Band Biography :
Australia, 2004: Merging live musicians with a pile of electronics and sampling,
Flow Dynamics is the latest project of Dave McKinney, a founding member of
Rhibosome - the live electronic act supported by Mr Scruff, Nik Weston, Russ
Dewbury, Adrian Gibson, and Yabe UFO. Rewinding back to 1992, Dave was at uni
studying marine biology, but after hearing mad stories of South America he
travelled to Brasil for a year where the music, culture and energy completely
blew his mind. When Dave got home the music bug was itching so heavily he
deferred his uni and jumped headlong into music. He started playing capoeira
with Mestre Jorge (Samba de Roda) and eventually became a core member of
traditional Brasilian percussion outfit Ogun Brasil playing Batucada, Pagode,
Bossas and Afro Bloco. Around this time, Dave was also getting right into
samplers, drum machines, dj-ing, and anything electronic with a hint of soul or
funk. By 1997 he had formed a full studio production team with Clayton Chipper
called Rhibosome, and after writing a series of electronic soundtracks for live
theatre shows, they soon morphed into a full band and hit the stage. Since then,
Rhibosome has played live shows all over Australia including supports for
Coldcut, Rae & Christian, Faze Action, Norman Jay, Ashley Beedle, Jose Padilla,
Wiseguys, Freestylers, Aphrodite, Groove Armada, Jamiroquai, Dj Shadow,
Ozomatli, Roger Sanchez, & the Scratch Perverts, and at festivals like Vibes on
a Summers Day, Gatecrasher, Breakfest, Ministry of Sound, Livid, Splendour in
the Grass and the Big Day Out. Rhibosome has forthcoming releases on Freestyle
Records (UK) in 2004, as well as past releases on Offworld Sounds (Aust),
Hydrofunk/Virgin (Aust) and Marble Bar (UK). Rhibosome has also remixed Indian
percussionist Trilok Gurtu, Aboriginal musician Richard Walley, Zimbabwean
outfit African Music Congress, and Australian beats producer Katalyst. Dave has
also spent a lot of time dj-ing playing funk, hip hop, house, broken beats and
afro and latin tunes. You can hear some of Dave’s dj-ing selections on the Funk
Truck Mixtape Series Volumes 1-4. In 2004 Dave started the new Flow Dynamics
outfit and the debut album is taking shape as a mashed-up mix of funk, hiphop,
breaks, house, drum & bass, broken beats and heavy percussion - new Australian
tunes taking in influences from London, New York, Sao Paulo, Tokyo, Berlin,
Perth, and everywhere in between… The project is already attracting plenty of
attention in Australia, UK & Europe. Release info coming soon.
