With an incipient career and only one released album, many artists are coming out in the desired show business universe:
those who can get a high position in charts and appear on radios and music video channels without leaving behind their own —more or less— avant-garde aesthetic. Short careers but with a big future.
Flowmi picked five artists to watch, discover and, maybe, become a fan of.
In November, Get Physical celebrates its 100th release, which will pit some of its best artists in what the tech-house label calls Battle Tracks (the same track produced or remixed by two different artists). Some of the artists are M.A.N.D.Y., DJ T, Booka Shade, and other international artists such as Italoboyz or Nôze.
Carlos Alfonsín, Spitfire, Romina Cohn, Entre Ríos, Axel Krigier, Bad Boy Orange, Deep Mariano, Bicicletas, Banda de Turistas, Facu Carri and Fabián Dellamónica, among others, are the confirmed Argentine artists that will perform at Creamfields Buenos Aires on Novemberl 8.
Apart from being the musical curator of his own radio show HipHopMix (broadcasted on Kosiuko Radio) and resident DJ at several Buenos Aires clubs, DJ Stuart also recommends artists. In this new Flowmi's Top 5, he picks the new urban music talents.
It is impossible to relive two days, ten stages, and more than 160 artists performing with
only one photo gallery. So Flowmi presents the second set of photos taken at
Creamfields UK 2008.

As if it were the photographic version of a reality show, the New Yorker Todd Selby made People in their Spaces, a series of photos displaying artists, writers, actors, designers and musicians at their own homes. It is simultaneously an exercise of voyeurism and a decoration portfolio with the mark of the author. Tom Wolfe, Marvin Jarrett (Nylon Magazine), and the video director Georgie Greyville are among the photographed artists. Inspiring!
Before appearing on magazine covers, on the MySpace most listened to artists list, or on TV video channels, some artists are already making good music and seem to be the new stars in the big universe of new sounds. Flowmi has chosen 5 artists that have recently released their first album or are about to do so. Check them out!
Since Mecha, George and Quique met while they were studying Visual Art, apart from sharing the same taste in music -which led them to form Manta Raya, - they also share the same aesthetic criterion, which is manifested in their live shows and in this list of artists with the best looks they have exclusively made for Flowmi, which includes photos specially picked by them.
