This was the first track I created under this particular alter ego, I just thought I’d see what I could come up with =)
Previously I had been creating mainly uptempo electronic music - sort of tech-house and techno stuff, for several years under a different name, but wanted to start something else that was a bit more downtempo and chilled out. That was back in 2012, which was kind of the beginning of where I am at the moment.
The title ‘Flashbacks’ relates to a time before even all the dances stuff, in a previous period of downtempo-ness, although in those days (aka the 90s) it was more kind of acid jazz and trip-hop stuff - which is nothing like this track. So this was kind of going back to that time (maybe one day I’ll go further back to my time as a percussionist in a samba band, enough about that for now though).
Originally put out just as a free to stream track on various platforms as I didn’t think of actually releasing it in 2012. However, after a few more years ‘Flashbacks’ would make it onto a release as the second track on the ‘Which Way Are You Going?’ single from 2017.

Thanks for listening!
If you have trouble listening on dsound you can listen on the following platforms:

All types of music appeal to me, particularly the more relaxed genres - chillout, ambient, downtempo, trip hop, jazz, latin, IDM, etc. Usually I will create downtempo electronic tracks, although I go through phases where it gets a bit more upbeat, just whatever I happen to be feeling at the time.

“Skaarl is not only a great artist but very supportive of others on the platform, top bloke” - The Turtle Project
“Skaarl is a Cool Cat and a great musician. He pulls great heavy driving music out of his pocket and slaps you. Soft at 1st. His track ‘I Fear The Robots’ with Juxta says it all.” - wav-Dr.
“Skaarl has affectionately acquired various nicknames in the first couple of months in EMA but the main ones we refer to him as are “Trouser Man”, “Señor Trouser Man” and “Don Skaarlioni”! We’re surprised he doesn’t mention this in his bio below but we’ll leave it up to the man himself to tell you more!” - EMA
