As one of SOLIDE’s founders, Kalyma has been a pivotal member in driving our vision forwards. He returns once again in the two track format with ‘Differences’, chiming in not so long after his ‘Clipper’ EP last year.
‘Differences’ strikes a different chord to some of Kalyma’s previous work. Still in keeping with his rhythmic style, this time round the vocal hook becomes the centrepiece. Underpinned by a swirling nu-disco synthline.
On the remix side, we are pleased to welcome Johannes Albert to the label for the first time. Known for both his production and DJing expertise, his label Frank Music sets a high bar for all things disco. He adds his signature touch to ‘Differences’, reworking Kalyma’s original into a jittering, late night dancefloor cut.

As one third of SOLIDE alongside DYA and MYNY, Kalyma has always had an ear for rhythm that feels somehow kaleidoscopic. In what appears to be a year-on-year schedule for him following 2019’s ‘Tanger Night Drive’ and ‘The Clipper’ in 2020, he returns with ‘Tokyo’.
Coming in once again with rolling pace, multi-layered percussion bubbles under delicately flitting 80’s harps and undulating acid. ‘Tokyo’ feels readily optimistic and romantic, as much as being wholly introspective. It’s yet another crooning sundowner from one of SOLIDE’s key figures.

Kalyma - Yaiza EP - Original
Release: March 30th 2018
Solide: www.solide-label.com
Traxsource pre release: https://www.traxsource.com/track/5154014/yaiza

With his latest release 'Yaiza' on Solide Marc travels geographically and musically to southern regions for two reasons: 'Yaiza' is the southernmost township in Lanzarote and the identitically named track represents Kalyma's preference for rhythmical- and synth-driven music that surely is connected to the warmth of the aforementioned surrounding. 'Yaiza' portrays the picture of a rural landscape which is filled with little life depicted by the marching in bass line in the beginning of the track. But as soon as the lead-synth sets in the imagined place turns into a lively gathering that vanishes into thin air when the bass line stops. Nandu's remix of 'Yaiza' emphasizes the deepness of the original's synth-melody and creates a rather minimalistic version that manages to keep the original's vibe but leads the track into a darker musical direction.  'Yaiza' is one track, shown from two different perspectives and taking you on several musical journeys!

Info:
After D.Y.A's and Kalyma's collaboration for Solide's eights catalogue number, latter returns solo for the label's latest release, 'Rites EP', a three tracker consisting of two original cuts and a remix. In traditional Kalyma manner and part of his trademark sound the Berlin based producer delivers an excessive drum-influenced EP opener, 'Rites', that signifies its dance floor potential within the first minute and teases with an incisive chord which marks the introduction of the track's coming in subtle key-melody. As the track continues Kalyma sprinkles with accentuated synth-chords that adapt to the overall harmonies and set new auditory stimuli before the track enfolds its full peak-time potential. Kalyma's second cut, 'Red Man Calypso', comes in an original version and a Whitesquare remix. As the original highlights whizzling and sizzling synth pads that create late summer esthetics over a proper house bassline, Whitesquare's remix approach concentrates on the low frequencies as the Italian producer implements a reduced bassline smoothly supporting the synth-chords which he adapted from the original. Due to the reduction the remix depicts a multi-layered almost paradox atmosphere buoyant and joyful on the one side, dark and desperate on the other the listener is torn between but never lost as the beauty and life-affirming vibe prevails.

A label made of three key players, Berlin’s SOLIDE recently expanded their family, welcoming fond musical acquaintances into the fold with a various artists compilation; Solid(e) State Vol 1. Resuming form, one third of the core, Kalyma, returns for another solo expedition to the club with his ‘Tanger Night Drive’ EP. Berlin-via-Gran Canaria, Kalyma’s percussive style of club music wields a certain charm. Whisking us away on a pacey drive through the Morrocan night, Kalyma rolls through the deep mysticism of Tangier in the title track; ‘Tanger Night Drive’. A pulsing kick and punky bass, meet the melodious tune of steel pan chimes and whispering crickets in the low-line. Tom rhythms and arpeggios intensify, encapsulating the racey, blissful energy of a night in Tangier. Making a complete U-turn, synth-led ‘Arlequin’ brings real rave emotion. Vibey percussion underpins the experience, whilst a distinct air of grit comes through in dubbed out, euphoric keys. Heart strings tug, souls stir, a second mesmeric piano line seals the deal; all elements combine and compliment. Closing out the journey, Ancient Egyptian devotee and Budapest native, Sobek comes through on the remix adding his distinguished touch to ‘Tanger Night Drive’; subverting the flow and capitalising on the toms, before adding his own depth with moody, semi-ominous twinges. Unveiling a staunch knowledge and passion for club music, Kalyma’s ‘Tanger Night Drive’ EP promises to steer dancefloors in new, unimagined directions.

Tender Games - Delusion (Kalyma Remix)

Release Date:
2020 has been quite the year, not only for obvious reasons but also in our release schedule. After welcoming the wondrous Cosmo & Kramer to the label with their nu-disco delights on ‘Bingo Fun’ EP, we now see SOLIDE family member, Kalyma, returning with a solo release in the form of ‘Clipper’.
It’s been a moment since Kalyma appeared on the label alone, having teamed up with D.Y.A. back in January for another edition of their ‘Operator’ series. In the control seat on ‘Clipper’, Kalyma follows up last year’s ‘Tanger Night Drive’ EP, bringing forward his innate knack for well-crafted rhythms.
On ‘Clipper’, punchy kicks lay the foundation alongside ticking cowbells and funky synths. Kalyma injects a certain glow with warm chords, all wrapped up in a distinctly juicy melody. The perfect soundtrack for sundown sets.
