Halia unveils 'Mentira' on Sounds Of Sirin with a mesmerizing remix by the author of our best selling release in 2023, Alex Twin. The EP features the enthralling work of Halia, a French music producer and DJ who has been captivating the electronic music scene from her base in London. Halia's journey began with a classical education, which has since evolved into a rich tapestry of sounds influenced by her travels across Europe, China, the US, the Middle East, and Brazil. Her debut in 2022 on Earthly Delights and Cafe de Anatolia saw her tracks ascend the heights of Beatport's Organic House charts, leading to further releases on influential labels like Alt Orient, Trndmsk, and Tibetania Records.

Halia's latest offering, 'Mentira,' is a testament to her artistic evolution and the diversity of her influences. The track celebrates the vibrant heritage of Andalusian culture, artfully blending the pulsating energy of organic house rhythms with the soul-stirring harmonies of traditional flamenco. Incorporating live percussion, acoustic guitar, and deep, emotive vocals, 'Mentira' is an exploration of love and betrayal, set against the backdrop of Cadiz's lively streets. It's a piece that invites listeners to close their eyes and embark on a journey to distant lands, guided by Halia's melodic soundscapes, traditional live instruments, groovy organic percussions, and ethereal vocals.

Complementing this release is a remix by Alex Twin, a producer whose reputation is rapidly ascending in the electronic music world. With recent EPs on labels such as Bar 25 Music, All Day I Dream, Pipe & Pochet, Bercana Music, and Coya Music, his work has garnered strong support from industry heavyweights like Lee Burridge, Lost Dessert, Blondish, and more. His releases on Bar 25 Music and Sirin Music created a buzz in the electronic music industry, showcasing his continued ascent in his DJ and production career.
