Alexander Flood – ‘Artifactual Rhythm’: A Jazztronica Journey Through Dancefloor Rhythms
Following the success of his singles Life Is A Rhythm and Can’t Get Enough, Australian drummer and beat-master Alexander Flood unveils his highly anticipated new album, Artifactual Rhythm. Set for release on 04 April 2025, this dynamic project reinterprets club and DJ music through the organic energy of a live jazz-infused band.
A Fusion of Electronic & Live Music
At the core of Artifactual Rhythm is a deep connection to the dancefloor—drawing from house, UK garage, drum & bass, and broken beat, while infusing them with the improvisational spirit of jazz. The album’s title itself reflects Flood’s artistic approach: “artifactual” means made by human hands, a theme he explores by transforming inherently electronic styles into raw, live performances.
Recorded in Naarm/Melbourne with Top-Tier Musicians
Engineered, mixed, and co-produced by Lewis Moody (Energy Exchange Records), Artifactual Rhythm boasts a lineup of Australia’s finest musicians, including:
- Erica Tucceri (flute)
- Finn Rees (keyboards)
- Dylan Paul (bass)
The album also features standout vocal performances from:
- Cazeaux O.S.L.O on Life Is A Rhythm
- Kara Manasala on UK garage-inspired Don’t Wait 4 Me
- Vivian Sessoms on Can’t Get Enough, bringing classic house energy
Pushing the Boundaries of Jazz & Club Music
Blurring the lines between nu-jazz, jazztronica, and jazz house, Artifactual Rhythm is a bold exploration of rhythm, groove, and sonic storytelling. By tapping into the nostalgia of 90s and 2000s club sounds while keeping his vision firmly in the present, Alexander Flood has created an album that speaks to both dancers and deep listeners alike.
Whether you’re a jazz lover, house head, or beat enthusiast, Artifactual Rhythm delivers a fresh, high-energy experience that celebrates the fusion of electronic and live music. Mark your calendars for 4 April 2025, and prepare for an album that redefines the future of jazz-infused dance music.
