about

The mighty Bawrut returns to Ransom Note Records with his incredible new record, Raqs EP. The follow up to his debut album on R$N, In The Middle, Our Man In Madrid discharges four weapons grade club monsters that will, as the title suggests, have have bodies moving to and fro the world over.

In Bawrut’s own words: “Raqs means dance or dancing in Arabic. The need for dance in our society and it’s act of liberation is the focus of this new EP, where I explore a beloved place like the Mediterranean sea, mixing Arabic voices and Latin American rhythms, stabs, trance and flamenco.”

First single Que Quiere Usted wastes no time, entering the fray with a frantic clap assault that grows and evolves throughout the track, augmented by Bawrut’s trademark sparse, bouncy, synth lines. Hot on its heels, Draa Valley is a more understood affair, taking aim firmly at the dance floor. All driving drums and hooky vocal samples, it darts high and low before settling into that air-fist-punching final drop.

Azadi shows yet another side to our Bozza, this time treating us to a mechanical funk workout of epic proportions. It’s angular stabs are thoroughly danceable, punctuated by some vaguely human (but definitely robotic) vocals that liW us towards mechanised heaven.

Sonidero Usera closes proceedings with a more organic feel, opening with rainforest sounds interspersed with tribal drum patterns and cut up vocal stabs, which develops into a pummelling groove that is, quite literally, all singing, all dancing!
