A.k.a. Flamingo Overlord Jamie Behan Stephen Mahoney

Shadowy Irish duo flexing angular techno on the verges of the Irish clubscene. Born out of a mutual passion for rough, pure and incisive techno, Flexure is a collaboration between Irish DJs Jamie Behan and Stephen Mahoney, whose productions incorporate influences from Techno, Acid, Electro, and Chicago House, different forms of music which have shaped their vision of techno. These influences can be heard on their debut EP "Shadow Puppets", forthcoming on Behan's "Bastardo Electrico" label, with 4 tracks of slamming, dark, mechanical, sometimes abstract yet strangely funky techno, with Detroit techno sitting next to dark industrial and UK loops mixed with the jack of Chicago, which have garnered support from the likes of Dave Clarke, Ben Sims, Truss, Sunil Sharpe, and John Heckle to name a few. Both Behan and Mahoney have been DJing since the mid-90s. Behan has been at the forefront of the Irish techno scene for the last 15 years as the promoter and resident DJ at Ireland's longest running techno night Bastardo Electrico, playing in clubs across Ireland every weekend, and is a fixture on the Irish festival circuit. Further afield he has made appearances at Dimensions Festival and Amsterdam Dance Event, and has gained a formidable reputation for his fast paced DJ sets at clubs all over Europe. Mahoney's DJ sets are equally fast paced and intense with a depth of emotion and atmosphere born of his artistic character and his own productions on Coincidence Records and his own label Shelter have been supported by heavy-hitters such as Marcel Dettmann, Ben Sims, Ilario Alicante, Andrea, and Anthony Parasole. Together as Flexure, Behan and Mahoney play on 4 decks and 2 mixers, with each record working in interaction with each other, creating a sound that is constantly evolving and changing, whilst also incorporating drum machines and 303s for spontaneous bursts of raw, live, hardware driven techno.
