DJ/producer Stacey Pullen is reviving his Blackflag Recordings label with his new EP, ‘M€$O’, marking the first release since 2019.
The title, ‘M€$O’, is a tribute to ‘Mesopotamia’, an 80’s track from The B-52’s that Pullen has sampled. The title track launches the EP with a mix of engaging rhythms, dynamic percussion, and distorted vocals. The EP also features a simplified ‘Sub Mix’ and a pulsating track called ‘Strutt’. Brazilian artist Jamie Coins, known for his work with Revival New York and Organic Pieces, adds an engaging reinterpretation of the track.
Pullen has been a central figure in Detroit’s electronic music scene since the 90s, making a significant global impact under the mentorship of the Belleville Three. He established Blackflag Recordings in 1998 as a platform for ‘free speech, thought, and sound’, pioneering ‘abstract aesthetics’ in music.
