The second instalment of the Arupa Music Vinyl Limited release presents
Bexu, an artist who derives from Cluj-Napoca, North Western Romania.
Bexu’s discography has grown steadily over the past few years, and we
are super proud to make an addition in physical format.
Title
track Calatoria entices mystery from the get go, an artistic soundscape
of dreamy, uplifting pads with chugging bass and sharp driving
percussion. The hypnotic vocal eagerly anticipating an answer, rightly
deserves provoking sequel (part two).
‘Doru Lenii’ is a different
approach to the dreamy off kilter nature of the Calatoria tracks. A
driving, instructive vocal, builds anticipation and delivers sonic
answers for questions asked, chords progress as the track builds, heavy
synths drive the track forward and into conclusive territory. A true
tale of the sun & moon; day into night, and back into day again.
Crihan’s
interpretation of ‘Calatoria responds in true B side fashion,
responding with a bounce and giving direction to the adventure mystified
in the title track. Off kilter percussion, a focused bassline, vocal
converses with ‘Cataloria’, natural production techniques give a truly
organic feel. This release disperses absolute warmth.
