'This is modern soul at it's best taking in good production and sounds with the ability to sooth any soul' 4 out of 5 --UPDATE MAGAZINE

Favorite Flava, the Swedish group consisting of producer/multi instrumentalist Erik Lidén (Erik L), singer and producer Mattias Axelsson (Stray) and singer Paul Mac Innes are back with their latest offering VII, released on the Exceptional Blue label.

Favorite Flava create a fantastic blend of soul, pop and funk and demonstrate an unusual approach to melodies, unconventional chord progressions and beautiful harmonies... all mixed together with painfully honest Nordic melancholies. VII follows their critically acclaimed debut album "Different Phase" (released in 2009 on Ubeat Records) and is reminiscent of 1980's synthesized funk and futuristic studio experiments with a playfulness that could be likened to Hendrix or Prince's uncompromising studio work. Favorite Flava isn't just about the studio though, they're also a high-energy live act with a hunger to play their music all over the world. 

Remixers: Funkystepz : On remix duties we have Funkystepz a young production collective comprising four creative producers and one DJ under the names of Stimpy, Renay, Scrufizzer, Twitch and DJ Maxsin. All individually talented their combined talents are a force to be reckoned with on the UK funky house circuit.

FunkyStepz have enjoyed support from BBC Radio 1, Kiss and Choice FM, as well as many underground stations and now host their own radio show on Rinse FM every Friday (11am-1pm) where they have a dedicated hour each week of their own productions, including their recent releases featuring the likes of Rhianna, Louise Williams, A.L and Lily McKenzie. February also saw their release of 'Fuller / Hurricane Riddim' on the achingly hip Hyperdub label founded by Steve Goodman (aka Kode9) and run by Kode9 and Marcus. (with releases from Kode 9, The Spaceape, Burial, Warrior Queen, Killa P and so many more.)
Funkystepz have also been called upon in by distinguished labels like Island, All Around The World/Universal and Mercury Music Group to do remix work for the likes of Tinchy Stryder, McLean, Gyptian, James Bellamy and RD (Ruff Diamonds). 

Tipped as one of the hottest production units on the scene at the moment we are certainly delighted to present their stunning reworking of VII. Enjoy!
