In a world where the concept of globalisation has become part of all of our lives, it is interesting to note how certain cultures maintain a certain distance and refusal towards this radical evolution of society.
This reflection is confirmed in the profound roots which have written history and which continue to be alive and present in certain cultures and ethnic minorities.
The title Balkan Spirit is a clear and urgent plea to respect the uniqueness of the individual, and his freedom of thought and expression, as well as his wish not to be discriminated against on the basis of his ethnic background. Noble concepts, which all too often remain uncertain, sometimes almost forgotten, because in the real world, for some, living and fighting a war just to survive is part of everyday life.
For Roberto Affuso (aka DJ Only), Balkan Spirit is a ground-breaking production on many levels. An album in techno minimal style, Only brings us his trademark eclecticism, that which has always distinguished this DJ and producer, and has made him unique for the quality of his musical ideas.
As the title suggests, the sound is strongly ethnic, characterised by percussion grooves, sounds and voices with a world music flavour, tribal in places, immediately capturing the imagination of the listener and guiding him on a journey of sound emotions through all the tracks making up the EP, all written and produced by the artist DJ Only.
In order, the tracks are Balkan Spirit, Before Sunrise, Transitions 909, Showreel, Mapping Door and Watergate.
A quality production with great artistic substance, which further consolidates the fame of DJ Only as an artist able to astonish and to convey – as he himself puts it - “an experimental and uninterrupted flow of intense emotions”.
