ॐ MANTRA

is a sacred utterance, a numinous sound, a syllable, word or phonemes, or group of words in Sanskrit believed by practitioners to have psychological and spiritual powers. In more sophisticated forms, mantras are melodic phrases with spiritual interpretations such as a human longing for truth, reality, light, immortality, peace, love, knowledge, and action. Some mantras have no literal meaning, yet are musically uplifting and spiritually meaningful...

HMWL Premiere: DJ Sabo - Singing Game (Metrika Remix)

I'm thrilled to announce the release of my next EP 'In The Company of Others' on GLITTER COWBOY!

I made this EP at a pivotal moment in my life; during deciding whether to stay in LA or move back to Europe. Unsure about how to proceed, I'd made these two tracks and named them in memory of my nearest big cross streets for the past year; 'Ventura' and 'Laurel Canyon'. Flash forward a month and I've decided to commit to staying in LA. I'm living with some of the most wonderful and inspiring people I know and weirdly enough - as if the track title foreshadowed what would happen once I decided to stay - we've just moved to Laurel Canyon!

I'm feeling so inspired, life is beautiful and I can't wait for you to hear what I've got lined up for you over the next few months.

Keeping in style with the previous releases on the label, 'I Won’t Change For You’ is a hazy and organic journey through memories of times and places passed.

‘Familiar Feeling’ feels like stumbling into a hidden disco in the midst of dream, full of sultry drums and emotive soundscapes.

‘Dusty Lover’ is the tale of being seduced by nature. The strong tribal rhythms lay the foundation for the erotic and entrancing sound of a flute in love.

Chasing Affection symbolises an unapologetic cry for love. Booming drums take centre stage until frequent collaborator Carmen Vandenberg steals our hearts with a haunting guitar led lament. It’s a simple track, but nevertheless effective in conveying an emotion that we’ve all felt countless times before.

There Is Joy Yet

In our lives, music tends to play a multi-faceted role where it can do things like help you connect with those around you. But at the same time, it can be used as a powerful tool for self-reflection and healing - and often, this is when we need music the most. The latter is where we find the Mallorcan producer TÂCHES with his recent release Lessons In Loss on Glitter Cowboy.

Recently, the young producer went through one of the hardest experiences anyone can go through. In a Facebook post from yesterday, TÂCHES talks candidly around the focus of this EP, stating, "Since I lost my father in June, life is very different these days. Not necessarily on the outside, but it's certainly a whole new world on the inside looking out. I chose to dedicate the first half of this new EP to him, as a tribute to his wonderful and missed spirit."

We are fortunate to be premiering an original from the first half of the record. It is poignantly titled Fallen Bird and I could only surmise that TÂCHES  is referring to his father in the piece. Throughout its entirety, TÂCHES manages to create a magical, almost unsettling mood that makes one feel weightless and grounded simultaneously. As if you were actually watching a bird fall out of the sky, taking in all its majestic beauty while being helpless to stop its inevitable crash towards earth. If I had to guess, there are probably a lot of parallels from this imagery and what TÂCHES most likely experienced with his father earlier this year. Our hearts go out to him and we wish him the best in dealing with his loss.

TÂCHES - Lessons In Loss

PREMIERE: TÂCHES - Fallen Bird

An artist with a profound sense of belief and inner strength, Erdi Irmak's story continues to write itself through the creative arts. Returning to Proton Music, the Turkish producer reveals himself through a "Hidden Arcadia".

Through music art and cinema, Erdi has combined the cultural sounds of his homeland with the world of electronic music, bringing together the juxtaposed ideals of Asia and Europe that divide the city across the banks of the vast Bosphorous. The harmony of nature so central to the very concept of a Greek arcadia has provided Erdi with a place of tranquillity from which to nurture a creative process. Striving to recognize and positively use the experiences of a difficult past, "Hidden Arcadia" is a reflection of my inner world"; a place to escape the drudgery and sadness of a real world filled with uncertainty and violence.

A glissando lead line flows gently from the snapping four/four beat of "Nothing Lasts" while another female vocal wraps itself around the tight groove in a velvet cloak. A combination of strings and delayed motifs appear in a stripped back breakdown before rhythms and melody filter into range in the second half. 

An artist with a vital story to tell, Erdi Irmak showcases an oasis of calm and beauty in his "Hidden Arcadia".

We hope you enjoy this track as much as we do.

Romance is dead? Romance is as alive as you decide to be. Much like death, romance gives us the chance to really work out the balance between who we are and who we want to be, where we’ve been and where we’re going. We get free reign to go a little mad and be a touch more vulnerable than we are usually. It’s the closeness to consciousness coupled with the distance from routine that makes it such a unique experience. In celebration of romance and naked passion, I present to you the first song of five that make up ‘Heart Over Heels’, my sixth EP on Glitter Cowboy.

Vocals: @arumflowers

'Heart Over Heels' will be released on the 24th of January.

Sol Selectas is an American label run by Sabo and the imprint shares its owners love for tribal grooves and melody rich synth lines.

The label's latest offering is from Mexico based Metrika who is best known to many for his residency at the Day Zero festival organised by Damian Lazarus. He has also released tracks on labels including Crosstown Rebels, Akbal Music and Hot Waves.

Metrika previously featured on Sol Selectas in 2017 when he reworked a track from Sabo’s album as part of the remix pack, but this time he is back as a fully-fledged member of the label's family with an EP of his own original music.

“Yo Nací” opens the release with vocals taken from the traditional Icaros ceremony, and the track is influenced by a shamanistic out of body experience where Metrika was witness to his own death, only to be reborn with a fresh start at life. Capturing the spiritual mood of the ceremony and blending it with club friendly sounds, he has created an intense dance floor experience.

Press Info: "Ukrainian producer Lessovsky makes his debut on Plaisirs Sonores Records by delivering a top quality deep emotional track. 

On remix duty, Zone+, who already released on great labels like All Day I Dream, Anjunadeep and Tale & Tone, lightens the track by removing some shakers and presenting a more classic deep house version of the track. Last but not least label bosses Hicky & Kalo put their proggy touch on New Ritual by creating a groovy and driving version of the track."

Press Info: "With two decades of musical experience behind them, Wild Dark continue to develop their enticing sounds and knack of crafting wide-eyed club tracks and debut on Audiofly’s Supernature label with the ‘We Rise Together’ EP.
