In the Middle: the new album of Bawrut that celebrates diversity

On November 12th in digital version In the Middle, the new album by Italian DJ and producer Bawrut, will be released on Ransom Note Records, born with the aim of giving a deep meaning to electronic/dance music and inspired by the Mediterranean Sea. "In the middle of the lands" is the ancient Latin meaning of the word Mediterranean - the image chosen to celebrate the meeting between cultures and people against any nationalism. The entire project, part of which was written and composed during the lockdown, is therefore based on the metaphor of the sea, which for migrants becomes the scene of tragedies, shipwrecks and abandonments and in which is navigated without seeing a point of arrival, but whose waters embrace and connect the coasts of different cultures and states.

The album contains several featuring: LIBERATO to represent the language and the city of Naples, a typical example of a Mediterranean mix, Glitter of Moroccan origin and residing in Paris, Cosmo da Ivrea and Chico Blanco, a young singer and producer of the new generation of Spanish artists independent pop music. The single Crossing for a Golden Jacket, whose video was released in September, opens the line up of the album: the song starts with the sounds of the sea and ends with the SOS signal in Morse code in a series of loops, which link two completely different scenarios, the contrast between a family environment and a new and aseptic reality, exploring the theme of migration seen as a physical and metaphorical displacement of an identity.

Bawrut has lived in Madrid for several years, but was born in Gorizia, a city with a secular and multi-ethnic identity, but literally divided in two by a border (Italy and Slovenia) after the Second World War, from this biographical experience the theme was born of uprooting from one's own land and migration, together with the abandonment of a safe land and the beginning of a new adventure. "Through my music I try to combine languages ​​and sounds to create a record that celebrates the union, meeting and intersection of experiences" - says the singer, for this reason 5% of the album's profits will be donated to Open Arms.
