Walrus, Dj.Booth ‎– Listen to the Basic Moves [BMX01]

We are teaming up with Listen! Festival again for the 3rd year in a row to curate a stage presenting artists from the past and new talent for the future. This year’s promotional tool is something tactile and very common in the Basic Moves world… It’s a 12” vinyl record!!!

!!! ALERT !!! THIS IS A CHARITY PROJECT !!!
ALL OF THE BENEFITS OF THIS RECORD WILL GO TO Liaison Antiiprohibitionniste (www.laliaison.org), an association for people affected by drug policies. It brings together those who are confronted with the problems caused by the prohibition of certain drugs. All are convinced, from their experience, of the need to implement an alternative policy to prohibitionism.

On the A side we have 2 tracks from Casablanca-born but now Brussels (!!!) based Driss Bennis aka OCB aka Dj.Booth from the now already legendary Moroccan label Casa

Voyager. The first track is a proper banger for the peak time hours of the after hour, while the second track on the A-side is a broken beat stepper like only he can make. Keep the funk alive Driss and welcome to Brussels!

On the B-side are 2 tracks by Basic Moves’ own Walrus dating from 8 years ago coming from a lost demo asked by a big UK label but that never left his hard drive. B1 was made barefoot and is heavily inspired by early Omar S and the rougher sounds of US house. And the B2 is an ode to the city he loves and hates at the same time. “Free city light” between a smile and a tear. Brussels.
