about

Danse Primitive is the second effort from Nantes collective The Balek Band.

Their track 'Superbia' from 2018 was already a big BATB end-of-the-night favourite, and we are over the moon to welcome them on the label.

The leader of the project, Vidock, has been a staple at the BATB parties these past few years, and it is naturally that they dedicate this EP 'to all the Beauty and the Beat dancers'.

All tracks have been mastered by Matt Colton.

THE PURCHASE OF THE VINYL COMES WITH THE DIGITAL DOWNLOAD OF EACH TRACK PLUS THE REWORK OF 'DISCONIELS' BY MYSTIC JUNGLE, EXCLUSIVE TO BANDCAMP.


For the French speakers, here's a bit more history about the project:

"The Balek Band explore les codes de la musique électronique, s’affranchit des genre pour plonger dans un univers à la croisée des mondes. Puisant aussi bien dans la disco que le jazz, c’est au coeur de l’expérimentation que naissent leurs morceaux assurément dance-floor et psyché. Cette formation atypique utilise guitare, bass, percussions, boîtes à rythmes, synthétiseurs aussi bien en studio qu’en live et livre une performance aussi libre que précise, simplement guidé par leurs émotions."
