Atapy & BOg – Strung/Despair

Bedrock launches into 2015 with a highly creative double-header from two respected artists from the revolution that is currently happening in the Romanian electronic scene – Atapy & BOg. Whether it’s the deeply delicious uplifting melodies and dramatic strings of  “Strung”, or the more intense melancholic journey of “Despair”, there can be no denying that this duo are one’s to watch this year. Their distinctive collaborative style and attention to detail marks them out as having unique creative talent.

For Romania’s Arpi Takacs (aka Atapy), addiction to electronic music started early, first as a regular freak in club corners and then behind the decks, developing his DJ skills. Since 2010, his career has been firmly on the rise with likes of M.A.N.D.Y., Ritchie Hawtin, Laurent Garnier, Dubfire, Tom Budden, Djuma Soundsystem and many more, championing his highly desirous productions. It’s all about quality and not quantity for Atapy, with previous key releases on his own Cimelde label and Get Physical, alongside his collaborations with (amongst others): Noir, Digitaria and Cari Golden; and reworking The XX and the legendary “Knight Rider” theme, here is an artist with both style and passion.

BOg is a Romanian electronic music composer and DJ, based in Paris. Also deeply passionate about music since childhood, he has risen to his current prominence through releases on Crosstown Rebels, Fumakilla, Akbal Music, and (not forgetting) a recent superb remix of “Gridlock” by none other than John Digweed & Nick Muir on Bedrock. With talent and releases like this on the agenda it looks like 2015 is going to be an amazing year!
