Solid Grooves Raw welcome rising Brazilian Beltran for his label debut with 'Smack Yo'.

As the end of the summer season draws near, it's safe to say Solid Grooves aren't slowing down as the UK favourites continue to reveal the ID's for a long list of heavily requested unreleased material tested by co-founders Michael Bibi and PAWSA across their Grooves Motel Ibiza season at DC10 and beyond. Tapping into South America's hotbed of emerging talent, the label's sister imprint Solid Grooves Raw heads to Brazil for another label debut as they welcome Beltran for 'Smack Yo'.

A firm favourite of Michael Bibi's and a stand-out track from his sets across 2022, 'Smack Yo' is a murky and twisting peak-time cut armed with punchy drums, warped vocal samples and weighty low-ends - with Solid Grooves Raw offering a perfect home for the Brazilian's first label outing.

💠 Another world is not only possible, she is on her way. On a quiet day, I can hear her breathing. 💠
― Arundhati Roy

A few weeks ago I had the honor & PLEASURE to initiate a new vision and project into the Berlin-o-sphere:  Djing the first Flow Dance | Women's Ecstatic Dance--in the epic Genezareth Church—hosted by a visionary krew of EPIC women that have been feeling a void, and are now filling it with tsunamis of SOUL JUICE and purpose.

💠

This was FAR beyond being a “nice” event hosted by women for women:  this was a declaration of female bodies unapologetically taking in their space, a portal of liberation (recognizing & not bypassing our privileges to dance and move so freely), and it was like we were all collectively drinking a cup of sweet nectar after being in the desert-of-modernity:  our hungry/thirsty bodies were SOAKING up this nourishment & empowerment, clearly revealing how NEEDED such spaces are for the female-bodied, and what a LACK there actually is.

💠

I've been pondering the subtle (and not so subtle) undertones of misogyny that penetrates most aspects of the dominant structures found in our world (that either objectifies or suppresses female bodies, not to mention the suppression of feminine/cyclical nature of all living-sentient-beings)....I've also encountered a LOT of unconscious patterns within the  “conscious-scene” as a female DJ over the years (territorialism competition, entitlement, extraction-based-lack-of-relationality), so this co-creation with these fabulous creatrixes was TRUE NECTAR for my sensitive-rebel-hearted-artist-soul...FULL SUPPORT!

💠 Their next dance is this Monday 26 May, and I highly recommend following these wild flowers:
 @lillyjstone, @jeanneclr & @sara.msso 

💠 Enjoy this proper Womb Tech Flow! 

💠 For the liberation of all beings:  from all systems of inner/outer oppressions.

💠 Love & Devotion, Alma

PS:  You can directly download this track, and just leave a comment for the Track ID:  super happy to share <3

Kupala Natural Sounding -
is the sound of nature itself on a night of miracles,
where water cleanses, fire purifies, and the soul opens up to the elements.

This mix is like the breath of herbs, the rustle of ferns and the pulsation of a starry night,
where ancient rituals come alive in every note,
and music becomes a portal to the mystery.

Here the voice of the earth, the trembling of the air, the fiery sparks of campfires and the warm flesh of water merge,
and the rhythms, like incantations, lead deep down - to oneself, to the roots, to the ancestors.

Kupala Natural Sounding is a sonic journey,
where magic and nature, tree and heart, light and shadow meet.
Music that doesn't just sound -
it sings in the language of the forest, herbs, stars and the living soul.

Kupala Natural Sounding —
это звучание самой природы в ночь чудес,
где вода очищает, огонь очищает, а душа распахивается навстречу стихиям.

Этот микс — как дыхание трав, шорох папоротника и пульсация звёздной ночи,
где древние обряды оживают в каждой ноте,
и музыка становится порталом в тайну.

Здесь сливаются голос земли, трепет воздуха, огненные искры костров и тёплая плоть воды,
а ритмы, будто заклинания, ведут вглубь — к себе, к корням, к предкам.

Kupala Natural Sounding — это звуковое путешествие,
в котором встречаются магия и природа, древо и сердце, свет и тень.
Музыка, что не просто звучит —
она поёт языком леса, трав, звёзд и живой души.

‘Cola’ had barely touched the ground when tastemakers’ ears were pricking up across the board. Having become a byword for quality house music, remaining at the #1 Beatport spot for over a month with their last record, the name CamelPhat and the cult status of the mysterious duo behind it become realised to their fullest with this track. Combining lush, saturated beats with Elderbrook’s crystalline voice which elevates and equalises, ‘Cola’ is an exquisitely sophisticated firecracker. Already snapped up by Danny Howard as his Hottest Record on Radio 1 and championed by the likes of MK, Solomun and Sam Divine, the track demonstrates the full strength of CamelPhat’s unique style and takes them into the upper echelons of today’s finest producers.
