Don't Stand and Weep [CLIPP088] by Bejenec
People often ask us how we continually / consistently uncover such amazing talent from around the world. I could go on for hours about it but the short answer is we just look… really, really hard. We go deep, with an open mind, and an ear tuned acutely to “the vibe”. It’s not a popularity contest and definitely not about expectations of what we are as a label. We've never been about a “sound” but more an attitude: we like what we like, and we aren’t afraid to back it. We put our money where our mouth is, so to speak. In that spirit, Ukrainian bad bwoy Bejenec has to be one of my favorite discoveries of the last year. His artist bio describes him as “young ukrainian artist and producer who performs razor-sharp melodic live acts, traversing breakbeat, acid, techno etc”. Which in 2019 is pretty standard, BUT it was the simple use of “etc” that really pulled me in with an immediate sense of playfullness and zero-fuck-giving. I find that essence permeating throughout all his music & online visual diaries (his instagram, cheekyly titled “@albms4free” alone is certain to mess up the algorithms of your mind). Bejenec’s music grabs your attention like that cheap male hooker that is surprisingly, impossibly hot. Standing at 3am on the corner of a bad street, in a neighbourhood you really shouldn't feel comfortable in, but you find yourself "into it". It has “double take” factor, and for us, THAT is the vital ingredient.
