Betelgeize is back on his record label It’s Good To Be A Tree to deliver a delightful organic house album Serokariy the Pigeon and Skypark, which soundtracks a fairy tale he wrote. The seven-track release is a unique concept that enlists the help of vocalist IKVA and a different collaborating artist for each track.
It’s a mid-tempo selection that has a deep and trippy atmosphere combined with organic percussion and engaging melodies. Betelgeize and all of the other producers on this release are respected names within the organic house scene, and the collaborators include AIWAA, Daniel Hokum, DIBIDABO, Kapchiz, Volen Sentir, Kermesse and Valique.
Although, Betelgeize has released the majority of his music via his own record labels It’s Good To Be A Tree and Leveldva, the other artists on this release have left their mark on imprints such as Anjunadeep, Sol Selectas, All Day I Dream, Cafe De Anatolia, Bar 25, MONADA, Underyourskin Records, • kosa •, Serafin Audio Imprint and LNDKHN.
Talking about the album, and the fairy tale it soundtracks, Betelgeize said “This album is a soundtrack for a fairy tale I wrote about a pigeon who lives in a beautiful park in harmony with himself and others. One day, the pigeon has a dream, which gives him a premonition that he can find wealth if he goes on a dangerous adventure. So, out of joy, through doubts and mysticism, we get into a dynamic and vivid journey of a pigeon, in which he meets other animals that vary between kind and dangerous characters. The music accompanies the story at every stage, and each chapter has its own track to express its mood and feeling. The first track symbolises a peaceful life in its mood, then the second track is representing doubts and mysticism. Tracks 3 and 4 are dynamic, because the adventure actually starts. First, a bold but unsuccessful attempt to fly over the mountains, then in a group of other animals he uses a bridge to cross a steep gorge. 5 is about falling in love, and 6 is about the main character being captured, then the last one resolving the adventure with a happy ending after he escapes captivity.”
All of the tracks on this release have dance floor appeal, and will no doubt find their way into many DJ sets, but it’s also a dynamic home listen, which as a complete package really brings Betelgeize’s imaginative fairy tale to life.
