O’FLYNN MAKES HIS LONG-awaited Australian and New Zealand debut this
September, arriving with a new album that captures him at a defining
moment.For over a decade, O’Flynn has quietly become one of the
UK’s most respected producers and DJs, a singular voice in
contemporary electronic music, grounded in dexterous production and an
instinctive feel for the underground. His catalogue runs deep, shaped
by curiosity, and marked by collaborations with artists such as Bonobo
and Barry Can’t Swim.
Releasing music across Ninja Tune, Blip Discs, and his own imprint
Hundred Flowers, O’Flynn’s work has earned support from
tastemakers including Four Tet, Ben UFO, Gilles Peterson, and James
Blake.
A pivotal moment came via Bonobo’s Fabric mix, which led to the
collaborative track Otomo, a quietly monumental piece, and later saw
O’Flynn join Bonobo on tour. Around the same time, he released
Shimmer, a collaborative album with Frazer Ray via Ninja Tune’s
Technicolour imprint, praised by DJ Mag as “a perfect cocktail of
soaring emotions and bottom-heavy bass.”
O’Flynn completed a five-week sold-out residency at London’s
Phonox, followed by a sold-out headline show at KOKO and a sold-out UK
live tour in April, marking a clear step up in scale and demand.
In 2023, O’Flynn became a resident on Rinse FM, further cementing
his role as both curator and craftsman. More recently, he delivered
the inaugural release on Barry Can’t Swim’s Earth’s Only
Paradise label, two tracks that stretched from disco-lit dancefloors
to sharp-edged club pressure.
Now, O’Flynn returns with Kairos, his third full-length album,
released July 17 via his own Panthus label. Named for the ancient
Greek concept of the decisive moment, when conditions align, Kairos
feels exactly that: a record where club energy meets patience, detail,
and atmosphere. Music built for immersion.
This debut AU & NZ tour marks the arrival of an artist fully in his
stride, backed by an album rich in colour, tone, and intent.
