After impressing with 2 EPs for Lost My Dog, and being awarded Mixmag’s ‘Tune Of The Month’ along the way, Latvian wonder-kid Artie Flexs presents his debut full length project ‘The Journey’. With 11 tracks in unmixed DJ friendly format and as a continuous mix, the attention is straight on the dancefloor. Artie’s crisp 4/4 beats, warm punching bass lines, infectious grooves and superbly crafted synth lines are in evidence from start to finish. ‘The Journey’ is available for free download simply by registering your details.

This EP is available on Beatport too as unmixed album:

Artie Flexs was born in Riga, Latvia. He started DJing in 2002, playing at small clubs in his hometown before securing a residency at a club called ‘4luv&$’ playing more mainstream music, as many DJs will admit to when first starting out. At the same time he began to produce music and started working with fellow Latvian DJ Abu (of V.S. Project) who opened Artie’s eyes to a wider selection of music including progressive house, tech house, minimal and breaks. In 2006 he took a big step up the DJ ladder, playing alongside leading Eastern European DJs such as DJ Vital, Mr. Djinn, and DJ Lite. 2007 was the year of definition for Artie, playing at famous events and club nights including Tonuss Club (Jelgava, Latvia), From Dusk Till Dawn (Tallinn, Estonia), and Wash My Brain (Rezekne, Latvia).  By early 2009 Artie’s music writing skills had also reached a more professional level and the first results were seen on Bedroom Muzik and Bashi Records in the spring of 2009. Shortly afterwards he contacted the UKs Lost My Dog label who have so far released 2 EPs and a remix with more in the pipeline.
