Flowering Inferno - No Soy Del Valle ( Nickodemus & Zeb Remix ) ( 2012 )

Flowering Inferno is a musical project created by British producer and musician Will "Quantic" Holland. The project is part of his broader work under the Quantic name but has a distinct focus on blending Latin American sounds with reggae, dub, and Caribbean influences. Flowering Inferno started as an exploration of the tropical, relaxed rhythms of cumbia, salsa, and dub, creating a laid-back, groove-heavy fusion of these styles.

The first Flowering Inferno album, "Death of the Revolution", was released in 2008, followed by "Dog with a Rope" in 2010. Both albums were well-received for their innovative mix of genres and their ability to merge the rich musical traditions of Latin America with the deeper, bass-driven sounds of dub and reggae. Holland recorded much of the Flowering Inferno material while living in Colombia, drawing inspiration from the local music scene and collaborating with Latin American musicians.

The music of Flowering Inferno has a distinct tropical vibe, featuring vibrant horns, guitars, and traditional percussion, combined with deep basslines and dub production techniques. The result is a sound that’s both relaxing and dynamic, appealing to fans of world music, reggae, and dub. Flowering Inferno remains a celebrated project in Quantic's diverse and prolific catalog of genre-blending music.
