The family that plays together, stays together. And so it came to be that the members of Yellow Claw’s Barong Family label huddled together in a French cottage earlier this year to collectively produce the first Barong Family Album, to be released on August 12th. The album is preceded by a short documentary, and followed by a Barong Family world tour.
This spring, twenty DJ/producers from the Netherlands descended on a cottage in the north of France and converted it into a studio complex. Label heads Yellow Claw, as well as Mike Cervello, Moksi, Lny Tnz, The Galaxy, Dirtcaps, Mightyfools, FS Green, Cesqeaux, Fountain Of Youth, FS Green and Wiwek all dropped by to contribute heat. Over seven days, in various combinations, they wrote and produced the 15 new tracks on the upcoming Barong Family Album.
The experience was captured by director Fabio de Frel in a 16 minute documentary out now on YouTube. Besides interviewing the artists, he also filmed Yellow Claw in Las Vegas, Cesqeaux in Indonesia, Moksi in Antwerp and Wiwek in Germany and in his small hometown of IJsselstijn.
