Watch: Soulwax take Gabba Down a Notch w/ Video Mixtape

Proving once again that life is better in slow motion, this patriotic mix of old school Belgian techno from the incomparable Soulwax crew is a gem. Taking the “really dark and heavy techno records down all the way to about 115 bpm, it suddenly makes them sound less frantic, ballsier and a lot sexier. Belgium at its best when pitched down.”

You can’t take something like Gabba and forget the synonymous dance style so for added bonus the Belgian brothers teamed up with director Pol Heyvaert for the visual component. Dressing up willing extras in old rave gear and setting them loose over superimposed record covers in turn delivering their  “ultimate tribute to a glorious period in our Belgian musical heritage.”

We feel very strongly about this hour, and would like to show that quite often, the best things in life are already right in front of us, we just have to open our eyes (and ears) to them. We stand corrected!

Nothing really encapsulates what gabba sounds and looks like at 115bpm until you watch and regret not having this much fun in your life, ever.
