Beletronic by Claude Rodap

Otherworldly Caribbean electronic dance floor cuts! Arousing prog-zouk and abstract futurism from the French West Indies by synthesist Claude Rodap, released on vinyl for the first time by Rush Hour.

In the early eighties, a time where French Caribbean musicians were searching for their own sound, Claude Rodap mixed traditional Gwo-Ka, Bel Air, Biguine with synthetic sounds, resulting in magical, adventurous outcomes. Recorded in the nineties and in 2000, the dreamy, sensuous three tracks on 'Beletronic' are the deliberate result of more than a decade of his experimentation.
