Flamingo Pier

The following interview was conducted on September 24, 2026
Flamingo Pier have always been about connection - between people, places, rhythms and moments - so it feels only right to invite them Back To Mine as they enter a new chapter. Fresh from announcing their second album Woven Together, the New Zealand-born, London-shaped trio of Luke Walker, Dom Jones and Brad Craig arrive with a decade of dancefloor craft behind them and a renewed sense of purpose guiding what comes next. Their sound has travelled from Waiheke Island sunshine to warehouse-floor sweat, picking up electronic heft, live band musicality and a signature melodic warmth along the way. With Woven Together they refine that identity into something confident, spacious and glowing from the inside out - a record built on groove, clarity and the percussive pulse of their roots. As their singles hint at the album's breadth, Flamingo Pier step fully into global focus, ready to share the music, memories and influences that shaped their journey.
This is Flamingo Pier, after hours - the sounds they reach for when the crowd has gone home, the lights are dimmed, and the night still has stories left to tell.
Pablo Color - Parasol (7pm)
This Balearic jam manages to be melancholic AND uplifting. I wanna be sailing along the mediterranean drinking a spritz when I hear this
Don Brown - Don't Lose Your Love
Blue eyed soul, this one is all the good bits of yacht rock. Tasty jam
Birdsnake - Scintillate in a Dark Blue Light
Discovered this chuggy number from Melbourne group Birdsnake recently and it's super tasteful with plenty of low end power. Not surprised as Melbourne is a city of good taste - we had a really fun show playing there last year and are heading back in Jan 2027
Massimiliano Pagliara - Cool Breeze
Love a bit of moody italo and this one has the perfect combination of warm chords and drum machine push. We really like Massimiliano Pagliara's productions
Stevie Wonder - Jesus Children Of America
Stevie's run of albums in the 70's is so inspiring to us. This one is powerful and groovy and a bit dark
Marvin Gaye - Praise
Keeping on the 70's soul tip. This is a lush joy to listen to and the B section is just beautiful. Guaranteed to put a smile on your face
Johnny Blue Skies & The Dark Clouds - Make America Fuk Again
Imagine the sound of Talking Heads, ZZ Top and Johnny Cash collaborating and you might get close to this. It's a bit country, it's a bit disco and we're into it
Gelli Haha - Normalize
Another new discovery this year, we really love Gelli Haha's album Switcheroo. It's got NY indie disco flavour but in a super fresh way and her live show looks like a lot of fun
Romi Wrights - Quick To Forget
Romi Wrights is a soul singer from Aotearoa New Zealand that released her fantastic debut album 'Andy' this year. Great songs that are incredibly well produced, a real gem of a record!
Julia mestre - Maravilhosamente Bem
This feels fresh, groovy and undeniably sexy. The Brazilians know what's up
