[FbL022] BpOlar - Dhūpa

Back in 2009 Dirk Driesen sent a demo ep to XS Records (Portuguese netlabel) and when Tiago and I received it I immediately said that we were going to go ahead with it. Almost 3 years later FeedbackLoop Label proudly presents you a new BpOlar release the Dhūpa ep.

Dhūpa means incense in Hindi and Dirk Driesen takes us on an inner trip providing us a set of microcosmos, intriguing scenes that somehow take us to empty and vast spaces, but at the same time ground us to the earth, with the wind chimes like sounds filling the air and delicate yet sometimes disturbing drones blown throughout sparsely.

Dirk Driesen achieves with Dhūpa a ceremonial feel that is at the same time an opportunity to achieve an inner state of peace yet slightly surrounded with the dark shadows of doubt, and from this clash of emotions, a true reality of the self is allowed to emerge.

manifesto

Available music in the web is a marvelous world to uncover, and ever since I came across the concept of Netlabels I was immediately stunned by the amount of music to discover. But shortly after I was overwhelmed by the fast paced releases and hard to find pearls (at least the ones that lasted more than 2 or 3 careful auditions). There are netlabels and record labels for all genres and you can find out there everything, but my intentions regarding the foundation of a label are based on two critical issues: listeners pleasure and tribute to the artist.

I want to release music that lasts one year, ten years, a lifetime, and that gives its listeners always a good reason to get back to it and also to promote as much as possible the artists that produce that music. I’m interested in the sensations that music transmits, its richness and its versatility.
