Luis Flores has one of the longest and most respected track records in electronic production in Mexico. He was part of Double Helix until its dissolution in 2002. He is a founding partner and creative director of Nopal Beat Records and Antena Discos. He is also involved in an audiovisual project, Kumbia Korrupters, which has performed at MUTEK MX and the Meet in Beijing festival in China.

Veteran of Mexico's techno scene, Luis Flores makes his debut appearance on the Droid Recordings label with Dain Brammage. As an artist and musical catalyst, Luis has shared many ideals with the

members of Droid. After years of pushing innovating and non-conforming concepts, Luis has developed his own production style that is precise and hypnotic with a healthy degree of dance floor groove.

His title track is a deep journey into psychedelia and unearthly bass. Brammage contains few essential elements, each tripped to perfection. Sparse, eerie vocals surface through out the 6-minute sequence

Flores inside track "The Call" is an exercise in dark subtlety. Four minutes in Flores introduces a rippling synth gate that pulls listeners deeper into audio submission. Cerebral and essential.

Droid hit makers Drumcell and Audio Injection take the best elements of Flores' music and raise them to new levels of club hype on their re-interpretation of Dain Brammage. The duo delivers yet another hands-in-the air anthem for the modern age.
