Friends for almost a decade, Oona Dahl and Amber Cox have always surrounded themselves with creative energy. Meeting briefly in college and then running into each other out in the underground, they started their endeavor as best friends and business partners. Originally based out of Tampa, the Florida nightlife and their mutual passion for electronic music inspired the two to come together as one back in 2009 to form a production and performance duo. The past year they have been machines, working on transcending their own dreamlike world to form Slumber. Over the past year Slumber has been on a tear releasing  EPs on imprints like Better on Foot, Bad Animal and Yuma Recordings. This 4 track EP is a great addition to their sound and discography. We look forward to hearing more from them in the future. 


Slumber :: Alice Takes Acid (Original Mix)

Grey Grid - Minimal Techno Instrumental

“Desert Rose” is a hypnotic blend of chill techno and melodic trance, crafted to transport the listener into a world where endless dunes meet the stillness of the night. The track blooms like a fragile rose in the heart of the desert—soft, emotional, and glowing with hidden warmth beneath a dark, minimalist rhythm.

A gentle pulse leads the journey, layered with smooth pads, distant echoes, and a steady deep–tech beat that feels like footsteps across warm sand. Subtle melodic lines rise like moonlit mirages, creating a soothing yet mysterious ambience that pulls you deeper into its atmosphere.

This is a track made for:
✨ late-night drives
✨ sunset sessions
✨ dreamy chill playlists
✨ hypnotic trance lovers
✨ emotional electronic journeys

“Desert Rose” captures the feeling of being alone with your thoughts—surrounded by silence, guided only by rhythm, emotion, and the soft glow of the night desert.

Let the bloom begin. 🌹🏜️

Soul Searching EP

Treat Me Right

After their recent success with industry-leading releases on labels like Lee Burridge’s All Day I Dream, and their very own Bantwana’s Kollektiv imprint, South African artists, Bantwana’s are back again with a vocal rich two-track EP entitled, ‘Gus & Lib’ that once again pins them at the forefront of the ever-growing Organic Afro House movement.


The African electronic band, Bantwana’s latest EP delivers nothing short of a mesmerizing foray into their sound while fusing African elements with edgy electronic production.


Setting the bar high for the EP to come, the title track, ‘Gus & Lib’ starts things off with a soulful rhythmic guitar lead that perpetuates throughout the whole track, while emotively harmonic vocals provide the backdrop to this energetic masterpiece. Atmosphere and danceability are at the forefront of this track, encompassing the listener with the nuance of Bantwana’s production prowess and leading gracefully into the second track of the EP.

Closing things off on a high note, ‘Ingelengele’ begins with an addictive percussive rhythm and an enigmatic lead that fuels the subtle undertones of this beautifully written track. Moog-esque basslines and stunning vocals by DRC’s proud Danny Ndaye clearly define the focus, while backing vocal hooks push the listener forward and keep you hooked until the very last beat, yet again proving why Bantwana’s have been able to rise up through the ranks in such a short time.

Speaking about the EP, Bantwanas lead band member and co-producer, Blanka Mazimela commented:

“The title of the EP is taken from the names of my great grandfathers Gustyekeketye and Libalele. The track channels them through the lyrics ‘siyalubona uthango luphelile’ which means ‘we can see the kraal is falling apart’. The bigger meaning is assuring the ancestors that we will continue to rebuild what they’ve left for us. Excited we finally got to translate this piece of art into music”.

 
Bantwana’s ‘Gus & LIb’ will be available everywhere on September 18th 2020 via Bantwanas Kollektiv.

This is serious dance music at it's most cutting edge with all the juice to really get you going. It's totally contemporary, innovative and has a chunky dirty feel.

'Musical hybrids are truly the flavour of today, but few have managed to capture the atmosphere of an unpredictable microcosm of a night out on a recordlabel - until now. Shir Khan's label "Exploited" bottles the zeitgeist's giddy thrills with plenty of style and substance. This is dance music hybridism in all its most glorious forms, and Shir Khan is an expert at making square pegs fit round holes.' (DJ-Mag)
'"Exploited Records" boss Shir Khan has been gaining a lot of acclaim recently, and deservedly so - as he has shown us the high quality, diversity and forward-thinking nature of his label. Engaging, riveting and diverse.' (Data Transmission)
