ALBUM
Beduin - Temple of Dreams
Bedouin aka Tamer Malki and Rami Abousabe are to release their long awaited and adventurous debut album 'Temple of Dreams' on their own label Human By Default.
iMalki explains that the album looks to “experiment and push the boundaries.” It differs from their previous work, as the album is intended to be a deep listening experience for the fans, rather than a slew of club cuts.
It starts with the enchanting sounds and candle lit grooves of Rise And Fall, then journeys far and wide through the Eastern string sounds of Coldman, darkly alluring vocals and mystic rhythms of Voices In My Head and the hypnotic melodic leads of Crazy feat. Iveta Mukuchyan.

700WET - Dare You
Led by their visionary leader, Marja Christians, and accompanied by the musical prowess of Cid Hohner, 700WET is the perfect blend of synth-pop and operatic vocals. Their sound combines elements of 80s, dub and house, reminiscent of Grace Jones singing minimal wave in a Chicago house.
Their latest release 'Gimme Love' is out on May 15, under the Eine Welt label.

About Floating World
Based in Gent BE, exploring eletronic music with ambient, cosmic, tribal, disco, dub, reggae and funk, creating a unique Balearic soundscape.
Vinyl collector since youth, started in 1988 as DJ and making Radio shows for Studio Brussels. Currently hosting a radio show every friday on URGENT.FM (Gent based University radio), tune in here ! Over the years: gigs and club residences in BE, UK, DE and the Balearics.
There’s an open-air club in Croatia, in the woods and on the edge of the sea. No corners, no ceilings, a most remarkable sound system, very stripped back. No Flashlights, no visuals... like Ibiza in the late 1970s .the DJ is in the background, like it should be. It 's all about feelgood, rhythm and people dancing, serious deancing in fact. I would just be back against the wall watching their feet move! One night, about 7 am, The sun was coming up through the trees and I dropped 'Can You Feel the Force'... there was such an explosion of emotion. Pure joy, a magical moment.
that very moment, everyone was on the same wavelength, a moment lost in time.
