Italian underground techno DJ and producer Flour started DJing around the age of 16, "playing 80s music in some lounge bars."

"At that time it was more of a passion than anything else," Flour says. "Production came later, in 2021 during the pandemic, and that’s when I truly felt it was my calling."

Flour describes his sound as a fusion of energy and atmosphere.

"I like to create something that is not only powerful, but also emotional and immersive, almost like a journey," he says. "I always try to tell a story, to create something that can stay with the listener. In every track, there’s a part of my soul. If I had to describe it in a few words, I would say epic, cinematic, emotional, and at the same time powerful."

Flour's latest release is the Fallen Angel EP.

"[It] represents both a milestone and an evolution of my sound," he says. "I always try to create a connection between the tracks, as if it were a story that listeners are free to interpret in their own way.
It’s a project I’m truly proud of because it fully represents my musical vision. I’m really grateful to Amelie Lens and the entire Exhale team for giving me the opportunity once again to express who I am and how I see music."

As for gear: "In the studio I mainly use Ableton Live along with plugins like Serum 2 and FabFilter. I also use my Native Instruments Kontrol S49 MK3 MIDI keyboard to create melodies. For DJing, I enjoy playing on CDJ 3000s with a Pioneer DJM A9 mixer, but also the V10. For headphones, I use AIAIAI TMA 2."

Looking ahead, Flour has plenty planned for 2026.

"In the coming months I have a lot of new music planned," he says. "In July I’ll be making my debut at Tomorrowland the Atmosphere stage hosted by Exhale. That’s truly a dream coming true."
