Why Bam Vol 3 - The Chillout Session

FLAMING HEARTS 
~September 26th at the Haven Underground in Nevada City, CA~

A FUNdraiser event for the Northern California Fire Victims with DAKINI, MR ROGERS, SHARU and the LEAPIN' LYGRESS

This live mix was recorded at Ecstatic Dance in Nevada City with the sentiment to be a catalyst for releasing the grief from the loss that our community has experienced from the fires of Northern California. (I was soaking at Harbin Hot Springs just a couple hours before it burned down!!!)  Our prayer is for all the elements to come into balance so that we honor the water, air and the earth in addition to the fire that we tend to worship a bit more ;-)

SOL 039 - "Syria" by Unders

2. Syria (Satori Remix) - Unders

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.

Lesson Of Harmony No.5 - Niklas Ibach

For the second installment of Let's Dance! The ambient and electro-accoustic beauties were put at the top of the set for the affect of a warm up rather than a cool down. The result was divine. Dancers arrived and sank into a deep space with the music, stretching, swaying and interpreting with no conversation. This in turn set the space for a full-steam dance party also with no loud conversation. Djing to a crowd that is entirely engrossed in the music without the psychic and audio distraction of chit-chat was unlike anything I've experienced and I am thrilled to go that deep with everyone again and again!
The next installment is at Temple + Tribe at 2:30pm on February 4th.

Old Friends Inst. - F.S. Blumm and Nils Frahm

Recorded live at the Love Burn, this Miki Beach set is inspired by the ongoing metamorphosis of Noor and her soul's evolution that has taken her on a journey of empowerment and transformation.She begins her set with a quote by author and TEDx speaker Mel Robbins, where she says there's a five second window after our morning alarm rings where we can move from idea to action before our brain convinces us to stay comfortable. With leadership and success comes great discomfort, and through her set, Noor shares this powerful thought with the world. As a storyteller, humanist and peace advocate, Noor's mission through music is to raise vibrations through healing frequencies.

Sit back and enjoy this trip back to our camp at the Love Burn.

Losing my virginity in terms of playing an Ecstatic Dance event turned out to be a really interesting experience and quite different to my usual gigs. Only having two hours to craft the type of journey that would usually take me up to 8 hours required some precise attention to track selection and mixing, as my intention was to take the dancers on a flowing and seamless cinematic voyage from an atmospheric and sensual warmup, into an hour of full on ecstatic dance music that culminated in an emotional and relaxing conclusion. Judging from the reaction of the dancefloor, which literally exploded at one point, I think it was a successful foray into a new world and I’m sure I’ll be playing many more of these in the future.
On a personal note I was also proud to include for the first time in a DJ set one of my own tracks from the debut EP of my new artist project Islandia, please check out and follow us here https://soundcloud.com/islandia or take a look at our website www.islandia.fm for all the latest news and original music. As always.. thanks for listening, this was definitely one of my favourite sets of 2018 so I hope you enjoy it as much as I did!

An artist with a difference, Stevie Keys is an accomplished DJ who draws on his classical background to perform live piano over his sets, as well as a renowned producer with a history of releasing house music going back 20 years. You might not realise it but if you’ve been on a dancefloor in recent years you’re likely to be familiar with Stevie’s production as his original tracks have been released on some of the hottest labels around, licensed to over 100 compilations worldwide and supported by the world’s biggest DJ’s, such as Carl Cox, Pete Tong and Armin Van Buuren.

Born in Australia and always obsessed with music, Stevie Keys first trained as a classical pianist, before moving on to study sound engineering and completing a Bachelor of Music in Vocal Performance. By the age of 18 he had a record deal as a solo artist and had performed all over Australia, supporting artists such as Bjork and The Prodigy on their tours of the Southern Hemisphere.

Moving to London at the age of 19 he went on to record under various artist names including Antartica (for seminal UK dance label React), Altitude (Bonzai Records/ Sony), Sound of Soho (with Eye Industries/ Universal) and Tremor (for the influential Progressive House imprint Platipus).

Some career highlights include cowriting songs with legendary artists such as Nile Rodgers & Bernard Summers, remixing for the likes of Sia, R Kelly and James Holden, hosting a weekly radio show on DI.FM (one of the pioneering internet stations for electronic music) compiling and mixing compilation albums such as The Art of Chill (Sony) and producing several underground club hits that broke into the UK singles chart and were subsequently licensed to major labels such as Sony and Universal.

Now resident in Koh Phangan, Thailand which is famous for the Full Moon Party but is also becoming a popular destination on the international DJ circuit. In 2015 he created the now legendary Why Nam day party, before moving on to found Bambu Huts, which is fast becoming one of the most popular music venues in Thailand. 

Finally settled in this tropical island paradise after years of travelling the world, Stevie Keys is the resident DJ/ musical director of Bambu Huts, where he created The Sunday Session in 2023. This weekly event quickly established itself as the premier party on the island and is famous for having a distinct & sophisticated sound focused on afro, organic & deep house. Here Stevie plays extended sets with live musicians every week alongside illustrious guests such as Chus & La Santa (Redolent/ Stereo Productions), Djuma Soundsystem (Iziki Global), Igor Marijuan (Akasha Ibiza), DJ Ino (Cafe de Anatolia), Rezident (Anjunadeep) and many others.
