flirty800 Announces New EP Strip: Hear “Smoke”

flirty800 is the project of New York-based producer and DJ Wade Harley Harris, who's done sets at Basement, Paragon, and the Lot Radio. Last year, he released his debut EP My Mind, which was grungy and dark (he described the vibe as "slut grunge summer"). Now he's announcing its followup Strip, whose lead single "Smoke" is out today. This time, he's going full club mode.

"After making something really personal and emotional, I wanted this project to be the opposite — fast, raw, and instinctive," Harris says in a press release. "It's minimal, almost primitive in a way. If there's a message at all, it's simple: You should be shaking your ass."

A motto to live by. "Smoke" is indeed instinctive — the track is full of empty space, buzzing with sparse, sporadic sounds that dictate the atmosphere. You can easily imagine the song unfurling and slowly spreading through a room... like, well, smoke. Listen below.

TRACKLIST:
01 "Smoke"
02 "Up"
03 "No Case"
04 "Oohbaby"
05 "Run It Back"
