Since his 2011 debut, Portuguese artist Trikk has carved out a reputation as an inventive electronic musician, inhabiting various musical guises across a miscellany of club-focused EPs for Drumcode, ManMakeMusic and Innervisions. On his latest release, Fauna & Flora, Trikk explores the creative potential of a full-length project for the first time, voyaging beyond the boundaries of the dancefloor towards uncharted stylistic terrain.
Produced in Innervisions label head Âme’s Berlin “hardware wonderland” of a studio, Fauna & Flora channels post-punk’s restless malaise into hard-edged, invigorating electronic music that wears its DIY spirit on its sleeve. We caught up with Trikk to find out more about how the album was made, his unique approach to sampling and his ardent love of FL Studio.
