For the creation of the 3rd Bulgarian Beat Wave, we chose a small village tucked away in the northern part of the country. Dobrevtsi, located in the Lovech Province, has a population of less than 500 and is home of some pretty good rakia (a national drink you must try) based on our short, but sweet interaction with one of the locals.

This time the weather wasn't on our side (4 days of non-stop rain), but that's the beauty of those experiences - you go with the flow. The beat heroes you already know were joined by a new name - VLADKO, who added his signature brass/groove energy to the mix. The compilation is a perfect reflection of what we all experienced - a healthy blend of feel-good cozy chill and dark/mellow vibes.

Just like the country’s diverse natural landscape, the idea behind Bulgarian Beat Wave compilation is to offer a non-linear sonic experience and guide listeners through the unique and varied sound of some of the most talented local beatmakers.

With a population of less than 7M, the 110th largest country in the world is a home of some of the most talented and creative multi-instrumentalists, producers, and sound engineers which we at Stereofox are humbled to call label mates and family.

Since the first edition in 2022, everyone on the compilation has gone on and done great things, and collaborations (both local and international) and we couldn't be prouder of this.

See you on the next wave.
