Greetings from the San Francisco Bay Area. Fine mix! Enjoying all your tracks. Truly and original take on downtempo/chill.

This is a retro trip going back over my musical journey since Day one, highlighting not musical titles as such but styles that are inspired by them. It's a musical reminiscence that lasts one hour, a story told in the 4th Art, an approach rather subjective than conventional, a scrupulous and meticulous concoction of tracks will embark you in the deepest of my most touching memories.

"Decompression Reverie"

Had the honor to play the closing set of the wedding of two dear friends hosted at Cielos in southern California. Chill and eclectic vibes to help almost a hundred wedding guests come down from an epic and beautiful 3 days in the desert.

Out Now On Wind Horse Records:

1.   Laya
2.  Aria

.
Helmed by Hamza, New Delhi’s Wind Horse Records returns with “Laya,” a collaboration between Zone+ & Usif from Bahrain (the biggest House Music export from the Middle East). Following separate releases on Day I Dream, Underyourskin Records, and Sol Selectas, Zone+ & Usif collaborated on releases for Akumandra/Underyourskin and Talavera Records before collaborating on “Laya”

“Laya” is another in the impressive Wind Horse roster seamlessly melding house music rhythms, traditional instrumentation from Indian and other world music in superlative production standards. The title track is a meandering jaunt through lush soundscapes, deep grooves, percussive and hypnotic house. Haunting flute, keys, and pads weave contemplative strains throughout. “Aria” is a slappy late-night affair with driving bass sounding sonar depths and building slowly with unexpected vocals and polyrhythmic treatments, mounting new surprise midway through the nearly 10-minute opus. Give “Laya” a spin, and be prepared for transport to a globe-spanning ride suited to dancefloors everywhere.

Nick Warren (The Soundgarden) – “Both tracks are really cool.”  
Fer Ferrari (Deepclass Records) – “Aria is the one for me. Nice.”

Aryan Sharma (Dimension Radio) – “I really like how ‘Laya’ flows.”  
Ejaz Ahamed (Global Mission / Proton Radio) – “These guys are on fire lately.  Great EP.”  
SimonG / Deep South Audio (Volcano Radio) – “Both tunes are ripe for my deep house sets … Lovely.”  
Al Bradley (3am Recordings) – “Really strong, warm vibes here.  Aria stood out on the initial listen, but both have real quality running through them.”  
Black Alley (In Control Radio Show) – “Beautiful soundscapes take you on a journey through the Middle East and Asia.  Cool stuff!”

With “the blackbook translations” series, Solar Moon showcases their ongoing love for dub versions & remix work - highlighting the essence of their latest album “Blackbook” by letting talented friends in high places take another fresh perspective on its original chapters. Open mind for a different view.

Budapest based chillwave superheroes GELKA (who just compiled & mixed the most recent CAFE DEL MAR compilation) teamed up with fellow hungarian producer FORTEBA for a sensationally smooth reinterpretation of Solar Moon’s “The way we fall” featuring Washington based love poet JEN… sounding like the perfect soundtrack to a magic sunday morning ice skate excursion on frozen lake Balaton of sorts.  

MASSIVAN, renown DJ/producer from Ibiza’s neighboring island Formentera (and acclaimed regular contributor to compilations like HOTEL COSTES), takes the downtempo bubble funk of the original “dibidibi” (featuring the uniquely treated vocals of Abiodun aka Don Abi) on a sailing trip through the more balearic part of the mediterranean sea on a bright, clear & warm summerday.

Meanwhile, Germany’s most authentic and experienced dub/reggae masterproducer DUBVISIONIST transcends the rather fragile original vibe of “the way we fall” into minimalistic roots drenched outer space, adding a massive amount of atmospheric subfrequencies… plus those mesmerizing dubs & delays of course.

With the additional bonus of  the mystic “Rishikesh Hop”, (a carefully edited, exclusive preview pointing towards the next SOLAR MOON longplayer “redbook” by the way), “the Blackbook translations” first chapter is a rather good read all by itself indeed. More where this came from? Soon!

A driven groove, a solid low end and tailor-made chords and lines are parts of Stefan Obermaier’s signature sound. This time it’s all packed into a piece called “Odori“; a term that has its origins in Japanese traditional dance.

Odori

Odori (Original Mix)

Downtempo collective from Cologne, Germany, established in 1994. 

Tom Dams, George Solar & Razoof are Solar Moon. With seminal albums like „Logbook“ (2000)„ Guestbook“ (2003) and "Blackbook" (2018) plus "The Blackbook Translations Vol. 1" EP (2020) under the belt, Solar Moon (aka Solar Moon System) is also known for intens(iv)e collaborations with electronic music pioneer Klaus Schulze. These resulted in the extraordinary Klaus Schulze & Solar Moon longplayers "Docking" (2001) and „Ultimate Docking“ (2017).

The long-and-winding-road story of Solar Moon now goes into its 27th year, continuing with a new chapter - which in reality turns out to be another book! And there it is:  "Redbook" (2021)
