AROMA 10 YEAR
Some people love the smell of vinyl. It is an odd thing, but for some it brings back memories of days long gone when music wasn’t printed on odourless, small, silver discs. For others it reminds them of their hobby or profession even: being a DJ. But for both categories this particular smell brings to mind certain songs, tunes, pieces of music and the sensory and experiential recollections attached. The smell brings to life the sound – and every symbolic involvement. A perfect synaesthesia. Thus, to name a house music label Aroma Records is not such an awkward idea at all, is it? Tracks released on it could be fresh like blossom buttons in Spring, could summon the grilling meat of a barbeque party during the Summer days, could evoke heavy fragrances like fresh fruit ripening in Autumn or could reek of a massive outburst from a smoke machine during an underground party while Winter is raging outside the club…
Celebrating Aroma's tenth anniversary highlights a time in musical history and a chance to look back at the course that Aroma has followed and to look forward to where it's heading. From when we first picked up its odour, high on the aroma, to it’s latest promo… we are as aroused as back then! Raoul Belmans will embark on a worldwide tour to promote Aroma’s 10th birthday kicking off this Spring!
