Barcelona’s Bassel Darwish drops two thumping tracks ‘Bust & Shake EP’ on Solid Grooves Records to conclude a pivotal year for the label.

Having released on labels like Lemon-aid, NoExcuse, Natura Viva and Natural Rhythm, the Spanish producer has undoubtedly earned his stripes as a producer ‘ a fact further enforced by regular support from Marco Carola, Stefano Noferini, wAFF and PAWSA. He now joins Solid Grooves Records, Michael Bibi and PAWSA’s thriving imprint that’s seen a landmark year with releases from Dennis Cruz, Leftwing & Kody, ANOTR and Brett Gould.

With catchy lyrics and sharp snares, ‘Bust & Shake’ is an archetypal Solid Grooves cut complete with energetic percussion and a rolling bassline. Meanwhile, ‘Let’s Go’ serves up a compelling groove with echoing drums, soulful vocals and a sultry low-end.
