Some times the music just magically comes out, and that is the case here with "Syria" by new Sol*Selectas artist Unders from Amsterdam. After several successful tunes above the 120 BPM mark on labels like Sincopat and Groove On, "Syria" was Unders' first attempt at slower grooves, and an accidental experiment that just "fell into place, and was automatic magic". Syria's current political unrest is all over the news and social media, and the story being painted is difficult to watch. Driven to create a song which goes against all the negative publicity, Unders says "between all the negativity, the more i looked into the situation, the country, its people and its culture, the more this track reminded me of so much beauty the media doesn’t portray." The song itself a slow minimal trip with chopped up guitar licks, a gorgeous flute sample that takes the listener to far off desert lands, and features the vocals of Veerle.  Satori is yet another up and coming producer from the Netherlands, gaining instant recognition sharing the stage and studio with Acid Pauli, and producing incredible tunes utilizing live instruments played by himself, and tastefully incorporating these with electronic elements. His remix preserves the original message of "Syria" lowering the BPM to an even more hypnotic 104 BPMs. Satori adds middle eastern strings and chords, swapping out the original vocal for a more Saharan inspired call, and even plays delicately with some acid sounds furthering the listeners journey.  
Both songs are meant to invoke peaceful images of Syria, and conjure up positive intention on the dance floor. Sol*Selectas is very excited to present the debut song "Syria" from Unders, and the amazing remix by Satori,  two artists from the Netherlands you would do well to keep your eyes and ears open to in 2016.

Artist:	Steve Menta
Title:	Symptomatic
Label:	!Organism
Release: 	13th June 2016
Cat. No.	ORGA104

Just as the temperature starts to rise for summer, !Organism keeps on serving up some of Europe’s hottest techno. Behind their next one is Portugal’s Steve Menta, who offers up three tracks of searing club beats with a fine remix from Xpansul. 

Menta has been part of the LX Music crew since 2008. He veers from melodic house to darker techno and does so on labels like Troia and Superbia. With fans like Paco Osuna and Nick Warren playing his beats, and his DJ diary taking him all over the world, Menta is a real techno player. 

Up first is the fulsome ‘Symptomatic,’ a paranoid and large scale groove with big drums, turbulent synths and a dark sense of energy that powers the whole thing along with real force. Remixing this one is the hugely prolific Xpansul, a Spanish artist with many aliases and more than 50 EPs to his name on the likes of Ovum, Perc and Analytic Trail. His version is industrial and menacing, boisterous and hugely textured, with flaming drums and massive hi-hats demanding you stomp along to the groove. 

Elsewhere, the hugely atmospheric ‘Alchemist’ is a dubbed out roller with spine-tingling and chilly hi-hats ticking along above deep drums as warm pads smear out in all directions. It is one for the heads and the back rooms, whilst ‘Unveiled’ is a much more banging and peak time track with incendiary hi-hat ringlets, slamming drums and intense synths that fire every synapse. 

This is another on point EP jam packed with dance floor dynamite.
