Fresh Kicks 61: Flash 89

Flash 89 hits our Fresh Kicks series with a dose of high energy tech-house!

The 28-year-old Dutch-Australian has been working in the DJ circuit down under for the past six years, but after getting to work in the studio his remix of 'Go Bang' by PNAU blew up and his production career kicked off.

This Friday (23rd February) sees Flash — real name: Paul Kranenburg — drop his debut original single 'Generate', a sultry slice of grooving tech-house built to smash dancefloors at the likes of Elrow and Paradise.

To warm up for the release, Flash has headed back to the decks and turned out a pumping Fresh Kicks mix, featuring tracks from YENI, Kinnerma, and countryman Sonny Fodera, plus a selection of his own unreleased material. Check it out in full at the bottom of the page!
