UPFRONTBEATS

Kamai Music founder Zigan Aldi joins Bedouin’s newly launched Human By Default imprint with an uplifting release entitled ‘Hella EP’.

Hailing from Turkey, the Berlin-based artist is renowned for incorporating organic instrumentation into his melodic productions and has released on labels like Underyourskin Records, TrueColors, 3000 Grad Records and Acker Records (dropping an album on the latter). His tracks have been regularly supported by Bedouin and he’s continually performed across the world alongside the label founder’s, notably at their Saga parties in Ibiza and New York.

Marking the second release on Human By Default, the tracks on this release have been played by Bedouin for quite some time and their official release has been highly anticipated. Opening with deep, entrancing rhythms and Joy Tyson’s vibrant vocals, ‘Hella’ opens the package in fine style before the percussively driven ‘Henna Beth’ follows with subtle risers, rattling drums and warm basslines. On the flip, ‘Other World’ flows with fluttering beats, soft flutes and synth patterns while vocalist Hakan Vreskala’s echoing voice chants generating a mesmerising atmosphere from start to finish.
