Sabo's record label, Sol Selectas, presents a sensational collaborative organic house album by Hamza Rahimtula and the Rajasthan Folkstars. It's an Indian folk fusion that combines the artists' Indian heritage with traditional house music from the Western World.

The tracks on the album transition between organic house with Indian vocals and traditional instruments, through to jazzy, soulful house, inspired by the classic sound of Chicago.

Hamza Rahimtula is already an established producer who has released music through various Sol Selectas compilations. This is the first time he has done a full release of original material for Sol Selectas, and his tracks can also be found on other prestigious record labels ranging from Nervous Records to his own WindHorse Records. He is also one of India's most in-demand underground DJs.

All ten of the tracks have been made in collaboration with the Rajasthan Folkstars who with this album are making their first official release. Rajasthan Folkstars are a group of Indian musicians who add live vocals and instruments to Hamza Rahimtula's DJ sets, and this time they have joined him in the studio to augment his album with vocals and live instruments.


"Baras Baras" is a soulful house track with jazzy piano chords and thought-provoking, spoken word vocals layered over a deep bassline, while a traditional Indian string instrument called a Sarangi plays a haunting melody. This track on the album is the most in-line with the classic sound of Chicago house.

PREMIERE: Hamza Rahimtula, Rajasthan Folkstars - Baras Baras [ Sol Selectas ]

Gwenan takes us on an unusual excursion on her new EP, marking the sixth release on Snaretrade Records. Through four windows, we get a peek into scenes from an unknown script, cleverly disguised as club fare. A remarkable and playful journey, in which Gwenan pays homage to her favourite author, with nods to her youth growing up in Wales.

Magic

Frankie Foncett, is considered by many in dance music to be a pioneer and one of the most technically gifted Dj"s and Remixers of his generation. 

Having gained a stella reputation aged just 16 as part of the Rappattack Sound System in the mid 80s. 

Frankie would soon be one of the first dj"s in europe to bring the New York style of long overlaying of records to club sets. 
While working the EQ and using a Reel To Reel for custom edits. 
Equally able to blend electro,soul and club music,widely recognised as one of Europe’s first architects of house music.

In 1988 he became the 
Head buyer @ the seminal Black Market Records in Londons Soho.

In that position he helped set the pulse of the city"s taste. And is widely credited with forging a now legendary moment in Music. HOUSE!!!!!!!!!!! 

Frankie was instrumental in the revolution of club culture co founding and the creative force behind club night High On Hope. The first NY Style club night in Europe in 1989. Considered the template for changing the acid house craze to soulful deep house,no other night had more influence at this time. 

He has mixed or edited or A&R dozens of classic records. And one of the few dj in the world to played alongside golden era legends Jam Master Jay or icons like Larry Levan.  

During the 90"s Frankie held the position of resident dj @ The Ministry Of Sound. For 3 years on Saturday nights that was of of the most explosive places to hear new music. 

He was instrumental in breaking countless artistes and records during this period. Including Daft Punk among others. 

Between 95 & 98 Frankie set an incredible standard for other djs"s to follow in terms of working the Ministry"s main room. 

And though humble, it is a fact that this is still the most talked about period of the club.

He is now highly revered among his peers, and continues spin at special events worldwide.
