Bosa 2 Bosa (Moving Still Sunrise Edit)

Toronto based @Dacou serves up the latest instalment in the Sinchi Edits series.

Words from the man himself...

'Kenedougou Foly' is a song kindred to its composer, Neba Solo - both are rooted in the historical and cultural legacy of Mali and Western Africa. Hailing from the Kenedougou region of southeastern Mali, Solo and the balafon (modified xylophone) masterclass he provides on the title track of his debut album are a fitting tribute to his homeland, the historic Kenedougou Kingdom of the Traorè dynasty.

The song begins with an invocation or call to attention "Ayeh Na”, as Neba Solo begins to provide commentary on the socio-economic issues faced by the people of Kenedougou. The song also speaks about the environmental degradation of the land and acknowledges the struggles faced by its people, while calling for collective action from the world to address these issues facing Western Africa.

I chose this particular song because I’ve always appreciated the sound and emotional response of West African music, Mali in particular. From Oumou Sangare and Fatoumata Diawara to the Tuareg sounds of Bombino and Tinariwen, Malian sounds resonate worlds over despite people not immediately understanding the words being spoken. Kenedougou Foly is such a track that just elicits a heartfelt feeling, stemming from Neba Solo’s infectious vocals, a call and response from backup vocalists, as well as his prodigious bafalon playing that is at the core of his genius.

My approach was quite simple. As folk songs of this archetype are usually bereft of electronic or Western dance elements, I added what I felt was necessary to provide a high-energy and hard-hitting version to be played out and played loud. Starting and ending with Neba Solo’s call for attention seemed fitting, sandwiched between Italo-style arp bass, some 303 acid sounds, and a 4/4 beat to tie everything together.

SINCHI EDITS 24 - Neba Solo - Kenedougou Foly (Dacou Edit)

DJs Concret and Inigo Vontier unite as a duo, The Diyeis: a crocodilian-simian fusion of primeval sound, uniting mammal and reptile. Their mission is to harness "the primal, tribal effect of ecstasy on the dancefloor" - this is, of course, a target which many producers shoot for, and yet whose tiny red bullseye few are actually able to hit. 'Ritmo' and 'Skat' opt for a different, rather minimal approach to achieve the same "primal" effect, contrasting the usual cliches of hide-taut hand drum and nighttime ghost-dance chants. The Diyeis don't need to abide such tritenesses; their claim is that the tendency towards primordial dancing always already exists in us, without requiring evocation in style. 'Muevelo', in fact, entirely upends anything we'd expect of a "primal, tribal" release, bringing digi-redux hats jacked to high, clipped heaven, and weird FX, which reach a similar, and yet more unconfined head on B2 'Lo Que Pasa'.

PREMIERE : The Diyeis - Skat (Edit)

The great French pop diva aesthetic in an ultra-chill mood with funky minimalism and late-night soul melancholia at the fifth volume of Tooflie Edits.

Hot on the heels of previous explorations of Hindustani, East Bloc, pan-Asian, and Brazilian cultural touchstones, Tooflie now pays homage to the vocal eroticism that beats at the heart of French pop music. The fourth faceless wizards once again bring their magical touch to uncharted musical territory, employing a precise process of cuts and edits in service of Tooflie's groove agenda.

Trisolaris is a four-track EP by Louis de Tomaso and Jo Kazan, rooted in neo-Italo with early trance influences. Across the release, lush pads and rave-inspired synths drive a focused, dancefloor-ready sound.

The title track opens with bold synth work, classic Orch-Hit stabs, and a peak-time energy built to move. Gjora follows with darker momentum — built around arpeggiated basslines and the duo’s signature blend of futuristic textures and nostalgic chords.

Remix support comes from Slow Motion Records head Fabrizio Mammarella, who reimagines Gjora with stripped-down acid tension, and Port Manteau, whose version of Trisolaris leans into raw 90s rave house with a tightly looped, club-focused spin.

For fans of: neo-Italo, acid, 90s rave, club-focused electronics.

Berlin-based and wildly talented Heidenreich present “Musaluna”. With a raw energy and a one-of-a-kind psycho-creative twist, every second of his track brings something unexpected — sharp, textured, and hitting all the right nerves.

Our summer 2025 addition to the Edit Series comes from @arashandquasar

In his own words, The song “Otdavali Molodu” (“They Gave the Young Bride Away”) is one of the first and most striking hits by the Soviet VIA (Vocal-Instrumental Ensemble) “Ariel,” arranged by Valery Yarushin based on a traditional Russian folk tune. The foundation of the piece is a traditional folk melody, but Yarushin infused it with rock intonations, which gave the ensemble its distinctive and recognizable style. Thanks to this song, Yarushin earned the respect of rock musicians, folk enthusiasts, and even academic audiences.

Why is the song important?

It’s a perfect example of the synthesis between folk motifs and modern musical forms: folklore + rock, an unconventional genre for a VIA. The song captures the spirit of its time, the 1970s, the heyday of Soviet folk rock and a period of musical boldness.

Thanks to this track, “Ariel” transcended the borders of Chelyabinsk and even the USSR, becoming recognized both across Eastern Europe and within the Soviet Union.

“Otdavali Molodu” is not just a hit by “Ariel” — it’s a symbol of an entire era: the beginning of the ensemble’s musical evolution, a successful example of folk-rock fusion, and a song that truly influenced listeners and the development of the Soviet music scene.

The Week's Got Talent - DJ CONTEST - Wemerson Vougan

HRDF: How did you discover the original track? Why did you choose to edit it?

@hanzoandyaman : the story of this edit is very unusual. At the time we started the edit we were living together in Vienna. Yaman discovered the track ''The Groove Is In The Heart'' by Deee-Lite in Hanzo's sample folder. It's such a crazy piece of music that even one short line of the vocals makes you think of several different ways to make something new out of it, which was actually the main motivation to start this project. Then we added some keys on it, which we recorded with an old Casio keyboard from the early 90's which gave the whole sample loop another twist. A big part of the percussions are taken from cooking pots and other gadgets from our kitchen.

HF : Where did you discover this song ? Why do you choose to edit it ? 
Mishell : The reason I created this song is because of my love for Moroccan music and its culture.
The first time I was exposed to the Moroccan music was in my grandmother's house, she was born and grew up in Morocco and then moved with her family to Israel in the early 50'. 
I grew up in Israel with a lot of Arabic music around and I am a fan of Middle East artists, in generally, this is something that is rooted in the Israeli-Arab culture and the melodies have always accompanied me threw my life here. A few years after I started producing electronic music I already knew that I must create a version of my own, in order to continue my grandmother's music.

Creative offspring of the musical fantasies of @Tushen_Rai and @CorneliusDoctor, Hard Fist brings together a passionate, supportive and activist party scene. Celebrating a globalized - but far from rootless - dancefloor where Turkish psychedelia, Lithuanian cold wave, Central African percussion and Indonesian polyphonic chants blend, Hard Fist crosses time and borders with a singular attachment to the folk music of trance, the kind that marks spiritual gatherings and festive rituals. Shaping the technological meeting of man and machine, the Hard Fist sound brings the experience as much on the dancefloor as in the calm of a Bedouin tent, always off the beaten track, with a free heart and clenched fists.

The label has been releasing collective records with artists such as Bawrut, Balam, A-Tweed, Omri Smadar, Matias Aguayo, Fantastic Twins, Philou Louzolo, Deena Abdelwahed, Curses, Dengue Dengue Dengue, Martin Noise, J.A.K.A.M., Omar Joesoef, MR TC, Pletnev, Anastasia Zems, John Parsey, Errortica, The Juan MacLean, Khidja, Roe Deers, Cosmo Vitelli, Ground, Sascha Funke, Fargo Devianti & Vongold, Daniel Monaco, Fringe Society, Elfenberg, Timothy Clerkin, A-Tweed, Ko Shin Moon, Lokier, Pletnev, nICo, Strapontin, Simple Symmetry, Que Sakamoto, Kubebe, Jonathan Kusum, Kaan Duzarat, Los Ninos Del Parque, Feller, Mekine U Teksi, Bab, Linja, Lion's Drum, Mishell, Ayma, Kincaid, Balam, Juan To Tree, Mytron & Ofofo, Niv Ast, Damon Jee, Thomass Jackson, Rina, Fabio Me Llaman Soltero, Hipless, N.O.Y, Oded Gafni, Radial Gaze, Fabio Fabio, Omar Joesoef, Da Iguana, Neskeh, Warum and all artists that collaborated to our edit series Re-Phrase Collection...
