Out now on Human By Default: lnk.to/HBD015

DakhaBrakha is a quartet from Kyiv, Ukraine, experimenting with Ukrainian folk music since the group's inception in 2004, combining an array of instruments from around the world with powerful and uncompromising vocal performances. For the latest release on their ever-impressive Human By Default imprint, label heads Bedouin rework four tracks from DakhaBrakha’s catalogue, fusing the captivating vocals and instrumentation of the quartet with their pitch-perfect production.

Leading the A-side is their reinterpretation of ‘Salgir Boyu’, with shuffling percussion and organic loops providing the backdrop for stunning elements of the original to shine. The rework of ‘A Doshchuk Nakrapaye’ follows, with DakhaBrakha’s vocals fading in and out of the background as Bedouin’s gentle synthesis and evolving drums carry the track. On the flip, ‘Svyryd’ sees hypnotic drones and bright shakers evolve alongside a rolling bassline before closer ‘Yahudky’ seeks more electronic territories, bringing tense strings and unfurling synths together to see out the release.

OUT NOW // OTUN https://orcd.co/hbd055

Citrus Age spins up sets of dusty deep house and slow techno that connect the personal to the ethereal, and the wild to the tender.

As a lifelong musician in pursuit of exceptional vibrations, Citrus was initially drawn to dance music by the heady and sparkling sounds emanating from the art cars of Black Rock City. Citrus Age began DJing in 2019 and quickly became a resident for Seattle deep house collective Reflect, playing parties throughout the Pacific Northwest. Always one to hold a vision, he led the Reflect collective into their current form as a crew changing the shape of deep, melodic music in the Pacific Northwest through their open air parties, micro festivals and club nights that feature bespoke line-ups of local and international talent.

Citrus Age's selections integrate compelling, steady rhythms, intricate and sublime melodies, and a definite sensuality. These sensibilities, held within the context of the party, make for sets that raise the vibration on the dance floor and invite everyone to turn on, tune in and come together.
