O’Flynn ‘Fara’ Review: The Evolution of a London Electronic Icon

O’Flynn’s New Single ‘Fara’ is a Deep Dive into Texture and Rhythm

There’s a specific kind of magic in an O’Flynn track. It’s that rare middle ground where a song feels technical enough to impress the gear-heads, yet soulful enough to work a sunrise set at a festival. His latest single, ‘Fara,’ is a perfect reminder of why he’s become a “producer’s producer.”

If you’ve been following the London scene over the last few years, O’Flynn isn’t exactly a secret. From his early days being championed by Four Tet and Bonobo to his breakout moments on Ninja Tune, he’s consistently stayed ahead of the curve. While The Guardian famously called his work “dance floor dynamite,” ‘Fara’ feels like a more nuanced evolution of that energy.

Beyond the Hype

It’s been a few years since his debut album Aletheia dropped, a record that managed to do the impossible: dominate the underground while somehow winning over mainstream critics. That album led to a massive 18-date UK tour and proved that O’Flynn wasn’t just another “newcomer” (as Boiler Room once put it), but a cornerstone of the UK electronic landscape.

With ‘Fara,’ we see him leaning back into his own imprint, Hundred Flowers. The track feels personal—less about chasing a chart trend and more about exploring those rich, organic textures that made us fall in love with his sound in the first place.

Why ‘Fara’ Hits Different

  • The Percussion: It’s crisp, polyrhythmic, and distinctly London.

  • The Mood: It carries that signature O’Flynn warmth—complex but never cluttered.

  • The Versatility: This is as much a “headphones-on-the-train” track as it is a “3 AM-in-the-booth” weapon.

O’Flynn has always had a knack for making electronic music feel human. ‘Fara’ is just the latest proof that he’s still operating in a lane of his own. If you’re looking for a track that captures the current pulse of the UK underground, this is it.
