Kuwaiti Samri is Gulf folk music with a gentle 2/4 sway and a soft frame-drum pulse. In many gatherings you hear interlocking handclaps and chant-like refrains that rise and settle with a warm communal feel. This piece offers a modern instrumental take that features violin as a surrogate for the genre’s lead vocals. The usual call and response is set aside so the core sway remains, carried by a singing melodic line while a quiet frame drum keeps time. The result is intimate and cyclical, with phrases that lean into the beat, float above it, and return to the theme for a calm, hypnotic flow. It gives first-time listeners a clear window into Samri’s rhythmic heart without the crowd energy that typically surrounds it.

[CREATIVE NOTE]
This arrangement adopts the violin as the principal melodic voice throughout, drawing on the Kuwaiti ṣawt tradition to stand in for Samri’s vocal line. Violin is not standard in classic Samri settings. Its use here is an intentional compositional choice that preserves the style’s gentle sway and measured cadence while presenting the melody instrumentally for clarity and learning.

Folklore Interlude - Samri Style Instrumental

We love Jon Tye here at Ransom Note Towers, in all his many guises. Last time we spoke to him was for a wonderful Label Love piece on the 20th anniversary of his Lo Recordings imprint. This year he's been busy as always, releasing the 'Peaks' album under his Brain Machine moniker with Guido Zen and Kyle Martin, as well as blessing us with 'Escape Hatch', the fourth Seahawks album.

Jon has been so kind as to make us a mix of original material, so every track is either produced or co-produced by himself. With material from Seahawks, Brain Machine, Cherry Garcia and Pink Fluid nestled within, we feel pretty sure you're gonna enjoy it as much as us.

Jon Tye: The Ransom Note Mix

Very few have the capacity or grit to maintain longevity within dance and electronic music, many have tried but become swept up amidst the chaos and strife of the industry in a fickle and uncompromising climate. Bushwacka! is a producer and disc jockey with whom many will be familiar and fond - he remains a UK icon of sorts having released amidst the classic era of acid house and then evolved through his collaborations with Layo during the golden age of dance music in Ibiza. He has dabbled in a spectrum of genres but most notably during the nineties he was involved in an emerging, interesting tech house sound which has since been reborn as of late with reissues by the likes of Holding Hands amongst others. Perhaps an unsung hero of the genre his music sounds just as relevant and enticing now as it did back in the 90's...

These days appearances from Bushwacka! are sparse, a man with no need to impress he is now in a luxurious position in which he can pick his own gigs with care and attention to detail. Hence having the chance to observe him play at present is rare.

This summer Layo and Bushwacka! will return for a special appearance at Campo Sancho, a small countryside festival with a big heart and a passion which was born amidst the hedonistic days of Notting Hill Carnival. It promises to be a blistering demonstration of what the duo have achieved through their sound and commitment to dance music across many years. 

In celebration of this, we invited Bushwacka! to take us through some of the formative music in his career, a deeply old school set showcasing fantastic take in deep house and tech house in all their glory. This one is a little bit special....
