Belly Dance Services garnishes late summer season with VARIOUS WORLDWIDE III – it’s the third VA chapter featuring five different artists from across the globe.

The journey starts with Tel Aviv based producer LOTT. CAMELS DON’T RUSH, is a great opener driven by one chunky bassline blended with acidic synth elements. A massive tune that shows LOTT’s talent to fuse eastern sounds with western house music inspired elements.

Track two comes from DUCATI FLUX, he’s the Co-Label-Head of Berlin based Odd Pleasures and half of Random Atlas. With NAHUAL, the virtuoso of chilean origin gifted us with a catchy dark tune that is full of playfulness and shows the catchy creative side of the producer.

The third track comes from berliner HEIDENREICH featuring singer OBENOHNI. THE OPPOSITE OF EVERYTHING is not just the name of the song, it’s also what this indie stepper musically stands for. A psychedelic voyage driven by sudden suspense, and also the intense vocal elements make you feel like in a interactive dance cabaret.

The fourth masterpiece comes straight from Amsterdam by PERDU who recently had his release on Live At Robert Johnson. IS IT YOU, FEAR? is a gloomy obscure composition that is guided by percussive elements and builds up to a banquet of trippy grooves.

The final countdown is delivered by Mexican ULISES ARRIETA. CONSTRUCTIONS is dark disco at it’s purest manner: metallic drums creating a sticking melody and the vocal samples that reappear… will make the crowd go bonkers. 

Tracklist:

1) Lott - Camels Don't Rush
2) Ducati Flux - Nahual
3) Heidenreich & ObenOhni - The Opposite Of Everything
4) Perdu - Is It You, Fear?
5) Ulises Arrieta - Constructions

VARIOUS WORLDWIDE III

Is It You, Fear?

PREMIERE: Perdu - Is It You, Fear? [Belly Dance Services]

In Red Eye, eponymous track of the EP, the first thing noticed has to be the jumpy beat,made of a UK vibe with an energetic kick pattern. The track being constructed, severalmelodic details are steadily introduced, dark horns forecast the arrival of a powerfulbassline and deliver the energy conveyed in the tune. The whole is later completed byunderwater (clin-d’oeil like to Hold Your Breath?) or space-like melodies.

[PREMIERE] Andreas Rund - Red Eye (Original Mix)

Artist: https://soundcloud.com/switchdance, https://soundcloud.com/rinalive, https://soundcloud.com/jonathan-kusuma
Track: Give Way
Label: https://soundcloud.com/durolabel
Format: Digital, EP
Release date: 19/11/21

Duro is honored to present the birth of the “Baba” brotherhood. During the last pandemic year, Rina traveled from Tel Aviv to Portugal, where he met Switchdance. After some trips around the beautiful city of Lisbon, plates and plates of hummus and samosa, a visit to pick up raspberries at a field that used to be a medicinal cannabis farm and lots of hours in Switchdance's studio, 'Baba Music Vol. 1' was alive.
This eclectic EP consist of two original mixes consummating the brotherhood with an embellishment by Jakarta's master Jonathan Kusuma who came up with two versions of "Give Way".  Our pick here fells second version where Kusuma brings up a futuristic and dystopian dub masterpiece, with distorted bass lines, shady vocals and liquid percussion.

🔊 https://youtu.be/9ci1_F94odo

For the debut digital EP on Viscera Transmissions, Komodo spreads his wings and takes his signature low slung psychedelica to the stars, to reap destruction on extraterrestrial dancefloors across the cosmos.

Title track Mirror Claws begins an ember in the desert, slowly stoked by guitar chord stabs and eerie screeches towards a slow yet inevitable psychedelic inferno.

For Night Crawler, the guitar steps back into co-pilot role as the acid bass takes the saddle, spurring the squelch dragon off into the void with a crack of the 303 whip.

Next up is Vanquished Angst with a dubby desert rock workout. Blazing guitar solos tear across the sky like thunderbolts whilst the hypnotic bassline and guitar progression burn through the dunes.

On the flip, Jonny Rock re-dubs the dub with his Vanquished Angst Dragon Remix. No slightly questionable guitar metaphors here, instead, a mind melting whirlpool of spiraling percussion, vocal quips, bass throbs and pads form a completely bonkers but brilliant piece.

Last but certainly not least, Chez de Milo arms Night Crawler with some serious ordnance. After changing up the beat pattern with a breaksy kick, electro warheads are ago, clearing the way for the original 303 line to cruise through. Heavy!

Credits: Thanks to Komodo for the amazing music in support of our new label, Jonny Rock & Chez de Milo for the delicious remixes, James Savage for the incredible masters, Kirsty Carrington for the gorgeous illustration and to Jessica Lau for digital design.

@radondo

First with ‘Alone’ a slow but intense track, filled with dark synths that make you remember Blade Runner’s soundtrack. A dry and strong beat with a super heavy snare, driven by a catchy synth bass and an amazing choir lead.

Radondo - Alone (Original Mix) - [Fucanglong Files]

Home had been a distant memory for the last few months; only sun, sea and sand had filled her days. Going back seemed alien but she couldn't stay away forever, she had to face the music at some point. But arriving home, something didn't feel right. The house felt cold, unfamiliar and empty. The furniture and ornaments didn't feel as though they belonged to her anymore. It was as though these materialistic objects were a shadow of her former life, one she no longer connected with.

Madrid's Play Pal Music step back into the world of solo releases following their last compilation, the fifth instalment in their Pals compilation. They now draft in one of the artists who made an appearance on that last release for a new solo EP: Chilean producer and one half of production duo Random Atlas, Aural Trace. Made up of three original cuts, 'Die Blaue Stunde' opens with two pacy tracks that display his signature cosmic touch, while our pick 'Transmutación' slows things down, hypnotising the listener with its cinematic quality. Several of Play Pal's friends take care of the remixes, including Niv Ast, Teniente Castillo and Cabizbajo, who put their own personal spin on the originals.

“Do Saptaah” meaning “2 weeks” in hindu, was a hopeless wishful thinking; when last time TDOS and Yiannis were together in flesh and blood in feb. 2020 on Koh Chang island when humanity changed. It was supposed to last 2 weeks…

Yiannis has been part and parcel of the Hong Kong underground scene for over a decade and a half. Having made his name playing banging sets of techno and tech house as a resident of Yumla, Midnight & Co. and, currently OMA, Yiannis has also shared the decks in his native Greece with the likes of Sven Vath, Hernan Cattaneo, and Sasha.

Wearing his techno producer hat, his releases are found on local techno label Typhoon 8 Records, either in standalone appearances or team efforts with fellow Hong Kong producers. Of late, his musical alter ego found expression in performances alongside legendary Drum and Bass Hong Kong crew Marnetic Soul and slo mo electronic selections at The Music Room in PotatoHead Hong Kong.

Along the same tip, on this occasion Yiannis is extremely proud to collaborate with The Dude Of Stratosphear, one of Thailand’s prominent vinyl selectors, performers and producers in this slow burning, deep and escapist slo mo release. The inspiration came from shared sounds and sights in TDOS’s jungle-clad home, Yiannis’ trademark electronic footprint and a common affection for world music.

Tracklist:

01 Do Saptaah feat. Yannis (Hyperspace Vocal Mix)
02 Do Saptaah (Original Edit)

@skelesys @musique-daperitif
Based in Berlin, Skelesys is a versatile, ever-evolving and particularly cutting- edge artist. He’s a producer and live act with a strong musical background inspired by Hard Rock, Post-Punk, Synth Pop, science fiction and horror movies. His sound could be defined as haunted and effective, the result of a delicate and neat mixture of marked basses and guitar riffs always accompanied by thriller melodies and subtle grooves surrounded by darkness with a stripped down futuristic vibe. His latest EP it's called "Epsilon" came out on Oraculo Records on January 11th physically and digital via Oraculo Records bandcamp and it's already available for preorder
