A forgotten creation from the short-lived group Women I Trust. Their only take on the classic Lamma bada yatathanna, reimagined in shoegaze and dreampop colors. A rare fragment that almost disappeared.

Derry Charleman’s unfinished jazz-comedy piece Messi Dribble (originally Je vape je vape). Never released for rights reasons, but this rare recording still carries its playful charm.

Jennifer Lebon gives voice to À l’âge où l’on me range, a theatrical and sarcastic piece originally written for Anissa Boualem. Refused by others, it survived here as a rare, powerful statement of solitude and freedom.

Lotus Pastel’s rare demo of Dark Orbit (originally by DA-PHONK). Unfinished yet haunting, it drifts through empty space like a lost signal, fragile and spectral.

Dark Orbit (Da-Phonk Cover)

An unfinished collaboration between Da-Phonk and an unnamed singer, maybe Emma Hope. No Time in the City remains a fleeting sketch, lost in the cracks of the night.

No Time in the City (Deleted version)

Derry Charlemagne revisits "Sous la Douche, Devant le Monde" by Anissa Boualem. A modern French vintage jazz reinterpretation, unfinished yet alive with a neo-jazz intimacy.

Sous la Douche, Devant le Monde (Anissa Boualem Cover)

Da-Phonk’s deleted track a squeezed ball, removed from the album due to restrictions. A dirty, raw cut that survived only as a rare hidden piece.

A Squeezed Ball

Ride, Ride is a rare shoegaze trip-hop version of He Took the Oath by The Bartenders, sung by Nikita Tequila. A spectral take on oaths, betrayal, and the preacher’s slow procession. This unreleased demo was later replaced by the official cut with Emme Hope.

Ride, Ride (Shoegaze version)

BBG unveils his signature melody in WIAW, an Afro house instrumental led by BabyG. More than a demo, it became an anthem, a motif that reappears across his tracks.

WIAW

DA-PHONK’s Yellow was pulled from the official dark album because it was too bright and too different. Instead it found life on rare_version, where the whole city glows in yellow.

YELLOW

Rif Kif Dubman’s unreleased demo Never Too Late. A raw Dub Breakbeat Trip-hop experiment, sarcastic in tone, hidden away until now and brought back through rare_version.

Never Too Late

Rif Kif Dubman’s hidden demo Later, a Dub Breakbeat Trip-hop track that never made it to release. A raw and playful groove, kept alive through rare_version.

Later

Nabil C. delivers. A smooth Neo-soul / RnB take on Could it Be. A warm, intimate version that never made it to the official releases, hidden until now through rare_version.

Could It Be (Neo-soul Version)

A rare unreleased cover of Fairuz’s “Ahwak Bila Amal”, reimagined by Maladonna under the shortened title “Ahwak”. A hidden tribute, never shared publicly, preserved only through rare_version.

Ahwak (أهواك)

People’s King is a deep house reinterpretation of BBG’s People, performed by Nikita Tekila. The track carries a hypnotic cadence, where the original invocation becomes a mantra set against pulsing bass and layered trance textures. Voices repeat like echoes in a chamber, invoking both the sacred and the spectral.

This version was never released officially, preserved only through rare_version, where the tension between devotion and delirium remains suspended in sound.

People (BBG cover)

I Walk the Line and Shake the Curse shows Dark Earl stepping outside her usual orbit. The track is driven by deep house and trance currents, carrying spoken invocations that blur into echoes of fear and release. It is less Sedna’s cold transmission than a human rite, a piece where shadows whisper and sparks erupt.

This version stands apart from the main body of Dark Earl’s work. It lives only within rare_version, a detour that exposes another face of her sound.

I Walk the Line and Shake the Curse

rare_version is a label for what hides between the lines. Lost takes, demos, deleted cuts, and fragments that were never meant to be seen. Nothing polished, nothing staged. Just rare moments, released as they are.
