Free Shelter Edits #10

Facets brings the release in with a dark, EBM:ish edit of Der whilst Manao then moves us over to a grittier, ghettotech:ish electro piece with Jane. From there we have recurring face for many, RFX, who does his usual brilliance on his take of Ambition. Our third and final new face, Ecar, then takes the relay baton and keeps the race going with Propaganda. Both tracks work in the sphere of where you want to kickstart the party to the next gear. We round off with our home team trio, where Miro-Benji and Stuster show their heavier, 4am sounds on Sonic 3D (yes… that Sonic) and Universal Music. Aaron Maple then puts the finishing touches with his signature sound on his Hot Day In Istanbul edit.

Edit by @aaronmaple.

Dance for Relief is a project that's been on our minds for a while as a way using our music to help raise funds for causes that we are passionate about. With the world currently struggling with the effects of the Covid-19 pandemic now felt like it would be the right time to get this project started.

The first project under this banner is a compilation of edits, remixes and secret weapons from various friends, with Volume 1 focusing on cosmic, tribal and trancey sounds of the 90s.

All money from this release will go straight to Direct Relief (directrelief.org), a charity who's mission is to improve the health and lives of people affected by poverty or emergencies, and who are doing great work to ensure that protective gear and critical care medications get to as many health workers as possible. We felt they were a particularly both in the midst of current Covid-19 pandemic and beyond.

Finally, we'd like to say a huge thank you to all the artists involved who have given their skills and time during a difficult period to help make this release happen in support of a worthy cause.

Anatolian Weapons starts of the compilation with a mystic edit of “Days of Future Past”. Kompleks follows him with more energy on “Revolution, Revolutions”,  a love child of dark, tribalistic synths. From there we let our homegrown heroes Aaron Maple and Miro-Benji take charge and steer us further into the night. Aaron puts the pedal to the metal with his rendering of “Ethno-Techno”, that continues the tribal road that Kompleks led us onto.  Miro-Benji give us a final punch of summer with A-Danze. Proto house with a hint of trance bongos (whatever that might mean) in a piece that’s worthy of one last dance in the night.

Ethno-Techno (Aaron Maple edit)

They say music is a universal language. Does a nation babble when it is born? Can we ever truly come to terms with our own nativity? Titanic plates began to shift, leaving gulfs between the earthly bodies. Stars above couldn’t care less. The ode to joy has lost its conductor.

Awesome Orientalists From Europa have had enough of the cultural appropriation war. Israeli label head Gal and his Europe-homed crew are purveying a new politics of pure fusion, specialising in clubby edits of forgotten dance tracks sonically rooted in the east, but predominantly made in the west. Its third EP, led by Finnish producer Aaron Maple, cleverly marries the cold heart of European dance music with the warmth of Middle Eastern pop, and its references to traditional folk music. Tabla sits pretty atop high-nrg basslines, and lively Arabic vocals accompany a weighty Italo groove. This is Orientalist music by white musicians in reverence to, rather than ownership of, their heroes from Asia. All profits from the release will go to organisations that fight Islamophobia, antisemitism and racism in the West.

Mostly known for his works with the Ears on Earth label and BF Treatment duo, JAI does what he usually does best on his edit of Magic Fly; Mixing up ravey 90’s sounds with a modern twist. Lau Tropico then proceeds with his take on Djulu, that eases us for the heavier load coming in later. Aaron Maple do his usual magic that we’ve all been accustomed to with his edit of This Is A Sound. A sure-fire party starter that’ll make even the most modest guest make this feet do a 1-2 step. Ramin and Reda continues on, where Aaron left us, with their heavily middle-eastern inspired Dehati and guides us for our final number by the man behind the operation; Miro-Benji. The release ends with, in his own words, an “anti-edit” of Love Will Tear Us Apart. One of those tracks that is perfect as an ender but still leaves the listener urging for more.

Aaro Vahtera aka Aaron Maple is a producer and DJ from Finland. He is a member of a collective and label called Free Shelter focusing on obscure and esoteric music.
Aaron Maple is mostly known for his edit releases with support from world known DJs every corner in the world. He has released music for example via Free Shelter, Dar Disku , Awesome orientalists from Europa and Serenades.

About the edit : " "I first got to know to this song via my friend Markus who introduced the Global Village's album to me. I fell instantly in love with the vocals and percussions of the Robenji Doom Doom track. In my edits there is always a functional reason why I start making one. The original track was too restless for my taste and I decided to make a bit deeper and darker than the original was. 
Vocals and percussion was the core and I made the edit around them. I added new drums and made new baseline and synth melodies. I did a massive restructuring in the song's structure and played with some effects. All the elements clicked together very well and fast I was really happy with the result. The edit works really well in the early hours in the club and also as played a bit faster in the peak time hours. Definitely one of the best edits I have made so far. "

The story behind the edit:
@aaronmaple first discovered Amira Saqati through a mixtape he was listening to via Soundcloud last fall. He remembers quickly browsing Amira Saqati's discography after the discovery and enjoying many songs from it. Hel Aeynik's vocals and melody got him right away. 
Aaron Maple version is a dancefloor oriented version with more groove to play at peak time. He recorded new drums and a new bassline. And he reorganized the structure and played with samples but kept vocals in the core element of the song.

Fauve Records head honcho RFX kicks us off with his work on Assid Rayn. With the infamous releases on Fauve as well as the always welcomed Bandcamp Friday special “Ephemeral Edits” releases, we’ve been waiting to collaborate with this fella and me-oh-my was the wait worth it. ASSS-ASSSIIIIID. We continue with a couple of legends in this so-called “edits game”. Running Hot, the infamous duo from UK that does not need any introduction, and among our personal favourites. Our homegrown Aaron Maple continues on the third act, where he does his usual magic on My Maya. To end the 9th edition, Miro-Benji breaks the beat with World Championships. A track that stays true to its title and works just as well in a sweaty warehouse as it does in a Colin McRae rally game in the arcade hall. This is one we suggest you save for a special post-covid moment, when the dance floor is your oyster and the crowd is in the palm of your hands.
