Bachir Salloum joins Juicebox Music with four-tracker ‘Of Time and Space’ Out April 5th
Based in Dubai (UAE) since 2014, the Lebanese-born artist gathered immediate attention with solo signings on Guy Mantzur’s ‘Plattenbank’, Hernan Cattaneo’s ‘Sudbeat’ and memorable collaborations with fellow comrades – Z0ne+ & Memory (ARG). Bachir’s musical diversity landed him a slot at the famed first edition of Guy J’s ‘We Are Lost’ Festival back in 2018. With a style that ranges from Deep House to Progressive House, he hones in on his love of grooves & melodies and with that motto in mind, Bachir Salloum delivers a 2-tracker on our Indian label.
With no time to waste, the title track “Of Time and Space” launches the EP in full swing through it’s dark, rolling drive aimed for the peak-hours while “Illusions” reflects his quirky & hypnotic after-hours side.
Another artist making his debut appearance on the label is Villa Mercedes (Argentina) resident – Fabri Lopez. With recent releases on Tash’s ‘Movement Recordings’, Max Freegrant’s ‘Freegrant Music’ & Juan Pablo Torres’ ‘Clubsonica’, Fabri Lopez’s aims straight for the progressive house fanatics with a sound that ranges from the smooth & euphoric to aggressive & epic. We called him in to give Bachir Salloum’s ‘Of Time and Space’ the latter treatment with a beefier low-end & a big chord-filled breakdown moment.
Bangalore (India) based artist – Weird Sounding Dude makes his much-awaited return to Juicebox Music after his massive 5-track ‘Arcade’ EP. Nearly a decade of productions under his belt and on a constant rising trajectory, Weird Sounding Dude cemented his presence in the industry with exemplary original releases, highlighted by signings on Nick Warren’s ‘Soundgarden’ & Hernan Cattaneo’s ‘Sudbeat’, as well as highly praised remixes for Dmitry Molosh & Ziger. For his remix of Bachir Salloum’s “Of Time & Space”, Weird Sounding Dude effortlessly twists the original elements while injecting his trademark components – smooth percussive work, spacey synths & bouncy grooves.
Release date: April 5th, 2021.
