Baildi Soundsystem

"After a few successful experiments with old Greek tunes we liked from our father's collection of 78rpm vinyls, we decided to produce an entire album using samples from Greek tunes from the 40's, 50's and 60's. The outcome is hard to describe in terms of genre since all the tracks vary in style. Nevertheless, all of them carry the oriental vibes of the original tracks. The idea was to bring forward some of these forgotten gems from Greek artists of the past century and blend them with modern sounds and rhythm into something new and unique. It took a lot of experimentation and loads of time and effort because what we most feared was ending up with a cheap sounding boxy beat over an old sample pattern. We focused on truly blending old and new, in bringing every addition under the old recordings' skin. To what extent we have achieved that is not for us to say, for that matter we would very much appreciate any feedback."
