Ten years Dim Dim tried to get the wise fruitcake world party started yet something must have denied him reaching that unique goal. It must be one of the world's greatest mysteries. His combination of juicy jigs and an unbiased sense of exploration perhaps does not comply with the cynical adult world. Dim Dim originates from Brussels, lived with his family in Paris and, settled in Portugal now, has a sixth album on sale which, after four fruit inspired titles and one entitled 'Bounce', is called 'Whip'. How very true, it brings lashings of fun.
Belgium is at the crossroads of many cultures, so we hear touches of central-African guitar licks melting seamlessly with cartoon film sound snippets popping up as if we were hopping between stands at a global music market square. But Dim Dim's music owes a debt to surrealism as well. All is carefully crafted with the sole aim to please body and mind.
'Whip' is one step further on from the 'Bounce' album. Dim Dim now goes Brazil. Not much of a surprise there, given Dim Dim's Portugal residency. Another charming new move is the ska song towards the end of this deliciously innocent and inspired mish mash. Dim Dim's world is a wonderland, where teletubbies mature their carefree behaviour with the aid of electronic music. Bubbling, not jumpy, sounds will uplift even the grumpiest soul.

Excellent sixth album from Brussels-born and now Portugese-based musician and surrealist Dim Dim, whose merging of central-African guitar licks with cartoon film sound snippets, pleases both both body and mind
