Shocked by the essence of ‘macabre’, Swiss multi-instrumentalist and producer Jimi Jules refers to the first surviving animal sent into space in his upcoming EP “Ham The Monkey”. With a speed of 4,500 km/h, the four year old monkey “Ham” was the first living being fired into the atmosphere. A journey against his will.

Jules reflects the feelings and sounds felt from being trapped and out of control throughout the tracks - notably in “Grumpy Monkey” and
“Tinnitus". Continuing the development of interplay between the artist and listener whilst endeavoring to blur the worlds of sound and art, the EP features evolving imagery created by digital artists Claudia Rafael and Pascal Wiemers.

PRAKTIKA & JAHELLE - Zélé - PALMS TRAX REMIX

Back in Paris after six intense years in West Africa, the little genius of afrotech-house returns with 10 intense tracks and the best musicians to join him in african studio session (Mali, Burkina and Côte D'ivoire): Lansiné Kouyaté, Innocent Kimpe and the fabulous singer jahelle on his new album "Balani Factory", released on April 12 on Blanc Manioc (distributed by Baco - Idol).
Reflections of his travels, reflections of his imaginations, and tutelary figures, our favorite bagpacker takes a little more the road of the African western with his synthesizers as his only compass. The common thread that quickly becomes apparent is an instrument that has spanned the centuries: the balafon, and the story of the mysterious singer with the tragic destiny of "Zélé de Papara"!
Together with singer Jahelle, they pay her an emotionnal tribute on the eponymous track.
After listening to this single, released at the beginning of the year, the famous DJ and producer PALMS TRAX joined Praktika and took over the tracks for a remix, an 8-minute epic in the pure house tradition, with transcendental harmonic progression and evolving rhythm.

Walk On By

I was super excited to take the opportunity to produce a track for the El Tony Producer Academy. I'm really looking forward to hearing feedback from the artist Natascha Polké. This has been a great chance to level up my skills and collaborate with real pros in the industry.

The Sunchasers has been releasing quality music consistently for more than a decade, keeping his signature sound in constant evolution with a balance between innovation and identity. 

This time, 'Tribe' EP is another statement from Scott, exploring Deep House from a more introspective but energic perspective that we are sure you will like. Enjoy!

Remixer: Mihai Popoviciu
Title: Dizzy Rhythm EP
Cat.Nr.: HA101

1. Dizzy Rhythm
2. Dizzy Rhythm (Mihai Popoviciu Remix)
3. Hazy Vision

Coming in fresh for the summer season with their third outing on Hive Audio is the Swiss duo named Sous Sol with a follow up to their massive „Taonga EP“. Bringing forth two new original tracks and a remix by Romanian electronic music staple Mihai Popoviciu, their new release the „Dizzy Rhythm EP“, fully lives up the pairings high quality standards and is soon to be heard on a dancefloor near you.

Opening with the title track „Dizzy Rhythm“ Sous Sol are employing a deep, tribalistic vibe for a start,  fusing intricate, complex percussion lines with a seductive TechHouse groove and masterly crafted synth arrangements bringing forth a well balanced amount of mystique and drive ideal for intimate late settings as well as epic moments throughout large scale sunrise sessions.

On a remix tip for „Dizzy Rhythm“ is no-one less than Mihai Popoviciu. The Romanian Techno legend who's left a trail of releases on high quality labels like International Deejay Gigolo, Poker Flat Recordings, Bedrock Records and many more over the years turns towards a more dancefloor focused  approach in his rework, strips things down a little, adds quite a distinct, stoic hi-hat whilst staying true to a certain, dreamlike and well trance inducing feel for an ultimate lift-off.

Finally „Hazy Vision“ sees Sous Sol on a well funky tip, once again bringing forth masterly crafted percussion vibes alongside a classic uplifting pad motif harking back to a mid-90s House vibe accompanied by large scale build-ups and the duos trademark mysticism, all falling into place to channel dancefloor energies towards a huge, and surely inevitable, climax.

Biographie
PRAKTIKA (France, Blanc Manioc)

French music producer and DJ Jérôme Fouqueray (aka Praktika) has twelve years of experience in music and was looking for new sounds and influences when he turned his ears onto the other side of the Mediterranean sea.
In 2014, he took his music machines for the first time to the warm lands of West Africa - a musical playground so reach in possibilities that he settled there. Burkina Faso, Ivory Coast, Mali, Nigeria, Benin, Chad, Senegal... Praktika lives to- day between these various countries, hungry for new sonic palettes, new musical structures and workflow to spice up his own music productions.
It took him five years to develop a sound outside the beaten tracks, often through live improv sessions & jams with local instrumentists.
His dj-sets paint a road-movie where dark techno blends with South African Gqom, Chicago house and West African rhythms and sounds. Each set always co- mes with with a touch of surprising turns, brought about by Praktika’s fresh edits of old African tunes.
