Bulgarian Beat Wave Vol. 1 (Various Artists)

Bulgaria's Instrumental Scene is Claiming it's Spot on the World Music Map with the First-ever Bulgarian Beat Wave Compilation. The goal of the project (recorded deep in the Balkan mountains) is to show the world that while the country is small, the scene is thriving and growing. There's also a mini-documentary available online. Expect anything from jazz, soul, funk, chillhop, and electronic music - with live instruments and even scratching elements by DMC's World Champion for 2022. The compilation was featured on BBC 1, CLASH Magazine, KCRW, RINSE. FM, as well as supported by numerous curators (including Apple Music's BEATstrumentals) & on Bandcamp's front page.
