Booty Call from Body Gospel by Darius The Barbarian

The first single off the album Body Gospel by Darius The Barbarian is called “Booty Call”, out on the 14th of June 2024. The track, with its rhythmics and alluring vocals, is the perfect way to start getting in contact with the soul of the LP, Body Gospel, which is a compilation of written nostalgic rap tales that express the power of connection through the mind, body, sex, and ego. Sexual connection, self-admiration, scenic hoe ego checks and it’s all through the wide-lens. This experience is libido inducing, whilst the project is infused with Electronic ghetto-tech inspired bass lines and textures. That’s what the next record out on Apparel Tronic is about, in the artist’s own words. Darius dives into merging the alternative side of Electro with Hip-Hop, Ghetto House, modern Footwork and many more experimental dance genres. The producer of the single “Booty Call” is of course Moodrich, who spent three weeks with Darius in NYC, working closely together on the record and recording almost every day, with their creativity just "flowing around the room". Most of the instrumentals has been made over the past few years and, the producer says, “sounded like they were unfinished, but now I know why…”. "Body Gospel” testimonies the love and the artistic bond between the two. Apparel Tronic, which since 2017 established itself as the home for the most audacious sonic experimentalists, is thrilled to host such a groundbreaking record on the label.
