FLAMINGOSIS, the creative project of Aaron Velasquez - a New Jersey-raised and Brooklyn-based artist and producer known for fusing soul, funk, jazz, hip-hop, and electronic - has released the second single from Better Will Come, his new studio album due out later this spring. “Nebula Gazer”--out today, March 14 accompanied by an animated visualizer by Space Dawg–hinges on a clean funk riff and foot-stomping bass. Built around a core synth line, successive solos swirl across this galaxy in an intergalactic call-and-response.    LISTEN TO “NEBULA GAZER” HERE: https://lnk.dmsmusic.co/flamingosis_nebulagazer   WATCH THE VISUALIZER HERE: https://youtu.be/urMCa5Ps2xs   Says Aaron: “Nebula - A giant cloud of dust and gas in space. They are often star-forming regions. And in these regions, the formations of gas and dust clump together to form denser regions, which attract further matter and eventually become dense enough to form stars. Most nebulae are of vast size. Some are hundreds of light-years in diameter. A nebula that is visible to the human eye from Earth would appear larger, but no brighter, from close by. What am I trying to get at here? A nebula is BIG AS HELL. So much so, that it can make us feel SMALL AS HELL when we gaze up at that shit. So when presented with this information, you can go about it two different ways. You can say ‘Damn, I feel insignificant in the grand scheme of things, what's the point in even trying.’ Or you can say ‘Damn, I feel insignificant in the grand scheme of things. Which gives me a weird sense of confidence to work towards being a better version of myself and make the most of my time here on earth.’ Personally, I'd choose the latter when going about life.”   “Nebula Gazer” along with “Feel Yourself” featuring viral content creator Marc Rebillet will appear on Better Will Come, Flamingosis’ sixth studio album set for release May 10 on his own label Kahuna Style. In support, Velasquez will hit the road with a band for the very first time.

The Better Will Come Tour kicks off May 17 with a run of west coast dates including stops in Los Angeles, San Diego, San Francisco, Sacramento, Portland and Seattle, among others. Joining Flamingosis who can be found DJing and playing saxophone, will be The Bodega Groove Collective, an all-star band of musicians including Nico Jimenez on percussion (OPIUO live band), Ian Gilley on keys (DIASTRATA [formerly RECESS]), Drew Birch on guitar (DIASTRATA [formerly RECESS]) and Nate Miller on trumpet. The group–alongside occasional Bodega Groove Collective players Jeff Franca on drums (Thievery Corporation), Dan Africano on bass (Thievery Corporation), Drew Sayers on saxophone (The Motet) and Scott Flynn on trombone (ODESZA live band)–debuted their stage show recently in front of a sold-out crowd at Denver’s Cervantes Masterpiece Ballroom.   Check out a newly released video of Flamingosis and The Bodega Groove Collective performing “Flight Of The Flamingo” here.
