"belong" is a track that i found on their label compilation "liquid assets", i bought it about five or six years ago with a bit of a clue about what kind of music i would find. the only name i recognized on the tracklisting was mekhanist and that was thanks to my good friend jyri lehtinen who has been brilliant at pushing me onto great finnish music. behind the name dharmaone/dharma one (or even just dharma) hides jouni helminen and i know little about him but the tracks i have heard from him has been quality.
the song first came out in '02 on the second edition of a nine2five's "coffee breaks" ep:s. i know for certain that it became a favourite with the mighty gilles peterson and was featured on a mixcd of his along with another compilation. it features fellow finns tuomo prattala on vocals and antti hynninen (aka rebeat) on flute and berimbau. the song is a mighty broken beat track with wild percussion, stabby keys and really subby bass. tuomo's light but beautiful vocal ride on top the beats as the rhythm shuffles around.
it's quite anthemic in it's execution and definitely something for those one am moments in a warm club.
buy here (beatport)
it also comes with a housey version courtesy of jimpster and it's also quite nice
