Combining sounds, cultures and influences, SELA brings PAAX’s groovy experimental sound into a new realm — with Cape Town’s Sakhe The Conqueror’s delivering powerful isiXhosa vocals to elevate and bring people together.

PAAX have infused the record with a joyful energy and rhythm, blending irresistibly catchy guitar licks from Cuban player Emilio Campos Rojas with Sakhe’s lyrics, ones that encourage us to drink the water of life (or to take the music as a message of healing, in and of itself). In addition, renowned producer Jean Claude Ades provides a club focused remix, sprinkling uplifting melodies to channel the essence of the setting sun.

This record emerged from a partnership between Scorpios Music and Bridges For Music — an NGO dedicated to empowering young creatives from under-served communities in Cape Town. All proceeds from the record will be donated to Bridges For Music.

Sakhe The Conqueror, an alumnus of Bridges Academy, was discovered by BFM Records, a leading independent South African label, dedicated to supporting artists in realizing their vision and reaching global audiences.

PAAX feat. Sakhe The Conqueror -  SELA (Original Mix)

Welcome to my SoundCloud! I'm a passionate DJ who has been deeply immersed in the realms of melodic techno, organic house, and progressive house for the past two years. As a long-time listener turned creator, I thrive on crafting sets that take you on a journey through lush soundscapes and pulsating rhythms. Whether you're here to discover new tracks or lose yourself in the groove, I'm excited to share my musical explorations with you. Let's vibe together!

Scorpios Music is a field research endeavor probing into the synaesthetic potentiality of music, an imprint for an exploratory strain of various danceable and listenable genres, and a testimony to how — in concrete experiential terms — music is the most vigorous, meaningful, and beautiful language in the world. 

With a focus on electronic music exhibiting subtle-to-bold elements of the primeval and far-flung, Scorpios Music is the immortalization of a soundscape — that which Scorpios Mykonos has traversed since materializing as a club in 2015 throughout the process of establishing itself to near-universal acclaim as a tribal enclave of eudaimonic hedonism and the seedbed of aesthetically oriented empathetic sociality.
