Let’s Dance - 08PM - by Reda Saiarh is a 10” release on AM Records. Four oddball "New Beat - not - New Beat" tracks produced by this young dj from Geneva (of the duo Ramin&Reda) for renewed appetite for dancing after the lockdowns... title track Let’s Dance is Reda’s 2021 take on the classic Bowie song, followed by an original new production Quinz Lord, in which he samples his girlfriend’s cat. On the flip he worked with Thomas Lavanchy on E-O, a song constructed around traditional Gabonese chanting before finishing off with an ode to Yello medley, mashed up to the deepest kick of the record!

I Love You

Reda Saiarh - I Love You

The door swung wide open with a dramatic thud; in its frame a dark silhouette of a man loomed over the room. Most eyes turned to fix on the entrance, while others cowered beneath their tables, too afraid to make eye contact with the strange figure. He wasn't completely shrouded in mystery, however. In fact, many had been expecting the day he'd darken their doorway, but they never thought it would actually come. From the stories they'd been told, this situation could go one of two ways; they had to hope and pray that luck was on their side.

Last May, Moroccan-born, Geneva-based producer Reda Saiarh released his first EP, alongside production partner Ramin Salem, on Rotterdam’s Afrobotic Musicology. The release signalled the duo’s deftness for blending Eastern & Western samples, a trait that’s on display on Reda’s solo return to the label, Let’s Dance. Made up of four New Beat-inspired tracks, an era of music he was put on to through his Dad’s record collection, the release includes a contemporary flip on a Bowie classic, a homage to Yello and an acidic cut laced with Gabonese chants, in partnership with Thomas Lavanchy.

1 hour story as told on the 2nd of March during closing weekender of Mono in Rotterdam

Mono - Closing - Set - 2nd of March

First track of soon to be released album "Psychotic Rave Tapes"

Psychotic Rave Tapes

Moon Rocks

Deep in the vaults of AM Records this album was rediscovered.
When recorded back in the days, this album felt too doomy and depressing for the light hearted era in which everybody was on the unifying love drug ecstacy. But for this moment in time, with an increasing popularity of the anesthetic ketamine and introspective psychedelics, the album feels more appropriate.

Has togetherness or collectiveness lost out to individualistic painkilling, or are we healing?

Good luck ;)

03AM - Preview

For the 11th release AM collaborates with Rio de Janeiro based label Outra, to shine a light on a lesser known era of the rich Brazilian music history. The record compiles six slightly edited or ‘fixed’ late 80’s / early 90’s Brazilian pop songs that touch all basic elements of old school hip hop, new beat and electro: electronic beats, heavy use of funky (guitar) samples, rapping and scratching, except for that last track which is a sexy melancholic Portugese pop track that felt so good to end with. As usual in a white discobag hand-stamped with a little drawing by Frank Koedood.

Return To Paradise (Afrobotic edit)

Release date 12th of July - via https://afrobotic.bandcamp.com/album/daytime-high and in most specialised shops!

A1 Solima - Potentiometer
A2 Ali Baba - Mad’R
B1 Badaouiah - Articulat
B2 Mustapha - Afrobot

In the beginning of the summer of 2019, AM returns with four exotic edits and reworks to dance to on grass. Solima is a pitched down lush and spatial Afro gem that will cause instant euphoria on any dance floor, followed by a faster and uplifting African jam called Ali Baba. Both have that late 80’s synthetic vibe we dig so much. On the flip there are two tracks which are constructed upon respectively an Egyptian and a Turkish sample. Badaouiah reminds of Carl Craig’s edit of Congo Man, builds up slowly and gets highly hypnotic and deep, while the second track Mustapha rolls out a quirky rhythm pattern with a hysteric Turkish clarinet sample.

Comes in a disco bag, hand stamped with a new drawing by Frank Koedood.
