With releases on Blip Discs, Ninja Tune, and his own imprint Hundred Flowers, O'Flynn's productions have garnered support from Four Tet, Ben UFO, Gilles Peterson, James Blake and Bonobo — along with key editorial platform endorsements such as Boiler Room and The Guardian, the latter championing him as "dance floor dynamite."
2019 saw the release of O'Flynn's debut album 'Aletheia' on Silver Bear Recordings, where he rounded of the year with an 18 date UK album tour. The album is a celebration of O'Flynn's dexterous production skills, firmly establishing his reputation within dance music's underground scene, whilst crossing over to garner mainstream critical acclaim and a legion of new fans from the wider electronic music community.
O'Flynn's follow-up solo studio offering 'Talia' landed in 2021. Released on his own label's sister imprint — Panthus — the inaugural single drew the attention of key editorial platforms including Beatportal & Magnetic Mag.
Following on from his inclusion in Bonobo's mix for the esteemed Fabric compilation series, O'Flynn collaborated on 'Otomo' — released towards the end of 2021 and a key contribution to the Fragments album. Simon Greene (pka Bonobo) highlighted this collaboration as a "dynamic shift (…) with a dancefloor-ready drum section" and "one of his favourites from the album." Coming full circle, O'Flynn joined Bonobo as main support for the US run of the 2022 Fragments Album Tour.
O'Flynn teamed up with long-time collaborator Frazer Ray (FKA Soundbwoy Killah) to release their collaborative album 'Shimmer' out on Ninja Tune imprint Technicolour. The record arrives as a result of the producers' love for the UK dance music scene, from speed garage to breaks and hardcore, their vast knowledge and respect for underground cultures and genres shine through as a direct influence. Overall, it's a heartfelt and nostalgic homage to iconic UK nightclubs and the escapism they provide. 'Satyr,' 'You Need Me' and 'Holsten' — lead singles taken form the album — all received strong radio support across BBC R1, along with editorial pick-ups from Resident Advisor and DJ Mag, with the latter reviewing the album as: "a perfect cocktail of soaring emotions and bottom-heavy bass culled from the UK hardcore continuum."
Additional 2022 touring highlights include a 5-week sold out Phonox Residency, sets at FLY Open Air, Colour Factory, Warehouse Project & Boiler Room — appearances at Lost Village & Pukkelpop festivals, and a debut live show celebrating the release of 'Shimmer' at iconic London venue, EartH — rounding off the year with a solo UK headline tour across 11 cities.
2023 sees O'Flynn return to his much-loved fun, disco-tinged sound palette whilst also embracing his more percussive roots, exploring new textures and methods within his creative output, including working with select songwriters. On the live front, key performances include a sold-out headline show at London's iconic KOKO, a Fabric debut, a US tour joining the likes of Ross From Friends and Nikki Nair and a string of festival bookings across the UK & EU including Lost Village and Wildeburg Festival.
