I hope you all aren’t feeling like “oh hey, looks like this guy is just gonna post another excellent song in the same genre as so many others he’s posted lately.” Because that might be the case, but it’s not my fault. I can’t help it if people keep making awesome chilled out electronic music that grabs me from the first few notes and makes me pine for more. You can’t go and blame that one on me. But for today at least, you can blame The Bloody Beetroots, whose song “31 Seconds to Die” is the subject of your listening pleasure.
Bobby Rifo and DJ Tommy Tea are the main members of the Italian electronic music duo, but they recently added a third member, Edward Grinch, to play drums in their live show, under the name “The Bloody Beetroots Death Crew 77″. Not sure what that’s all about. But as you may remember, I am all about a live drummer with electronic music these days. It’s almost incomprehensible how much it can add.
Today’s tune is part of this groups first musical offering, “Domino (Spares of Romborama pt. 2)”. Uh…ok? While the name might be a little out there in a weird way, the music is a little out there in a great way. I like the outerspaceyness of this track, and the “31 seconds” recorded voice throughout the song almost gives the sense that of a countdown to liftoff. Which hopefully doesn’t result in death. It’s another case of a beautiful tune with a rather morbid title. Does anyone know what it all means?
The Bloody Beetroots – 31 Seconds to Die
buy it on 
or amazon
The Bloody Beetroots just recently released an EP with the following tracks:
1. DOMINO (Radio Edit)
2. Domino
3. 31 Seconds To Die
4. Anarchist Division Southern England
5. Final Credits
Domino has a music video (which is on YouTube) and has a story about the Bloody Beetroots murdering a general in hiding named Cornelius. They then take over Cornelius’ forces and become the new generals.
I’m guessing from the track list that after the head pounding track that is Domino, 31 Seconds to Die is about the aftermath of their decisions (?). What-ever the story may be behind the track, it’s certainly more mellow than most of what the Beetroots come out with.

“Domino” means how everything happens after one event, like playing dominos. Basically, Domino was created with the spares of Romborama and turned into another killer song by the Bloody Beetroots. Watch the video with domino and you can put the feeling of the music to a visual perspective.
