Info
A new Home Made release features another Croatian invention: a tie! in a musical sense of course. Amsterdam s� VITAMIN K launches CRÈME DE LA CRÈME, a cut from his latest album ESSENTIAL VITAMINS and Zagreb�s BECARI come around with a cool remix.
CRÈME DE LA CRÈME shakes things up in the good old fashion of house music with tight rhythm pattern driving the track while ongoing resonant bass line stirs it up in IVANs� own, regressive way. This has set foundation for what has now become a tapping point for BECARI's remix, a deepness flowing in the house vain and every element subordinated to the idea of making you dance. The most interesting point of this song is the break, where our boys acculturate the global dance music heritage with a variance of traditional Balkan trumpets and singing.
Expressed in emotional content, traditional music hasn't survived through the trendy winds of change simply for the sake of culture preservation, but for it's strength and relevancy to present times, same as our ancestors, we feel the need to dance and have fun while at it. This motive has been left unchanged for ages and remains a central conception of BECARI's work.
Forget about boring math in highscool, this release equasion is simple: VITAMIN K 'Creme de la Creme' plus BECARI remix, equals pleasure. Eaaaazzzzyyy !

Bechari
It's been a
while since producers MARKO PELAIC and DJ SERGEJ stepped up for a rerun of their
wild party habits, synonymous to the perpetual celebration of life, rooted
deeply in the Balkan mentality. Same as the Balkan mentality, that's always
changing and over going core change at the same time, BECARI never left us, but
have come back for the better.
Expressed in emotional content, this traditional music hasn't survived through
the trendy winds of change simply for the sake of culture preservation, but for
it's strenght and relevancy to present times, same as our ancestors, we feel the
need to dance and have fun while at it. This motive has been left unchanged for
ages and remains a central conception of BECARI's work. BECARI nurture carefully
their ability to capture the cultural framework, transpose and project it into
universal language, a modern slang of a thousand year old Balkan musical
heritage mixed together with the present club culture, which, as far as our
ambition goes, will last for a thousand years to come. This particular ore is
found in the gaze of those innovative and receptive enough to anwser the needs
of the people dancing to celebrate life. And what's more important for dancing,
except good music, than dancing shoes.
