Sol Selectas proudly presents the debut solo EP from rising Egyptian talent MÖW, featuring three original tracks and a remix by fellow Egyptian artist and Sol Selectas alum, Hot Oasis. This EP blends traditional Egyptian sounds and ancient musical scales with a modern electronic flair, resulting in irresistibly danceable tracks that feel both timeless and cutting-edge. Its a fresh unique sound, which steers away from the obvious Afro House sample pack drums,  focusing more on true drum rhythms native to the region where this EP was born.

“Hayyah featuring Nass Makan“ opens the EP with a beautiful long intro played on the classic Mizmir Baladi instrument, taking us deep into the desert to a festive celebration. Pulsating bass and sharp percussion keep the song moving, and the romantic lyrics from Nass Makan are a flirtatious serenade to a beautiful woman. 

“Ya Habayeb” is a powerful track utilizing the oriental “bayat” scale, and showcases the classic instruments of zurna, oud, duff, riq, and tabla. The gorgeous oud solo on the breakdown perfectly balances with the rhythmic percussion and layered synth sounds to ignite the dance floor.  

The remix from Hot Oasis of “Ya Habayeb” is equally as strong, leaning more into an indie dance groove, focusing on the zurna instrument on the break, and adding his signature synth stab rhythmic grooves. 

And finally we finish with “Disco Saba”, a fun Indie Organic  tune interpreting the traditional “Saba” melodic scale. The funky arpeggios sound like analog synths, but are actually played live on the Zurna and Mizmir instruments. The infectious  breakdown awakens the dance floor packing a powerful but playful punch. 

The artwork by Helia Jamali takes us through the lucid dreamscape of the pyramids where the serpents dance in the sand and the blue lotus flower blossoms.
