Toka Mix 73: Jason Kaakouch // Incl. Podcast Interview

Earthly Delights presents the latest in its Unearthed Delights series, which is an eclectic compilation featuring tracks that range from deep/organic house to melodic house/techno.

The release is split in two halves that each feature 10 tracks, some of which are rereleases of classics from the labels and others are brand new productions.

Many of the artists featuring new tracks have previously released on Earthly Delights and will be familiar to fans of the record label, while others are making their debut on the imprint.

Individually, the artists who feature have also worked with other record labels such as Stil Vor Talent, Kindisch, Lost Miracle, Hoomidaas, Akbal Music, All Day I Dream, Bar 25, Anjunadeep, Harabe and Seven Villas.

It’s an epic selection of tracks that covers a range of tempos and styles, but all of the tracks have deep atmosphere and organic textures.

The Selador Showcases…how do we love thee? Let us count the ways…

You know the drill – half a dozen hand-cut gems curated by those trusty Seladorian ears. There’s those that go stratospheric, those that find cult followings, and those that nestle in the back of your brain only to pop up unexpectedly months later and knock you for six.
So without any further ado, let’s get down to sonic business and once again, the challenge we've set ourselves is to whet your proverbial whistle in just ten words per track – and all without using the words ‘banger’, ‘anthem’ or referring to any bassline as ‘low slung’…

Pete Gleadall – ‘Shoehorn’
Call the cops! Pete is charged with being squelchily acidic in residential area.

It's Good To Be A Tree is a deep and atmospheric record label run by Sergey Pushkin, which focuses on downtempo/organic house with indigenous sounds, flowing percussion and heart-warming melodies.

The label's focus is to create a collaborative environment where artists from different genres can come together on one platform and this latest release is an eight-track compilation featuring solo music by Daniel Hokum, Kuumba, Last Gentleman On Playa, Valique, Yassen, Zoe Reijue and Sergey Pushkin. There is also a three-way collaboration between Betelgeize, Beznosuk and Valique.

Sergey Pushkin’s “Fading Away (feat. Unibird)” has a sensual vocal by Unibird which is nestled on a bed of liquid textures and ripening synths, all while the funk of the bassline carries the groove.

nfluenced by his beginnings in Progressive House, he is a born and frugal innovator. Founder of his label Amplusens, which remains faithful to its motto: 'Creativity, innovation and evolution', Juan Pablo Moran has excelled in the studio and on the dance floor. Each of Juan Pablo Moran's tracks is a world of sensations. The ethereal ambients lead us on a hypnotic journey into ourselves. The epithets: spiritual, sublime, and abstract come to mind. The origin of Juan Pablo Moran's inspiration has a relationship with the magical and electrifying atmospheres of the Andes, the seas from his birthplace, and its jungles - where the most powerful medicine is darkly preserved. Juan Pablo Moran, the owner of an energetic and enviable atmosphere, always progressive and innovative, gives us this galactic and suggestive example of his production. Cosmic and consistent, excessive and equilibrated - that's 'Nebula'.

PREMIERE: Juan Pablo Moran - Nebula [Savia Park]

Crosstown Rebels’ sub-label Rebellion returns with a fourth instalment of its ongoing SOULS series, with fresh tracks from a selection of exciting, up-and-coming talent.
Curated by label head Damian Lazarus, Rebellion’s excellent SOULS series has always transcended sounds and scenes to dig deep into the most forward-thinking new electronic niches. It has a deeply embedded spiritual theme, like most projects with which Lazarus is associated, and this volume again connects the dots between a number of innovative producers from across the globe.
Belgrade and Mykonos-based duo MĪMĪ x FY open up with ‘Robotic Mode’, linking with Estray for a silky synth- laced house cut that goes deep into a cosmic future. The deft chords, spoken words and sci-fi signifiers enrich the groove perfectly. Brazil's Vini Pistori is next with ‘Hypnotized’, a scintillating fusion of pixelated melodies and bright, starry-eyed chords over a drawn-out and languid groove that is perfect for the late-night hours.
Frequent collaborators MILI and Hoomance then step up with ‘Casa Mama’, a playful cut with a carnival feel thanks to the characterful horns which bounce about over the crisp drums. It's a track full of soul and sunshine that captures the joy of dancing outdoors. OMRI closes things with the rubbery bass and skewed synth futurism of his off-grid percussive masterclass, 'Funk Rhythm.’
Another taste-making statement from the label and Lazarus, Rebellion presents SOULS Vol.4 is loaded with the sounds of tomorrow across another excellently curated package.
