Bates Belk Releases New Dance EP "Euphoria" Celebrating Gender and Sexual Fluidity ||| Written in Berlin, the music producer has brought together gender and sexually fluid Berlin-based artists creating a positive and in-your-face message for freedom. ||| BERLIN, Germany – Texas native Bates Belk is thrilled to announce his first release of music since relocating to Berlin. The new dance EP "Euphoria" will be released worldwide on October 18, 2019. With a classic high-energy acid house vibe, the electronic dance EP salutes all the people in the world whom stand for the resisting of gender and sexual oppression and whom represent sex positivity. Taking recorded field sound samples of euphoric voices of gender-bending clubgoers and acclaimed free-thinking Berlin-based performance artists at such legendary Berlin alternative cult parties like the Gegen Party at KItKatKlub, the CockTail d'Amore Party at Griessmuehle Club, the Buttons Party at ://about blank Club and the Pornceptual Party at Alte Münze Club, Bates created lively and anthemic energy for "Euphoria"…taking inspiration from all the unique people that performed on the song. Says Bates, "Once I was able to finally escape the USA and get to Berlin, there was no stopping me. I was determined to engage with as many forward-thinking souls in Berlin as I could to create something that was both educational and most definitely fun for the world. And why not do it as a big party for the dancefloor…especially at a time today with all the continuing oppression and unneeded chaos that is occurring all over the world. The open-minded people of Berlin are setting a standard for the future of our world. And I loved all the people whom contributed to this song. They brought their true selves to the music. They all stand for freedom." The "Euphoria" EP also contains two new dance B-sides and one new club remix of the title track. A special euphoric party video has also been created for the track. "Euphoria" is the first single to be released from Bates Belk's debut album, entitled "The Dark Spektrum", that is due for release in early 2020. The album contains collaborations with over 50 Berlin-based artists, and was mixed by renowned Depeche Mode, Erasure and Interpol music producer Gareth Jones. (www.BatesBelk.com)
