A decade after its original release, Flako's seminal debut album Natureboy returns for its first-ever reissue on vinyl in a special 10th anniversary edition. In 2015, Natureboy emerged as a rare bloom in the electronic underground -- a record that defied genre and expectation. Hailed by Bleep as "one of the most startlingly unique and original releases" and crowned their album of the year, it still stands as one of the most singular, emotive, and genre-defying releases of its era. The debut full-length from Natureboy Flako (aka Dario Rojo Guerra, also known as soul singer Dirg Gerner on Floating Points and Alexander Nut's Eglo label) pushed beyond beat music into something panoramic. Merging classical structures, sampledelic textures, and electronic experimentation with threads of his South American upbringing, Flako created a richly cinematic sound world, with echoes of folk, cumbia, and soul woven through dense synth-driven futurism. Featuring stunning contributions from Miguel Atwood-Ferguson and Dirg Gerner's own evocative vocals, Natureboy balances orchestral beauty with deep electronic textures and intricate beat science, creating an immersive sound universe like no other. Its scope remains astonishing: from the meditative glow of "Gelis," with its sunrise-like chords and delicate percussion, to the energetic drive of "Kuku," where shimmering synths and rolling grooves open into one of the album's most expansive surges. This 10th anniversary edition includes vinyl-only B-sides and other rarities, offering a window into the wider creative universe surrounding the album. After selling out quickly in 2015, Natureboy returns as a limited reissue -- reintroducing a modern classic to new ears while celebrating its enduring influence.

"Imagine Plantasia was an animated film narrated by Jacque Cousteau and the musical score reminds you of your favorite library record. Ambitus Of Beauty invites you on yet another beautiful and timeless full-length journey through various magic moments, scenes and soundscapes created by Natureboy Flako. You will be floating on a vast stream of memories, ideas, thoughts, wishes and feelings translated into sound while your mind starts dancing gracefully and is likely to drift into nothing and everything at the same time. Carefully crafted with a great sense of oneness, this album is offering a mind travel to focus and re-calibrate. Music heals! For fans of Plantasia (Mort Garson), Brian Eno, Suzanne Ciani, Vangelis or Ryuichi Sakamoto."

Dario Rojo Guerra, aka Natureboy Flako, is back with a new six-song EP. Natureboy Flako is a collection of music culled from over 200 recording sessions since Guerra moved from London to Berlin in late 2015. Natureboy Flako uses old analog equipment, as well as newer instruments. Where previous songs relied on overdubs, most of these songs were recorded in one take, with little overdubbing, making it his most live record to date. The A side features some of the heaviest tracks he's made and the cinematic B side is made up of more reflective compositions.
