo, K.A.A.N., Damu The Fudgemunk, Jazzbois and Kan Sano – to name a few.
